I was thinking today about how Bubbs has fooked himself up riding Harrow & was wondering if anyone can beat him, the only person I know who could have, or very close is Rom Bloke when he cracked his skull at Rom.

So anyone top either of these two ? Or if not what's the worst you've done ?

I know Greg & Diggler have broken legs.

the last bone i broke was my cheekbone, trying a tailwhip onto the platform of our old ramps. backwheel hung up on the coping as i kicked the backend sending me face first into the metal railings at speed. it made a big dent in my face and had to have an operation to pull the bone back into place. trying not to leave any visible scars they shaved the side of my head and cut me open above my ear and put a tool down to my cheekbone to pull it back into place. that was before i started going bald though.

had a broken leg too on the same ramp, took a slam and ended up on the flat bottom with a lot of pain in my leg. i sat up and looked down at my foot thinking my shoe had came off because it was upside down facing the wrong way, my foot was still in the shoe.

broken my ribs a couple of times and a broken collarbone too.

Interesting you should mention the value of wearing a helmet Phil as I was returning from a mates one night a couple of years ago without a helmet & woke up in hospital. I have no recollection what happened.
I was unconscious for about 7 hours. Just a small scar on my jawline remains.

I think my worst injury was a torn rotator cuff due to hitting a rogue root after flying off a jump whilst downhilling & landed on my armpit. My arm slightly came out the socket. I nearly fainted.

In the last 7 years and as a result of riding bicycles.

Broken foot
Shattered heel
Eleventeen ribs
Shattered radius in wrist, the other bone, the ulna was also broken and poking out
Scaphoid in other wrist, more ribs
Collarbone
Severe pneumothorax or ruptured lung, more ribs
Collarbone again and the rib just below it, got a helmet cracker of a concussion as a bonus too, I couldn't remember the way to the hospital.
Not broke owt today though

Men who have incurred injuries love answering these questions.

You may as well ask who is the hardest & has the biggest man bits.

Riding gently back from the bogs at MK13 I had one hand on the grip, the other on the bog roll when I suddenly realised that the stem bolt on my silverfox wasn't properly tightened in the headtube any more - causing all control of steering to be lost and what felt like a very slow-motion fall to the side of the road

Luckily I escaped any severe physical injury, but was mentally scarred thanks to this happening directly in front of Hutchman Dave and Ash Kungfunky (who were on hand to ~~help~~ laugh at my misfortune)

So the loss of control had nothing to do with alcohol consumption then griff

I tried to kill myself about 4yrs back at Andover practising......

Came off in some triples on the 3rd straight, it was quite well documented on here at the time but without going in to too much detail i broke 3 ribs, broke my collar bone and dislocated my Sternoclavicular Joint which is still dislocated today. They can't do anything for it as the operation is very unsuccessful.

Had nearly 4 months off work.

I stopped racing after that. I had to basically.

I also had a crash at Bournemouth in front of Rad members Billy Stupple and Mike Wong of Dialled bikes, no injuries but god did they laugh

Billy also asked why i was body popping on a BMX track in front of everyone.

How about who feels the most hated, emptiest and the most detached from society ?

Better?

Yeah, only an idiot would ride a kids bike in a concrete skatepark without a helmet. ....

Or ride a mountain bike for twenty years previously and injur themselves just as much

This thread is moot.

Rombloke wins.

Although the dude who nearly lost both kidneys at the Charlton Spine Ramp deserves an honourable mention......
