So I was organizing some old parts in my garage yesterday and I was wearing flip flops. I went to go lift up a milk crate and the crate snagged my big toe nail on my left foot. I lifted and ripped my big toe nail practically half off. It started bleeding immediatly. Needless to say I'll be taking it easy for the next couple of days. I'll be riding by this weekend though.... I hope.

This happend to me, I was at a race track, and before the races i was waring my flip flops, I snagged my toe on an old metal stake/pipe sticking up out of the ground.

Long story short, I lost the nail, had to wait over a year to grow it all the way back to normal.

I do have pictures, but they are kinda ********ty because they were taken with my phone, and this was at night once I got home.


Anyhow, on with the pics....:

That good enough for you? you can see how white/blue that nail is, its not holding onto anything. The little part that was holding on felt sooooooooo funky when you pulled it out.

Anyhow, my nail is all better now.. WHOOT
