O_O was out on my bike tonight and someone has been pissing about with my rebound on the rear... hit a jump only a lil 20ft thing and everything went rong and hit my face off the stem and yeah i have dislocated my nose O_O AHHH its ehm well kinda sore !!


and theres whats i smacked my face off of O_O ahaha wish i wore my full face helmet now

 

remember years ago i missed the landing of a double and face planted my stem it fuckin hurts

 

You didnt notice your rebound was that off till you hit a jump!?

What frame are you riding? I dont think you could have hit your face off a worse stem either, i have a straight line too and its bloody sharp, not looking forward to hitting my chest off it. (my face will be fine as im not silly enough to ride without the full face on )

 

bloody hell mate ( excuse the pun ) i bet that was nasty

 

ahah coz all i was doing was riding down the road just jumped on the bike and went down my hill and the jumps at the bottom of the hill :/ the slitest turn of it might not seem much diffo on the flat but when you hit somthing big it changes the bike altogether

totally going to weir my troylee 24/7 now :L lol lesson well learned !

and its a custom built orange 224 i didnt like the feel of the small fram so got one made for my size :P

 

ouch. yep if you have a full face wear it is my motto.

years ago i was at delamere forest on the table tops, were easy but not easy to get from 3rd and clear the 4th. was a really hot summers day so took my full face of as i was taking it easy. needless to say i missed the landing ramp on the 3rd jump and landed in the middle of the copmression fron twheel first and face planed the 4th jump.

these jumps had been there for years, was hard as concrete and nocked me straight out for a good 15 secs!!

spent the night in hospital with concousion

 

aww gutted (N) .. dont get me rong i had a helmet on i had just my pisspot 661 thing on (was far to warm for full face)

 

aint that just the way

hope you get better soon mate

 

ahah cheers man (YY) i think the lessons well learnt

 

Painfull,I remember my mate years ago jumping on a BMX and on the landing the stem snapped.Needless to say he came off and there was lots of blood !!.

 

well theres 2 lessons to be learnt then

1. wear your full face (i bloody love my troy lee, its a carbon vagus one , cost about as much as the bike )

2. dont ride gay mountain bikes, get a bmx, none of this rebound shite to worry about )

 

gutted for ya mate oh well here to a speedy recovery.

 

A full face helmet and a bmx... Surely you mean your little sisters jeans and no helmet cause your too cool?

OP, did you order it directly from orange? Must have cost a bob!

 

Ouch! That stem looks pretty rugged, wouldn't wanna be smashing my face into that, sharp edges galore.

I don't use a full face helmet as I only do XC stuff and some tame DH, but seeing that has put a seed of doubt in my mind now!

Hope you get better and back out riding again soon bud

 

Ouch!

 

Had a simular smash on that set, broken nose ripped lower lip.

Is that the set which is on the far side of the forest over the stream past "No Brains" drop iirc?

 

oooooh, not bad.

i think no brains was a little further round pas the 4 cross track. the table tops were just up the hill next to the doubles. there was a down hill run tha started up there aswell and went down infront of the doubles and round a couple of burms and then a nice big jump.

this was at least 5 years ago though so may have changed alot since then.

 

Yeah thats the ones.

Them local lads were mad. I always bottled the 4th jump.

 

i could never make the 4th one. had to go too slowly over the 3rd to land it properly and never had enough speed for the 4th. mybe a should have altered my gearing for a better birst of power in the compresstion lol.

oh those were the days

 

iv got a bmx in the shed ... but common dh is so much better
aha yeah i have a troylee D2 full carbon and a troylee full carbon with a costom paint job on it ....never wore it though :P its to nice :L

it feeling quite sore today tbh ahah 3 chipped teeth and a swollen lip NICE!!!!!:L ....and a squint nose :L

ANY BIKERS ON HERE LETS SEE YOUR BIKES ???

 

here's mine .. lets see your bikes any style of bike to (e.g bmx ., trials .....

 

Ouuuch!


Im looking into getting a mountain bike, used to be right into bikes when I was younger but have lost touch with it all....whats good, whats not???? will be for road/downhill use..dont want to spend much more than ~Ł800

 

Bet thats fackin sore, wouldnt like to header that bar.

I've got a Raleigh Activator you could tart up a bit Dave? Not sure if you know, but the Activator range already comes with a pretty serious suspension set-up on the front. It'll probably just need a re-grease and you're good to go. Wouldn't want much for it either.... mates rates.


Cheers,
Grant

 

bloody hell, bet that was bad lol
worst thing i ever diod when i was riding bikes was went over a jump with my brother on the back ended up facin planting the floor and managed to cut my heal open on the pedal

 

Is that what you get for 4 grand jamie looks good like the sitechracing stickers Hope you heal ok bud.

 

i do racing, so its either racing trousers when im actually racing or joggers when im training, and joggers when i go street/trailing as well i hate wearing jeans....no movement for bailing

i only wear the piss pot when im riding street or parks, ive seen to many accidents because people think there hard wearing no helmet

i wear body armour too when im racing far to much of a pansy to just go in a t-shirt and no helmet

 

haha, i was too much of a pansy to do anythong that required body armor

come to think of it one of my mates was wearing body armor doing the down hill run i mentioned before and he came off one of the burms and dislocated his shoulder

 

The old mojo 223





And who can say no to a brand new sunday from for less than 1k, thank you alpine!

Need a new frame, I'm feeling an Intense 951 (oh, and a new shifter lol)

 

OUCH sounds nasty mate

 

↲no fella its a orange airo. Old school frame was made in 1998, its the best hard tail ive ever riden, ive also got a patriot, just cant get on with full sus. I kinda like rocking up on a hard tail n riding harder that most of the full sus boys

 

nice !! ahah old school (love it ) yeah i know what you mean i ust to ride a kona stuff for years but thn when i started racing i needed to keep up with the rest of thm when going down fort william and inners .... so got a kona stab supreem (lmt word cup ) but i was like 12 year old and it was to heavy for me ..

 

was thinking of coming up to fort william for the world cup this year,

may have to dust off and u date the patriot for that though

 

have you ever ridden the track ?? might enter the world cup this year ..coz im old enough now (YY)
you should go to the open day (YY)
