Hmmm..let's see- WHICH ONE....
Probably for me it would be an accident I had back in 98 or so. My buddy and I went out to ride a track out at Pabco. The last time I was there I was too chicken sh*t to take this double jump that was right out of a turn/burm. Well this time I had the confidence but not the speed. I pinned it in 3rd gear right out of the turn (I was on my YZ250). I was like hell yeah I'm hittin this biatch! .........Well I hit the jump no problem, but found out in mid air that since last time I was there somebody moved the landing another 10 feet or so. I would have cleared it w/ no problem, but instead I cased the landing with my FRONT tire. :angry: went flying over the bars on the impact and landed in front of the bike. I got up quickly and looked at my right hand which hurt like hell. It wasn't really in the right spot coming out of the sleeve of my jersey. I tried picking my bike up (like an idiot) because I was too worried about someone landing on me and the bike. Some dude came running over to me and helped me off the track. My ex-girlfriend and my buddy, Tom drove me to the ER and went into surgery and they placed 2 (external) pins in my arm for about 1.5- 2 months.
The real pain was when they finally had to remove them. The doc came in the room w/ a clipboard and a pair of needle nose pliers!!! :shocked2: :shocked2: :shocked2: I was like WTF are those for! He said- you'll see, don't worry about it. Holy hell that was some of the worst pain I have ever been through. The pins were about 2 inches long and only stuck out of my arm about a 1/4 inch! :shocked2:
I don't ride tracks anymore.
Another bad accident I had was when I flew off my Grizzly 660 w/ my new mud tires on it. I was only wearing shorts and Vans. My leg got sucked under the back tire, I reached for the handlebar and hit the throttle ripping my leg all to hell. Then I had to ride 7 miles home in the heat of July bleeding all over myself. I got stitches and was treated for 3rd degree burns all down my leg. WEAR THE PROTECTIVE GEAR EVEN IF YOU ARE JUST GOING OUT FOR A LIL PUTT PUTT RIDE!!!
Even in all the pain I managed to take a pic. Some call me crazy.
