took the trail bikes into the Hira forest today, was about halfway thru my ride, and i had my goggles off, but my sunnies on (goggles got fogged frm me walking down a track to see how steep it was, and this branch came out of nowhere, and clouted me in the eye, and I thought "fudge and basket", but it wasn't bad enough to stop riding, and the sunnies took the main force of the blow. I chucked my goggles back on, as they had de-misted, and we carried on riding for about 2 hours.

We stopped for a break, and my brother says "wtf did you do to your eye?", I thought the branch might have cut me, but it had punched me hard enough to burst a blood vessel..... ewwww yuck. Half my left eye is blood red, even the kids are creeped out by it.

Other than that, I didn't fall off, but managed to get a bee up my shirt sleeve, which of course stung me. We rode from 9am-4pm

Yeah recently at the tutamoe enduro i came screaming round a corner in the second section before the big river crossing and my front tyre went over a protruding rockberg and i washed out with my landing on another rockberg unfortunate that i didnt have some good knee guards because it was an absolute bastard to ride thanks to the guy(KTM) who picked my bike up and took it off the track for me while i was in agony

I went to him a jump once and there was some number 8 wire sticking out of the ground. It went around my rear wheel and I flew over the handle bars....
