Who gets injured in this sport with all the protective gear already available? Just knot up your skirt so it doesn't get caught in the chain and pedal.
Hey now, the hole in my sternum matches up perfectly with the topcap on my stem, an so happens to match perfectly with the hole in the chest plate on my armor........

No, seriously. Bighitr started a thread talking about how he'd seen some guy who was hurt on the side of the trail and then left him there. Turned out the hurt guy was mattmatt, and he almost died.
I remember that...

Quite a thread...

Deleted rather quickly. Apparently my buddy that spent 6 hours in the hospital with me and drove me around in scrubs all drugged up to find a pharmacy chimed in later that night after he dropped me off at home. I passed out when as soon as I got in bed so I never got to see it before it got deleted. He called me the next morning to fill me in on the hilarity.

Apparently you were being quite inconsiderate by just laying on the trail bleeding instead of getting out of BigHitr's way.

That thread was something else...... We had already slammed Hitr for it WAY before we knew it was a monkey he left behind....... Man someone restore that thread.... Just for a little while...

He was wearing knicks, maybe he was embarrassed to hang with a dude in Lycra?
