How much do you hate wrecking yourself when you have a whole host of riding planned i have a broken finger put .... and i cant ride my bike it put me out of the irish national champs at the weekend which i had been traing for all year  i know bongs out aswell and has a trip planned how crap i feel for ya dude

It must be injury season.

I've just missed two weeks in france, due to fecking my thumb on some off-piste stuff at Glentress a couple weeks ago.
Thankfully I never broke anything, and all the ligaments are still intact.
It's slowly getting back to normal (consultant reckons another 3-4 weeks), but I managed to ride the bike at the weekend without too much pain. It still hurts like feck if I catch it in certain ways, or try grabbing tightly onto anything though

how did u do it at the off piste stuff at GT?? 

[Mr.SandmaN]

ya injurys really suck man hope ya fix fast , i managed to dislocate my shoulder on my FIRST ride on my new supreme last summer on the second corner of my first ride ... i was so god damn angry with my self , had to wait 4 months before i could rid again , it didnt even seem like a new bike by the time I got to ride it again

how did u do it at the off piste stuff at GT?? 

Going a bit too fast into a dodgy corner, and not really paying attention.
All I remember about the actual crash, is feeling the ground briefly touch my cheek, and me tucking my head down so the helmet done the sliding and not my face. Came to a halt, and my thumb was sore, making strange clicking noises, and I couldn't grip onto anything.

Plus I managed to pull a few threads out my brand new cycling top  
And add another scrape to the bike

lol, fair enough, its not exactly easy to crash at GT so you really must have been distracted

Complacency is one of the worst things to have.
