Broken, beat and scarred

[Pierce]

First big accident on my bike I:
Broke right ankle
ACL in left knee stretched and flipped in the knee joint so I couldn't straighten or flex the knee
Grade 2 tear or MCL miniscus tear
Cartilage pieces also stuck in the knee joint
Right knee damaged ligaments too

Dislocated left shoulder on multiple occasions

Re-injured left fully blowing out the ACL to the point I no longer had one

Broke 2 ribs at Harrisville three days before having my latest ACL reconstruction from which i'm recovering from now. Lets just say having to walk around on crutches with broken ribs aint that cool haha

Currently waiting on approval for shoulder surgery for constantly dislocating it

2006 blew knee out, combination of moto,snowboarding and wakeboarding, moto crash was the last straw.
2007 Raglan broke 6 ribs, 7 spinal process, ankle, punchered lung and concussion + a nice helicopter ride.
2009 Ardmore broken collarbone, cracked hip on 2nd lap (cheers for the help pierce! and screw you KTM guy!!)
Cracked more ribs than i can count.

Got some pic's somewhere of another riding crash, snowboarding, collided with another rider and opened my shin up in a big way, nasty az, i'll find the pic's and gross you all out!

MRI of crunched vertebra after quad tumbled on top of me on dune at the Superbowl.

Felt huge boney crunch and never experienced pain so bad before,
could barely speak, couldn't even crawl or hardly move an inch.
Westpac chopper folks seem like angels from above when you need them.

Freaked me right out, instant mind-image of wheelchair - but lucky could still feel toes. Already on constant diet of high-power pain pills for nerve damage from previous spine issues - doh.
Bloody quads.

Ohhhh man am pissing myself here, you guys are awesome!! Best I can offer is giant leg bruises and a mild concussion... I'm obviously not going hard enough.

No mate, wasn't me. Guess the quad squash club has a few members.

My vote for nastiest slam might be Scott's pancaked pancreas. 25kg weight loss, must've been skin 'n bone. Most unpleasant mental image - KTMBoy's colourful tummy banana. Yikes.

I did my back too - crushed my T6 vertebrae in the superbowl too but on two wheels...should have kept the gas on.
The westpac helicopter boys had to carry me all the way out to the beach I think as the couldn't land to close in the superbowl. I was on morphine by that stage so it was a bit blurry but I sort of remember some complaints about carrying a stretcher in the sand!.
That was my second helicopter ride, the first one was on taupo racetrack where I highsided and busted my pelvis and wrist. ACC does not like me.

Mmmm, still creeps me out riding near superbowl. We were lucky I guess, it's the higher up vertebra that can really nail you.
I was gettin' nothing until 4th shot of morphine then it suddenly worked. Amazing stuff. Westpac guys were 1st class but hospital bods parked me in a corridor for 4 hrs until they remembered me.
