Second was my knee, landed cockeyed off a jump, foot hit the ground and my knee bent to 90 - sideways. Tore acl, mcl, meniscus, and chipped my femur.
3 broken ribs, snapped collarbone and partially collapsed left lung-Not fun Ascot 91
Cracked pelvis, hunk out of left arm-Definitely not fun. Carlsbad 90
Spiral tib fracture that required 3 screws, snapped fib and 100 days on crutches-Seriously no fun. Carlsbad 94
Herniated L5S1-Stoned chiropractor ( I wasn't aware until weeks later when massage therapist told me) instead of stretching me (as he had done dozens of times before) went ahead and gave me low back adjustment in 2001. BAM! Three weeks on the couch eating Vicodin like they were M&Ms followed by THREE years of pain and discomfort.
Of course I went and practiced as soon as the discomfort stopped but it took two more years before I could race again. Thank God for inversion tables and Vax D otherwise I would have had to have had back surgery.

felt like my whole lower teeth were like skittles rolling down the road.
That said, absolutely none of my injuries hold a candle to some of you guy's. Wow.
I tore an acl that had been my most painful ever moment and it hurt really bad for like 5 minutes I mean an intense "9" on the pain scale but it felt better in a few. I still couldn't bear weight on it but it quite hurting so bad after about 5 minutes.

Right wrist – Navicular, wrist, and the 3rd time a plate
Broken ribs several times ~ do not sneeze!!
Left hip – Dislocated which cut the blood supply to the ball ~ hip ball is slowly deteriorating
Right Collar Bone – Twice
Right Leg – Tibia and Fibula, plated, rod lots of screws ~ loss of a ½” of length
Right Knee- Tibia Plateau
Right Hip – Shattered, plated and a rod with lots of screws ~ loss of a 1” of length. Happened in Chile and did not have surgery for 3 days after flying to LA
Right leg is now 1 ½” shorter……lots if $$$ spent on lifts
Countless bruises, rips and epidermis tears with and without stiches
Dislocated hips really do hurt
ACL,MCL,PCL, 5 vertebrae and out cold for 10+ minutes. Don't remember much but it still hurts today.
Show of hands, how many have "the bump" ? (I know there's a name for it, can't remember)
The Bump... Left side.
Pit Row
But I think the worst pain was crashing my Honda Aero 50 2 days before Loretta's on the road out front. Wearing shorts and a tank top. I think I still have asphalt in my leg from that. Dave Coombs Sr. picked my scooter up and made me push it back to our pit and I was banned from riding it the rest of the week. The pain trying to race with the road rash was unreal. My dad was extremely pissed. I never got on a pit bike again.
Before and after. Kicking starting my sons 250f. Just had shoes and shorts on (I know, I know). Foot slipped off on the way down and caught the peg. Weird thing is, I didnt realize I did it until I looked at my other son and he turned white as a ghost. So, I wasn't even riding, and its not the worst injury I 've had in MX but thought I would share anyways.
Also, my tibia was so white it looked like it had been bleached. Got a direct view of it before the bleeding started. The blood in the first pic was all that it bleed. Finally, as one who sutures wounds, I appreciate how well I was sown up.
.......or when you say "I'm just gonna' make one more lap around before I go home"!
