hi all here is a pic of my brothers off.
well it was a text book face plant.
he was riding down a set of stairs and pulled the front brake instead of the back one.
it's looks bad he is alot better now he's been cleaned up.

and is he did break his nose.

    Holy Sh*t, wasn't expecting a photo as horrific as that!

    He looks like an extra from 28 Days Later in that first pic!

    Glad to hear he's on the mend :D

    So I take it he wasn't wearing one?........ No offence but what a muppet. Still, hope he gets better.

    He looks old enough to know better.

    Wouldn't like to see what he looked like before he got to hospital.

    On a slightly lighter note - got those pics into a couple of the mags, Im sure he might win something (like a helmet or protection!!)

    Hope he's better soon.

    (And yes he's a muppet for not wearing a helmet!) - Although I guess he now knows that! ouch!
