Shin mash

[Bomba]

This evening, in semi-darkness, I missed the pedal coming down from a no-footed air out of a half
pipe. I thought I'd capture the aftermath for everyone's pleasure

It's not very clear, but if you look closely, next to the 'P' on the pedals, you can see bits of my
shin, and there are leg hairs on the pins. http://www.j-harris.net/bike/shin/P1010006.JPG

And this is the state of my leg (warning: welders goggles may be required to screen you from the
whiteness of my legs): http://www.j-harris.net/bike/shin/p1010001.JPG

How'd you find floorboards light enough to match your skintone?!?

My word. Now that's an English leg.

Did you cry?

Are you still crying?

If anything is going to make me cry, that is it. I think I did it that bad once or twice in
my youth...

I think I cried the entire time between occurences.

Ouch!

Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should
give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

Hehe. At least you were using these:

Just ordered a pair of SIXSIXONE 4x4 shin guards. Not the Shinburger pedals though.

Just remember, chicks dig scars. Especially the ones removing grit from you in the operating room.

Didja ever see my little video escapade in the emergency room???

*Barfs all over the place after watching video*

Can't stand that medical room ********, when i get a gash i put some paper towels on it and tape it
on (duct tape is not a good idea) Now that I just watched that i'm going to bed to have nightmares
of people inserting needles into my open wounds.

Surprisingly, it didn't actually hurt that much. Sure, I got off the bike and marched around a bit.
And the German kids learnt some new English words But after that it wasn't too bad. I put it down
to the fact that I've been beating my shins like this for well over ten years now and I reckon I'm
either really used to it, or a load of the nerve endings are dead.

> Are you still crying?

No, but my leg's still weeping...

s'true, sometimes a fair whack in the shins gets the adrenalin going and you can actually ride
better. In your case though bomba, it looks like you took it a bit too far - ouch. Did you manage
to ride out of it? or are you too scared to show us the picture of your face after it piled into
the floor..

BTW Has anyone else noticed that scar tissue doesn't tan?

WTF!!!??? - _Is that it_?!?

You fecking wuss - I've seen more painful and scarier looking milk spillages. Last time I did that
to my shin, it took me a week to find out, and then only 'cos someone else pointed it out to me. In
fact, I can't even believe you have so little shame as to post pictures of that scratch here.

Shaun aRe sooooo not impressed.

Ohhh yeah! Nothing like giving them a challenge. "Let's see this bit goes here and that bit
goes there..."

Mike - at least it's on your right leg. ;^)

Yep, I think we can all say thats a familiar site. I think next time I get a real bad shin bite, I
will post it. The closest I got to a real bad fall latley was at a park, I fell so hard I actually
cracked my knee pad...time to put some rivets in it...

I think it is because there is no pigment in the tissue because of the trauma, i have this line on
my arm that u can see bright as day even when i'm sporting my redneck style tan.

My scar tissue is usually darker than the rest of my skin.

I love that Doctor: "...kinda tack it down best we can..." "You're young and healthy, things'll
probably work out OK" "...even then there's no guarantee..."

The needles are OK. The stitching is OK. But the bit where he rubs hard it to get the **** out just
makes me cringe... I hate little trees.
