Sprained an ankle once. The only other serious injury I got was on the way home from the store with a backpack full of food. Tore cartilage in my left wrist, hasn't been the same since then.

I worry about peg wheelies when you reach over the bars to go into a dump truck. I just imagine falling fwd w my hands/arms over the bars..yikes...I've sprained ankles, think I have tendonitis in my wrists and f'd myself up bad on a backyard (hit head on concrete lol) and a lawnmower (lol feel backwards)

Holy sht yall, yeah the injuries suck!!!!

Recently while learning double turbine cliffhangers, I got lost and my spine landed right smack on top of my peg. Still sore a month later but a few visits to the chiropractor are paying off.

Needless to say, I am turbining my cliffs like crazy now.

1) Pissed blood after a cliffhanger fail.
2) Woke up in the middle of an empty parking lot with a bloody chin.  Don't remember what I did.
