Since scars are tattoos with better stories, what's the story?

Mike - probably his left leg ;^)

Crappy story, actually.

Was practicing doing drops off the small retaining wall on the side of my driveway (total drop about
1.5 feet), but the landing is kinda sketch
- you've got a douglas fir right there

Anyway, I built up a small jump with a piece or railroad tie (flat) and a 2x6 (the ramp part), so
maybe a 2' drop total, including a bit extra for air time. I was hitting it all day, but wasn't
confident enough to do it with clipless yet, so I had running shoes on. Bad idea.

Long story short, went off the jump, foot slipped off the pedal, landed foot first, then bike into
leg, then flipped... somehow missed the tree. It was actually a really calm fall. I didn't even
notice the injury until I looked down and had blood running down my leg.

It was bad enough the red cross wouldn't let me give blood for a year. Thats ok, I give enough on
the trails!

Anyway, that was about a year and a half ago. Picture was taken by throwing my 2-days-healed leg on
the scanner. Glad I've got a digital camera now! The wound was actually pretty deep, the bike went
in, then twisted out. I still haev 8 of the 10 marks visible. Fun times

Not my page, just a collection of injuries from the guy's friends and readers.

Nothing beats a total mangled leg.. and on a 1.5 foot drop to boot!

It wasn't all that bad. Was a bit stiff for a week or so. The worst part was that I was hitting it
all day long, hitting a bigger drop elsewhere, an dwas fine all day. Just that one time I slipped
off... ouch!

Nice burn, glad that was the worst of it (skin heals fine, it's bone and tendon that really get ya).

What really has me freaked is the pair of pics of that poor Sugar...I can totally see that
happeneing to mine (me and my poor cookie-cutter...ha). Hopefully that ovalized and
compound-radiused down tube they used for 2k2 will keep that nightmare at bay...ugh.
