what was the medical bill on that mother fucker

StuHaight (Jun 9, 2010 at 12:21)

Parents are military = $0, would have cost more than a couple thousand I'm sure, but I also got an injury down in the nether regions from this wreck that required a video x-ray (yes, it was some kind of video x-ray), so I have no idea how much that was.

so -- how did you do that?

iainmac-1 (Jun 14, 2011 at 11:42)

I see the hospital people are doing a good job stemming the blood flow

StuHaight (Jun 14, 2011 at 18:36)

During the cleaning phase a spurt of blood shot out and hit the wall 5ft across the room. IT WAS EPIC

Good job!

ouch and i thought i crashed hard

StuHaight (May 30, 2009 at 13:53)

It's not that I crashed hard (well, it actually was pretty hard), I didn't ride smart because didn't wear armor.

rippin-norco (May 30, 2009 at 17:58)

benko (Aug 12, 2010 at 9:26)

joshualovesmtb (Jul 20, 2011 at 20:52)

what did u hit?

StuHaight (Jul 20, 2011 at 21:15)

It wasn't a hit or anything, I was riding down a trail that included a dried out riverbed (so there was a ton of shale on the side walls). Since I was not strong enough at the time having tried out downhilling for the first time, I lost my strength in the high speed chatter and lost my grip, at high speed I hit the wall/rolled out of it for quite a distance, and it sliced it up super easily. I was an idiot for not having armour so yeah.

I need to upload a pic it's been almost 3 years, almost faded by now.

StuHaight (Apr 9, 2012 at 9:49)
