being a tool, i decided to buy a bmx, and go the local skate park.

i thought it might be fun, and it was till i tried a drop in that was whey bigger than ive done before, fell about 8-10ft onto my wrist and now i cant move my arm.

note to self - i am no longer twelve, and i felt every ounce of my 14 1/2 stone.

off to a&e in a bit, cant move my elbow...

ouch.

hope it gets better, and maybe just twisted or something similar

Oooh hope all is ok, well not too much damage anyway.

Stories like that remind me of being 12 and just got a Raleigh Chopper, Dad, all 6'4" and 17 st of him thought a ride on it was a good idea, seeing him on his arse and the chopper sumersulting down the road is an image that will never leave me. He even replaced the wrecked bike too....

Remember getting cought on top of a concrete bus shelter by the local bobby, got told to come down, so I did! Should of seen his face, it was big drop off

Ahrrr takes me back, funnily enough just found some photo's whilst tidying out the shed of us doing a show promoting bmx bandits film!! Crikey just checked and that was 1983 and I was 14

Cheers

I was in Llandudno yesterday and was persuaded by my lad to go on the toboggan run with him, this is a metal track down a hillside which you ride down on a sort of skateboard contraption with a brake lever.
After the first run when I used the brake I decided not to brake at all on the second run, this was ok until I reached the fastest part when I managed to reach the top of the banking on one corner leading to me coming to a sudden stop.I jumped back on quickly and ignored the pain until I got back to the hotel and found I had a grazed arm and my shoulder was red raw and bleeding and I am now rather sore and stiff.
Maybe I should remember im not a teenager any more although it was actually rather good fun.

woohoo - out of cast again!

type 1 fracture of radial head means i'll be tool weilding within 2 weeks...well maybe not tools weilding, but ill be able have 80% back.

3-4 months till its 100%, and i may loose a few degrees extension of the elbow - all in all, not too bad.

could string it out with work, but im bored already so may go back later this week if i feel up to the drive to manchester from liverpool.

You will do anything not to get out in the kit car, lol, hope its not too sore mate
