lmao, true..

was wearing helm, gloves, jacked, boots, and jeans..

was doing about 40 or so..

bike laid down on left side, stayed with it for a sec and decided to let go.. slid on my back for about 10 yards and something caught and flipped me into the air and when i came down i hit on all fours (knee being first thing)..
long story short.. couldnt walk for a month and a 1/2... it SUCKED and HUUUUUURT... thats the 2n most painful thing ive had happen to me..

it was luck that i didnt get injured worse.... helmet didnt have a scratch on, leather gloves were shredded jacked looked good.. pants....... hahahahaha...

yea was thankful that was it...

the way the doctor explained it was it just burned the skin away off my knee.. i had a hole about the size of a golf ball.. he couldnt numb the whole thing while stitching it up because it was dead skin but i could still feel it, go figure... also while he was trying to stitch it up it was just tearing the skin because it was so gooey and stuff... it looked like chicken liver but not as firm.. lmao
