my god dam pain the last year and abit! aaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhh!ok so its called 'My knee, my bike and me' for a reason and that reason is because i basically killed my knee about 14months ago while riding with my buddddyyyysss Pip and Steve. so let start the story.

Once upon and time there where 3 cyclelist who decided to go riding one day as they did any other day, the day was nice warm weather in june of 2006(i think)was also nice and sunny too.so the 3 cyclelist Pip, Danny and Steve all went out on thsi fine day for a good riding session to get them in the mood for their holiday to Les Gets in france. So here's what happend on that fine sunny day in june. Danny Pip and Steve all went to a place called Holywell where their were some little kids riding around on there bike having some good fun, there they were riding around doin some jumps and good riding, they were there about an hour then decided to go the other riding spot also called Holywell or the FarmerCry .
So they made the way about 5mins to the farmer, they got there and started to ride again jumping have some good fun on the bike's.
Danny wanted to do the farmer as he had done many times before, so he takes some runs upto the farmer to judge the speed adn get a good feel for it. Steve decided he wanted a video of it so got out his video recording thing( aint sure what is was looked like a psp) ready to take the video and pip stood at the other side of the jump called the 'Farmer', this jump was about 10ft gap and had a good lip to kick you into the air.
In this time Danny has took 3 or 4runs upto the jump and is ready to go. he sets off get 3 pedals in, steve start recording and pip stands and watches, he hits the jump. front wheel leave the take off, rear wheel leaves the take off and started to go over over he went over the handle bars totally missing the landing leaning over the back wheel as far as he could go, he lets go of his bike didnt have enough time to get his arms extended and his the ground very hard with his face, the bike flipped ove hime and lands in a bush. Steve stops recording and rushes over. 'Are you ok danny' he says, also did pip. danny stands up and well ermmmmmm....... ok ok i cannot remember that part now so thats is the story over i killed onself on a jump.


anyways over the year i kept having pains in the knee goin back and forth to the hospital, got fluid took out my knee(ooo that was nice) and eventually i made a hard choice to stop riding and get my knee sorted, well the time has come and my knw(i hope) is now better strong then ever so i am gettin back onto the bike!:P:P:P witch has made me very very happy only thing is i dont have a bike nomore so am goin to be buying another one.
Maybe a specialized p2 or something like that, then maybe another bike like a specialized sx trail and a xc bike to get to the pub and back. Yes you NEED a bike for the pub its in my book the law!

so theres a littleWink story about My knee, my bike and me.

God that you that is over.Pimp
