12 stitches later

[aranka]

so it turns out that riding a ski with new footholds and very little turf hurts like he!!. I ended up landing a big air on my shins because my feet slipped out of the holds. thought for sure my legs were broken but it turns out that you don’t need x-rays if you can see a 4 by 2 inch section of it. see attached.
thanks to island750 for taking me to the e.r. where we told the nurses that we were filming jackass 3. ha ha.

 

[sflsurfrider]

wow, nice legvaj!

 

[Bonzia Bob]

OUCH...........Thats gonna scar!

 

[chart102]

my friend has a smaller version of that split on his chin from riding my ski. hes an idiot. he screwed all my other friends out of a chance to ride it too. (the ones who have never skied before)

I did the same thing on my shin about 15 years ago on my old 550. 18 stitches if I remember right. I went huge off of a boat wake and I landed on my shins on the back of the tray. Same thing... I thought for sure I broke my leg. The doctor who stiched it up said my wetsuit probably absorbed enough of the impact so it didn't break it.

You ride the Detroit River??


Mike

 

[Island750]

Yep riding in the river. The best part was I was by my car and I hear something to the effect" Oh ********, come here quick!" I peeled the wetsuit off and that's what I saw. Thankfully he was wearing the wetsuit, I think the pressure helped control the bleeding. It hardly bled at all. The wetsuit definately kept it from being way worse.

Nothing like spending the afternoon in the ER and explaining the injury to the staff. Something like .....dare, 4" lead pipe, didn't flinch, here we are. They were NOT amused.:Banane01:

He'll heal up good and we'll be in the water again soon.:woot:

 

[yamaslut]

Holy ********.... I swear to god, I thought that was my leg and you were playing a joke... I have that exact freaking rip in my leg... I will post the pics tomorow... that is totally insane...

:crutches: :crutches: :crutches:

Leg-gina is what we call mine....

 

[D Slicker]

"oh thats gonna leave a mark" tommy boy

 

[aranka]

[SJ13]

Same here... I'm surprised I haven't seen you. I don't get to ride as much as I want but when I do we launch at Lake Erie MetroPark. I ride with Ken (nemoskii) and that crew.

[Snackem]

Ouch that sucks I've gotten teeth knocked out, several bloody noses and a couple of black eyes but never anything like that. . . OUCH!!!!

 

[Watty]

Haha, this must be a common one. I did exactly the same thing years ago. 16 stiches outside, and another 10 inside. It's wierd being able to feel your bone with your finger! It's strange, you expect your bone to have some feeling when you touch it, but it don't!

 

[aranka]

mike91, i dont know if i'll ride this weekend but we should meet up for a end o year ride

 

[Island750]

I'm up for an end o year. As long as we don't have to make an ER run.......Again.

I still have fuel I have to burn

 

[WAB]

Yeah, those suck. When it's heaning you can't bend your leg much or it feels like it will pop open again.
I had an identical one also on the left shin, but decided not to get stiches. Just kept it pulled shut and kept it clean. We had a 2.5 hr ride back to GA also. :banghead: I even had a wetsuit on at the time. I have pics, but looks just like yours.
Makes for a great scar! :Banane01: :biggthumpup:

Heard about this bro Ouch, was this from a long rideplate or something? Heal it up and get ready for the new arrival.

 

[mikem91]

Aranka & Island 750 -

I'm up for at least one more end of the year ride. I have a bunch of fuel I'd like to burn before winter too.

This weekend probably won't be good unless we go out later (after 2:00pm). Send me an e-mail if you want mikem91@charter.net and we'll work something out.

Later, Mike
