    This evening, in semi-darkness, I missed the pedal coming down from a no-footed air out of a half
    pipe. I thought I'd capture the aftermath for everyone's pleasure 🙂

    It's not very clear, but if you look closely, next to the 'P' on the pedals, you can see bits of my
    shin, and there are leg hairs on the pins. j-harris.netP1010006.JPG

    And this is the state of my leg (warning: welders goggles may be required to screen you from the
    whiteness of my legs): j-harris.netp1010001.JPG

    How'd you find floorboards light enough to match your skintone?!?

    Did you cry?

    Are you still crying?

    If anything is going to make me cry, that is it. I think I did it that bad once or twice in
    my youth...

    I think I cried the entire time between occurences.

    Hehe. At least you were using these:
    webcyclery.comproduct detail.html

    Just ordered a pair of SIXSIXONE 4x4 shin guards. Not the Shinburger pedals though.

    *Barfs all over the place after watching video*

    Can't stand that medical room [censored], when i get a gash i put some paper towels on it and tape it
    on (duct tape is not a good idea) Now that I just watched that i'm going to bed to have nightmares
    of people inserting needles into my open wounds.

    Did you cry?

    Surprisingly, it didn't actually hurt that much. Sure, I got off the bike and marched around a bit.
    And the German kids learnt some new English words 🙂 But after that it wasn't too bad. I put it down
    to the fact that I've been beating my shins like this for well over ten years now and I reckon I'm
    either really used to it, or a load of the nerve endings are dead.

    No, but my leg's still weeping...

    s'true, sometimes a fair whack in the shins gets the adrenalin going and you can actually ride
    better. In your case though bomba, it looks like you took it a bit too far - ouch. Did you manage
    to ride out of it? or are you too scared to show us the picture of your face after it piled into
    the floor..

    BTW Has anyone else noticed that scar tissue doesn't tan?

    Yup. Much better than the last time which involved a handrail...

    WTF!!!??? - _Is that it_?!?

    You fecking wuss - I've seen more painful and scarier looking milk spillages. Last time I did that
    to my shin, it took me a week to find out, and then only 'cos someone else pointed it out to me. In
    fact, I can't even believe you have so little shame as to post pictures of that scratch here.

    Shaun aRe sooooo not impressed.

    Yep, I think we can all say thats a familiar site. I think next time I get a real bad shin bite, I
    will post it. The closest I got to a real bad fall latley was at a park, I fell so hard I actually
    cracked my knee pad...time to put some rivets in it...

    I think it is because there is no pigment in the tissue because of the trauma, i have this line on
    my arm that u can see bright as day even when i'm sporting my redneck style tan.

    I love that Doctor: "...kinda tack it down best we can..." "You're young and healthy, things'll
    probably work out OK" "...even then there's no guarantee..."

    The needles are OK. The stitching is OK. But the bit where he rubs hard it to get the [censored] out just
    makes me cringe... I hate little trees.
