Well it is not as bad as the title suggests. Was up Vic park yesterday and tracks were good. Did not realise it absolutely poured down last night - today tracks were wet and greasy. Coming down "Brents" - lost the front and went down. Managed to find the only log with a branch sticking out of it for at least a 5 metre radius - glove wrecked, hand a bit sore
7 stitches later

Any other hard luck stories this weekend ?

omg! what a waste of an otherwise good glove... dats got suck lol.

Yeh, I had an off on flying nun... first time I have crashed and hurt something for a long long time! I am blaming it on not being used to riding rigid!! Front wheel stopped on a rock and now I have a grazed elbow and a bruised knee...

Was a nice day up there tho...

No photos of the injury... but a nice photo from the top of the hill...

Wow that looks sore!!

Did you have your knee and shin guards on?

Ha Ha - no, wasn't it you that said "I would be in a world of pain" before we set off -

My shin is OK , more than I can say for my hand

So who is it going to be next ?

We need to get others to ride with us so they can share the eeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr love

Hmmmm....

If thats a picture of love I don't want any part in it!!!

well i was the passager and i rode and rode.........

not damage today but last weekend there was. had to strap the wrist up so it could not move and then still ride like i was from the other island.

Hmmmm....

Thats a bit of bad luck Zane - what were you doing on a rigid anyway, getting some training in for the next undy 500 are we - perhaps a better placing than 3rd next time aye

With a lot of the "fun" tracks closed it was quite good to put some extra challenge into the normal tracks!! Obviously I was not up to the challenge tho... and damn my hands were pumped by the bottom of Vic park!!

Graphic mutilation? I was hoping for some dismemberment at the very least

Did exactly the same last night by falling into some bushes filled with broken bottles 9 stiches

It is a family show ( sort of ) - a mild form of censorship

Did exactly the same last night by falling into some bushes filled with broken bottles Laugh Out Loud 9 stiches Sad

Mate, I remember those days - when rigid was the only option

Haha and after you telling me to be careful I still crashed in bridge track!!! There was a log over a very common place to ride that nobody removed. There were heaps of skid marks going into it but the log was still there!!!
