Anyone heard how Neil is?  Crash didn't look that bad but he was obviously in some discomfort.

Hey Neil, hope you're OK dude and heal as quick as you ride.

[RATTY]

Hope your ok mate, looked like a dislocated knee from where I was. Get well soon

[Zippy]

Hopefully your feeling a bit better when you read this Neil.

Looked painful to say the least. 

[Gary72]

Hope your feeling and better and the wife's not giving you too much "I told you so"

[Humps00]

Healing vibes to you Neil from the Humps family.  Humps

[mr.magoo]

Thanks for all the healing vibes, Mike, no crash wasnt that bad, but being run over, meant my body was skating on my chest plates faster than my leg was travelling under mr rusty's back wheel

Dislocated, then half poped back in while i was rolling around, then back in proper when i tried to stand up, hospital weren't that bothered, once i got xray'd and they knew nothing broken it was "heres a support bandage and crutches, come back to fracture clinic a week monday to access tissue/ligament damage" didn't even offer to help me get my trousers or shoes on?

Big thanks to the guys at Hersden for the ice and the ice pops and calling the ambulance.

Thanks every one, and see you all at the bay, though not sure if i'll be riding again by then, keep you posted

[billstup]

Glad to hear you`re ok Neil 

[RATTY]

Glad you're OK mate

Tell the Mrs you got off light and not to worry

Since i've come back i've had a broken thumb, ribs and brain surgery so a dislocated knee is nowt 

[Zippy]

Does that mean the offer of your bikes that your good lady wife is now not valid. 

Glad your ok though mate.

Hersden can bite quite hard can't it.

Ouch!  Didn't realise you'd been run over.  Just saw your bars tuck under and you go flying over the bars.

I hope this hasn't put you off Neil as you're definitely one of the fastest guys who has made a comeback this year and it will be great to see you in full flow on the track again.

[Zippy]

There's a few guy's that have come back this year that are going to be very good competition for some of the more established old schoolers. Rod, Damien and Neil are all going to be up there with Sam, Tony and Simon next year.

[mr.magoo]

No not put me off, might have a bit of an ultimatum coming, i.e. cruiser only, as wife thinks i fall off too much on old school, haven't explained that cruiser is actually faster!

Funny at the hospital, Doctor kept asking if this hurt as he was prodding me, told him it did when i did it, but generally i have a high pain threshold, so can't say it hurts, He was confussed and didn't know what to do

I didn't realise i'd been run over till Mr Rusty came and told me, i just thought i,d twisted my knee on the way down?

Couldn't keep me away now, getting faster and faster, and not so out of breath now. Just need to learn when to settle for not winning and when to take win or bin mentality

[Zippy]

I had a settle for second conversation with myself in the first berm when rubbing shoulders with Darren.

I figured second was better than being hurt and last. 

[Gary72]

What was the look on the docs face when you told him you had been BMX racing

Glad your feeling better

[mr.magoo]

being that i've heard they charge you if extreme sports, i changed into clean clothing and told him i was racing a mate across a field and i came off then he rode over me, did look at me a bit strange, maybe something to do with looking a whole lot older than i actually am, must've thought i was a bit weird...he was right

[region11]

glad ur ok neil. a few ppl went down today ! ouch 

[spillers#1]

Sorry to hear about you injuring yaself neil  i knew it was a good idea to chill out in wiltshire 

[mr.magoo]

i always had a motto bitd, if ya dont fall off you aint trying hard enough....maybee been trying too hard lately

[THIRSTYKIRSTY]

NEIL

YA A BLOODY LOOP CASE

GLAD YOUR NOT TOO BADD MATE AND ALL MY B,DAY VIBES ARE GOIN YOUR WAY FELLS

CRUISER IS FASTER ,,SO MUCH I THINK ,,BUT THEY BE A LOT MORE STABLE AND  YOU CAN NOTICE THIS SO MUCH WHEN RACIN THAT YOU TRY HARDER AND END UP ON DECK AS MUCH

HEEL WELL MY FREIND AND WATEVER YOU DECIDE TO ,,JUST REMEMBER,,,,TRY ENJOY IT 1ST THEN GO FOR IT ONCE YOU CAN RIDE SAFE AND FAST

EASY NEIL

RUSS

[mr.magoo]

Cheers Russ, it was the Hyper i binned, in an accident that was reminiscent of shinny at the olymics, just as i was about to duck under Bill, i either mis-timed it or Bill slowed and i clipped his back wheel as i turned in..

never mind, when it comes to BMX i am a few sandwiches short

Happy birthday mate.

[dialledbikes]

Yeah Neil, I think that's one thing we all learn after a few crashes that we're not as young as we used to be so we have to have a bit more self preservation.

This is my third comeback to BMX - first one in 1992 ended in smashed teeth, second one in 1997 a broken collarbone and ribs - so I do find myself holding back at times rather than risk getting injured.  It's frustrating at times, but being in a cast/not being able to ride is more frustrating.  Main thing now is having fun, riding smooth and not worrying so much about race results.

[THIRSTYKIRSTY]
