rear wheel cased a 25 ' out 18-20 foot down roadgap by about 8" short.

The RESULTS, Brocken FEmur, Hairline fracture of the Hip on same ( right ) side, fracture of the Scapoid ( left shoulder blade ) bruised cartillage and Left kidney, possible brocken Ribs on left side ( too much pain to go on flat board by this point .

The biggest Deal is the Brocken Femur, week 5 and continuing to heal..

I broke my knee while wheelying... there was some Mineral Oil on the Disk. I tried to use the brake but ther was no chance to not fall over. I Used my legs to push me back on the bike and then I used the front brake.. that worked so i felt over the bar and landed on my knee.... it was in May and i wasn´t able to ride my bike for the whole summer...

I hate going over the handlebars. I did it my second time I went to Canada Olympic Park. I was going down Laserfade for the first time and I was going for the second last table right before the end and I ended up going over it nose heavy and I just flipped. I went face first into the ground (luckily I was wearing my full face) and slid on my right side for about 7 or 8 feet. Earlier that day I had cased at the top of Safari and I fell and cut open my arm. I ended up sliding on that same cut when I went over the bars on laserfade. I cut up my arm again and reopened the wound, then I tore up my other arm and I was shaking for about two or three minutes afterwars. I hit so hard it ended up losening my seat completely and I had to go retighten it once I finished riding down. It sucked cause I had dirt inside both cuts and it hurt a lot. The good thing that came out of it was my parents finally caved and bought me elbow pads from 661! Big Grin
