No, but I'll go out on a limb and say that's probably an unfortunate line choice...

Not me, but my dumb buddy, was riding in skate shoes and hit a rock with his foot so hard that it ripped his shoe off his foot.

Did you crash? Or just give your shorts the old pressure test?

Was riding Crosscreek today, and was doing suspension tweaks. Got the forks feeling right and was clicking thru the woods pretty damn fast and caught the edge and it took me down. That place is like riding concrete right now.

Worst thing I ever did was clip a brush hog (they left it unhooked from the tractor for soem damn reason) in some tall grass one day in a field at a pretty high rate of speed. It ended up pretty ugly, for me and the bike both.

Not my toe. My whole foot. In the old days when bikes had two shocks. Wedged my Full-Bore between the shock and the wheel, drug my ass off and through the whoops.

Poor guy couldn't figure out why his RM just lost 10 HPs. It was actually kind of funny. I was being a little aggressive with him to convince him to get out of the way. Ended up screwing both our days up. They had to pull the shock to get my foot out. No injuries, though, except to my pride.

well theres the problem you should be on the tracks out there silly! were you doing the long loop? i like the trails out there as its about the only place around centex that has real trails. talk about hardcore , i know of a guy who was racing once and hit a stump, i believe, with his foot and well he soldiered though the rest of the race but it ended up costing him his big toe Shocked one tuff dude thats for sure....

I dont ride the MX track at CCMX, I run the trails to put in seat time for scrambles. And right now, those trails are hard as granite. I want to head to the National Forest, but need to get a spark arrestor.

Friend of mine missed a turn on his CZ (that happened a lot) and went completely through an old barbed wire fence. Ended up laying on the entry road, had to come back in the front gate. Had all these little triangle shaped holes in his Torsten Hallmans. We were all real impressed.

some how crashed going into a turn and the bike flipped onto my back, when i went to get it off....the wheel was still spinning and lets put it this way, my elbow killed the motor. fortunatly it was way back in my 125 days.

the big fat lady at the hospital scrubbed the rubber out of the skin!

91 buds creek 125 quailfer. im in 4th about 4 turns in, land in some mud after a double and do a redbud bradshaw over the bars. my arm gets jamed in the rear wheel so bad they have to red flag the race. couple mechanics come over and pull my rear wheel off so I can get my arm out." hand is in the sprocket" Im so pumped I ask them to hurry and get it back together so I can make the restart.

the crowd went nuts when I put my helmet back on and hauled ass to get back to the start.

couple min later I go stright into a tractor tire in a switchback. over the bars again & rung my bell hard.

not a good day

A few years ago my son got a couple of his fingers caught in another riders back tire. This was a beginner rider and he kept going all the while dragging my son up the hill with him. Everyone standing there was trying to get him to stop and he just kept trying to go. I did not even see what happened I was making my way up the hill to the spectator area while this was going on. About half way up the hill someone yells at me that it was Garren. Naturally I try to get to him as fast as I could. However, his dad got there before I did from where he was standing. Thankfully he was okay with no real bad damage to his fingers. And he also finished the race.
