back in 97 my diamondback frame snapped at the neck, the front wheel tucked under the bike and I flew over the handlebars going downhill and landed about 20ft down in rocks and bushes. I have one front tooth implanted, all my other teeth had to be wired in and the lower half of my nose stitched back on(thats right I could peel me nose back). anyways thank God I had my helmet on(it shattered)

The next year diamondback started reinforcing under the downtube and thats why...

Highsided on a loose corner at the start of last season, landed with my right leg stuck out sideways, ankle rolled under me with all my weight on it and I pretty much destroyed it. Dislocated it and broke it in four places. Spent three nights in hospital off my face on morphine and came out with some internal bling

Sets off airport scanners like there's no tomorrow.

I also compound fractured my right arm a good few years ago on a drop. This is how it looked in the temporary overnight cast (they had to wait til the morning after to operate).

Had rods in that and all
