Hope it all heals up well:)

would body armour or 2 extra wheels not be better? :wink:

hows the leg now mate?

Getting much better thanks, stitches out on Wednesday and I’m sort of walking on it now.

I was wearing full armour though, all my upper body and knee and shin, just not thigh. Even if I was wearing thigh pads though I think it would still have happened as the flint came off my knee pad and hooked straight into the flesh before a thigh pad would have started, it would then have just pulled the thigh pad up, like it did my shorts. Could have been worse, could have gone through my knee cap! :wink:

You’re lucky you didn’t cut your todger off:D

I’m sure the flint would have needed to be much bigger

WOW
That is totally gross.
FHM used to do something like that so you can try wrapping yourself up in the years free subscription of magazines they give you!
Good luck in your recovery.

I do like the caption on the picture of the first link you had there

“what do you mean there was a problem creating my new ******”

Hee hee thats funny

Well you certainly look more worse the wear than the last time I saw you Rob.

I should buy shares in band aid or summat :slight_smile:

Tell me about it mate, I was using the longest post operation dressing the hospital had, basically just a massive elastoplast!

Hey Rob,

How’s the leg healing? Got any good scar pics then?

Not got any current scar pics, I’ll have to take some. It’s healed really well despite finding a couple of extra stitches they’d missed when they removed them. Looking forward to hitting the beach in my speedos in a couple of weeks time to show off the scar! (joke!!!).

The pic is also in this months Mountain Biking UK Mag if anyone reads it.

I’m back on the bike again now, on my first trip back my mate broke his wrist, and they say bad luck comes in threes! :eek:
