Going through some supercross style whoops my cousin built on the track out in the pasture. Got out of control. Almost looped out. Came down straight legged into the face of one of them with the full weight of the dirtbike behind me. Could hardly walk. They loaded my bike up, I drove home. Called off work the next couple days. Went to the doc and requested an mri and they wouldn't do it. The doc looked at it, pulled on it and told me that if I had a torn ACL it would be dislocating. Thought I was being a puss so I went home and called off the rest of the week. Went back 8 months later and got an x ray, ct, and mri. I had partially torn lcl, mcl, ACL was gone. Torn meniscuis all the way around. Cartilage chipping and a compression fracture on my tib. Went in for surgery. Needless to say I was pretty PO'ed at the hospital and myself for not going to a different hospital in the beginning.

A friend and I were practicing at a local track when he fricked up. He had a KTM 250 and we were side by side on a rhythm section (multiple table tops in a row) where we were jumping top to top. The last one his foot came off the peg and and hit the ground in front of the peg...it caught and broke both bones in his lower leg. I was next to him and heard them break
