Injury, face plant
« on: May 12, 2008, 11:52:44 AM »
Well, i fell realy bad on Friday, my own fault, vaulted over a 5ft wall, then coming back over i lost consentration, clipped my feet, went down head first on to a stone wall, then smashed my hip on the floor,

just been for xray, and s--t, iv got a little fracture in my hip, and a cut on my head,

i had all my usual protection on so it could have been a lot worse but i wish i'd had my impact shorts on, i'v got lazy and stoped wearing them, so its my own fault.

bugger sounds bad. i'm a bit of a dare devil but havnt hurt myself to bad yet.

but mybe i should look into those impact shorts after bouncing back on my ass after going for a front 360. (felt like i had a tennis ball size swelling.)

Gutted guys! methinks I need to start wearing some protection, I only wear knee pads and wrist protectors atm, but then Im not that adventurous yet on bocks! lol! Think I will get a big roll of bubble wrap from work, wrap myself in it, and then try a flip! lol!! 


 Get better soon!  :Straddle5:

Everyone is different Aiden and for some people the mental block is something they can never get over. You just have to push yourself constantly. I do find though once you've overcome the smallest of confidence problems, it gives you a real boost and the sense of achievement makes you hungry for something else.

i'm just a lot anoyed at myself for not using my impact shorts, i will in future, i can't wear head gear, but i wuldn't have that cut if i'd had a hat on,

it did scare me, but i'm just gona try and get on with it, i'l give it a week or so, then see how i feel, but the weather is so nice, i feel sick not being on my stilts in this weather, hopefully i wont have a block, locky what did you do after your wrist injury?.
