 first run - apparently at the bottom of sheepskull the jumpy thing has been built up into a bit of a double and as h came off it his foot came off the pedal and on landing it all went terribly wrong he's done quite a few ribs along with the other stuff just to make a proper job of it - epidural and morphine on demand along with tremadol but he can still speak - will be in hospital for at least the next 4 days then long recovery with lots of pinkbike reading

daft bear!!! too brave for your own good Wink

 Cheers guys

I just want to give a really big thanks to everyone for all the messages, texts, calls etc. Thanks for thinking of me guys.

It was quite a big one but one of those things that could have happened any time. I was going for the jump at a good speed but one of the braking bumps just before the take off shook me enough to just nock a foot off the pedal. So there I was off the jump one footed and out of control, think you can guess the rest.

Smashed shoulder, four broken ribs, punched lung and the usual purple/blue/yellow body parts etc.

If anyone is thinking of taking a holiday at the Gloucester Royal Hospital, I can recommend the all inclusive option with unlimited intravenous morphine Wink


Catch ya all sometime soon
