I cant really remember exactly what happened but i was jumping a set of doubles on the baddow pump track that I have been flowing over all week. Next thing I know I am on the floor with loads of people crowding round me. I smashed my head pretty hard and was pissing claret all over the track. I was wearing a helmet, but for the first time over there just a piss pot. I didnt have any pads on either as I guess I was feeling confident in my riding! I now have 5 stitches in my head, a fracture in my arm just below the elbow and a shit load of gravel rash! I have learned my lesson and when I can ride again it will be back to the full face and I will put the pads on. I am just gutted now as it means at least six weeks wiyhout riding the track, no mountain biking over Danbury and no London Cruise for me

A couple of pics:

A couple of days before I was flying over it no problem. It just goes to show that the smallest of jumps can fook you up, and we dont bounce like we used to

Get well mate, youre right about the smallest of jumps being able to cause a whole load of damage.

Seen it so many times even at little tracks like MK including myself, even with a ff and pads still managed to lose loads of skin!
