Had a bit of a crash mountain biking at Glentress yesterday. Got one of the jumps all wrong and landed on my chin Had 6 stitches in it. Cut my forehead, grazed my legs, knees, elbow, chest, neck etc. too.

Not broken anything and it could of been a lot worse than it was. I had a helmet on but I wish it had been a full face one as wouldn't have any cuts or grazing on my face then.

Just a bit! Wasn't the nicest thing having the doctor attack it with what was basically a scourer like you would wash the dishes with.

The amount of bloody was un-real, you bleed a hell of a lot from your head, the little cut on my forehead totally covered one side of my face in blood! That pic was taken after we sloshed some water over it

Nasty. When I was younger I did a similar thing about 4 times when BMXing in the forest nearby. Chipped 3 teeth once and put my teeth through my lip a few times too after landing jaw-first

Never managed to graze myself as bad as that athough!

Ouchy. Send some of the best pics off to the mags - you might get some free gear.

Not quite as bad but reminds me of when I was stopped dead by a low hanging bramble branch that wrapped round my neck

I'm already on it in the hope that I can either get some vouchers to buy a full face helmet with or just some other free stuff First thing people said when they knew I was ok was get some pics sent off to MBR
