Bloody hurts nowadays when you stack it, doesn't it!!!?

What would have been a sore leg 10 years ago becomes a week long ache and stuff!

I was at the little skatepark here in Lara the other night and REALLY wanted to get my barspin jumps back (i really miss them!)

So after a few dead sailor jumps i knew i had to just go for it......and ended up fully stacking it!!! lol

Luckily nothing broken, but torn muscle hurts a tad to say the least!

I want to be at the age again where nothing seemed to hurt and i was fearless! booooohooo!

Yeah, old age stackage is the suck. Just ask my ribs. They're still sore. And I have to go ride with Joel Alamo on Monday. Told him I was getting nine feet before the stack and now I'm gonna be lucky to get 6. Might just stick to the foam pit that day!

Absolutely.
I find that 25 years of crashing has made me quite good at it though!!

Even foampits can bite if youre unluky.I was backflipping at corby the other week and came down short.My face guard of my f/face helmet hit me in the strernum on my chest.Still hurts now.Combined with a bruised coxix and a cold it makes you feel pretty ropey.But I'm still gonna ride on sunday

Neurofen is the answer.

I think it's just a case of being more relaxed when younger, nowadays we tense up waiting for the pain. Like when your drunk and fall over dont seem to hurt yourself as much.
My injury from this year; a month before MK08. Crashed at MK track, I wouldn't say a bad crash, got up and went to pick the bike up.

Broke both arms

i bet that was a pain gary both bloody arms

crashes are poo but they stay with you like a scrap book
if there is anything i can forsure remember from btd its my crashes
and then the memories of that day come flooding back so a good point from a bad thing.

Both arms out of action is a nightmare - did that about ten years ago - tried to bail a 360 off a ghetto ramp at Kelvingrove and got my legs caught in the bike, came down on both forearms. Broke the radius head in my right arm, scaphoid in my right wrist and hit the left arm almost hard enough to break it, but not quite so that was f@ckin' agony as well.
Not good.
And going to the toilet was fun too....

At least we're not all ex porn stars with non-secreting nads coupled with torn ligaments of the peen. I'd take a decade over an anal shot any day. but would prefer a combo of the two. BMX pron anybudz?
