    Well, today i went out for a ride..... Everything was going good...I
    found a long 4 set and was jumping it....Then i started crankflipping
    it....Well I had all my knee pads and shin guards on but i flipped it
    and when i landed i hit the side of my knee on my Onza trials frame.

    It hurt pretty bad and all i could see was blood...I hopped around for a
    few seconds trying to ease the pain. I figured i could still ride but i
    wanted to wipe off the blood. So i took my pads off and to my suprise
    there was a extremely large gash.... I knew right off i would have to
    get stiches.

    I called my mom,(luckily i had my cell phone) and she was about a mile
    away.... She came and got me and we loaded up in the car and took me too
    the emergency room. We were there for about 1 and 1/2 hours until they
    actually did something other than just wrap it.

    When they finally came in they put 7 staples in it....So now im out for
    at least 3 weeks riding. I guess thats what happens when you ride
    street.

    Kelly.

    P.S. Pics of the staples will be up soon....I didn't get vid of it or
    pictures before the staples. Sorry.

    man.. that sux

    how did a frame do that? was it missing the little caps on the ends of
    the fork legs, making it cut you?
    or was it just a freak accident?
    that's weird

    i don't see how those fork legs could cut you unless they were
    thin-walled, sharp, and missing the caps on top

    No the cap wasn't missing....I guess it was just freak accident.

    Thanks chosen.....it wasn't that bad...i thought i could ride some more
    until i saw the gash....the worst part was the staples....Either that or
    not being able to ride for around 3 weeks.

    but evan. it was on his KNEE. you can't uni when your knee is split
    open. the knee is a joint and when you move the skin stretches or
    slacks. Depending on when he unis, it might tear out the staples. this
    also depends on the depth of the gash. if it was deep, it'd take longer
    to heal.

    Mine was about an half an inch deep and it was directly above the ankle,
    plenty of flex on the skin there.

    Well lets just say you could see the bone.....But then again, on the
    side of the knee there isn't much cushion between the bone and skin.
