Comming down a hill, locking my front wheel up but then it regained traction, i went over the bars then rolled a couple of meters into a thorn bush. Ended up with my legs facing upwards, whilst laying on my back.

I was in stitches for ages.. Big Grin

(laughing that is Wink .)

I crashed out in the National Points DH in 1996 and hit a tree doing 40mph.

I broke:

Both arms and wrists.
Had my right hand re built
3 ribs on the right and two on the left
Sturnham (I think thats how you spell it)
Scapular
dislocated my sholder
and trapped a nerve in my leg and lost feeling from the knee down.

The worst thing was the three months without riding!

Well my friend's faceplants are funny as hell! I had a few crashes, nothing to serious. My friend once has a pretty big crash finishing 4 dirt jump, came to get a berm and just hit a step that he didn't see and went flying. Wasn't hurt or anything but the crash was pretty masive.

My worst crash was in ski. 4 years ago i think, got a concussion, cut my tongue 1 inch long and my lips were sweled up as hell! What happened is i came in to fast and wasn't ready for a small jump that the lip was nasty and way to sketchy and just went straight up flying! I landed straigt on my head no helmet... Was bleeding like insane. Remember nothing from that day almost, only reason i know is i was told by my friend that was there.

Sorry if its not biking related, its all i had :S
