Not really an injury but I was riding like an hour ago and I was doing a wheelie on my V and I hit a big bump and when I the front end slammed down, my right leg jerked down and scraped the tire. Now I have a mixture of tire treads and bloody spots on my leg. Think its time to go get some nerfs now...

Concusion, no memory for 36 hrs. Night in the hospital. That was the worst so far. I has been 9 months with no serious wipe outs, by serious I mean hospital time.

Well i don't feel like the only one getting hurt anymore, although i bet its rare to almost get killed being a spectator - lol... kinda sucks though because its gonna be a few more months before i can ride again.

i just realized i never explained how it happend , well here goes - me and my brother were checking out the ride area after they built some new jumps after awhile we decided to take a break and watch some of the dirt bikers doing some tricks off the bigger jumps they had put in , and i gotta say it was an sick show untill one of them decided to ghost ride his bike over the jump , needless to say me and my brother were sitting on our quads off the side of the track about 20-25ft or so and right in the direction the bike decided to go i seen it cart wheeling towards us and my brother & i trying to get off my quad and out of the way when it came sailing right into me knocking me off my quad disclocating my shoulder and tearing my rotator cuff about 3/4 the way off also splitting my shin right below my knee cap and leaving me with a nasty concusion , my brother also got hit with the front fork leaving him with a cuncusion and 14 staples in his head. not to mention the damage to my yfz which absorbed a good amount of the impact . the only thing i can remember after getting hit was the ambulance ride - bad luck i guess there were a few people also standing near us watching that were also close to getting hit with the bike but didn't luckily for them i was the first one in the way from the direction the bike came . i will have some x-rays up soon as i get the disc back. can't say it was fun and the owner of the bike is looking at a lawsuit because the owner of the land had him charged for reckless endangerment. but thats what happend and its now gonna cost me 4-6 months of my spring / summer riding time .
