Uuuhhgg! So I came out of a 2nd gear sweeper yesterday , rear end passed me up ( luckily I didn't high side )......but the rear kept going.....and I did a full on set of splits. It hurt when I did it.......but holy crap am I sore today! I guess I have to get into some yoga classes or something.

Also bruised my side a little. When the splits got to the point of almost making me into a female , and the bike hit the ground , I let go of the bars and I got slapped to the ground pretty good. Knocked the wind out of me.....and it happened really fast.

First little wreck I've had on my Kawi......but man there were bikes and bodies down every where yesterday. Super hard ground with a layer of silt on top.....I mis-managed the throttle. Aching today for sure.

Never strained my taint....Haven't done THAT but I DID do this about 9 weeks ago at an REM race......didn't even crash when it happened the lower part that is. The upper tibial plateau was done about 10 years ago! I'm already walking, with a slight limp until I get my full range of motion back in the ankle.
My knee joint healed 100%....I can jog 5K's no problem; and the doc that did the tib/fib says the ankle joint should heal 100% as well. Which means I can't wait to get back on the bike! Friends and neighbors think I'm absolutely nuts.....

Yes,tore my inguinal ligament and groin muscle doing the splits as you described about two years ago. Still bothers me every now and then.

Got my foot caught in a rut going around a corner threw me off balance and I grabbed a fist full of throttle felt like it ripped my leg off, torn my groin muscle, driving home in my standard truck, tears would roll down my cheeks every time I had to use the clutch.

Yep..groin pulls/tears suck. I had a hernia fixed years ago and it didn't hurt near as much as pulling those testical tendrals.

Yes... Dove into a deep rut once (nice bar dragger I might add), then I slammed my heel into the ground... Managed to stretch my leg back while I was pinned on exit as I slipped off the bike and my other leg kind of stayed with the bike. Splits a speed, THAT HURT! I was laying in the exit of that rut holding my groin for a good two to three mins, before I limped over and sat down against a hay bale for about another 10-15 mins. I had to get help to load my bike after. Laughing

This is about what I sounded like.

I think I did that in 2007 or so. Pulled a holeshot but left the inside open a little bit and got kamikazied by another guy. Tried to save it by keeping my right foot on...I threw my left leg out and caught my toe and the bike kept going.

I didn't feel any groin pain but my big toe immediately started hurting. I got back up and got restarted. My toe kept hurting really bad every time I had to shift. About halfway through the moto I could tell something was wrong with my toe nail because every time my foot moved inside my boot I could feel the nail moving.

Anyways, finished the moto and went back to the truck. Didn't even want to take my boot off because I knew it was bad. Finally pulled it off and took my sock off. My big toe nail was just peeled back and barely attached. The only thing that was holding it on was a little chunk of skin at the base of the nail. I figured by boot had peeled it back when i planted my foot during the splits.

That was my last moto of the day. Packed up and drove home. Didn't really know what to do if I should go to the hospital or not. Made the decision I would just go see my Dr. Monday AM. Later that night while trying to sleep, it was throbbing so bad. I had to get up in the dark to get some pain pills. Damned my luck....I stubbed that toe on our coffee table. It instantly took me to the floor and I was close to tears....one of the worst pains I have ever felt (way worse than breaking leg, collarbone, busted knees, etc.) After just laying there for a few minutes I got up to turn the light on to check it out, blood everywhere. Got it cleaned up and realized the toe nail was gone. Went back and there it was laying on the floor, ripped clean off.

Took about 1 week before I could walk on it without crutches. Never went to the Dr, but it grew back fine after a few months. I still to this day have fears of having to face this injury again.

Ouch!

Been there done that! Not cool.

My old lady did the splits waterskiing one time too, she had bruises on both thighs for ages, fuckin nasty!

Stretching is one of those things you don't do till you wish you did!

Wow guys.....I feel bad for even posting what I did. Sounds like I got off easy compared to some of you!

Just finished all my yard work for the day.......and it took me about 3 X longer than normal as I'm hobbling around like a 90yr old.

And BTW....I do have to start taking my stretching a little more serious. I don't do enough of it , or stetch as far as I should be able to.

We used to flat track, wheelie, drift what ever just goofing off on the flats after doing motos. Fun getting the rear way out there and sometimes to far. Lol oh the groin pain. Good times.

I'm good man. Just feeling a little beat up today. Walking a little crooked. The most pain I'm feeling now is this big lump under my right side rib cage. About 1/3 the size of a baseball. Got the wind knocked out of me and this morning had a bunch of stuff in my airways. Went to the bathroom and coughed it all up and there was a little blood mixed in with it. It's cleared up now , but I definitely moved some shit around inside. I'll be good to go by next weekend. Hope your doing good Hopps! And enjoying your new house and all! We'll roost soon enough.

I think I did it the same way you did. I was at Beaumont after heavy storms, the dirt was absolutely perfect, little slick in the corners, but still tacky. I came around the corner pretty fast and my bike was sideways like a flat track bike, and it was about to slide out and I stuck my leg down and essentially I did a semi split.

Where you heading to Sharkey? I know Washougal has the PRO race going on , but I think I'll be doing Mtn View. The following Friday on July 4th I'll be heading to Washougal for the practice day. Then hopefully try my hand at racing again at the OTMX round the weekend after.
