I didn't stand still long enough for them to get photos of the gravel rash on my hands, left arm, shoulder and hip after this one was taken. So sadly those didn't happen obviously. :P

i had to ride home about 5 miles like that... i was in agony :shock:

Bignige

Scars, scabs, scuffs.....all accepted, no sticking out bones tho'.. may well gag!!

Damn, wish I'd taken a picture of myself when I broke my collarbone! Massive gouge in knee, large friction burn on elbow, swollen hip with another friction burn, a bruise the size of my face where I'd broken my poor clavicle...

This is what happens when your front tyre punctures doing 30mph:

Sustained at like 5mph down a set of stairs :roll: and for some reason my knee now has lumps in it oh well im pretty fortunate by the looks of everyone elses pictures

I'm gonna try and find the picture of the gash i gave my shin, I had just got off the bike, slipped on mud and fell on it, Thought nothing of it, just a small bit of blood when i looked about half an hour later. Cleaned it out at home and it was much deeper than i thought, took forkin ages to heal and now i have a scar

Some excellant scrapes here. Weescott Thats some pretty impressive skin removal. Must have stung like fook. The deep ones don't quite seem to hurt as much straight away.

hah i guess mine scarred but not in a traditional sense on my arm theres a patch of standard scarring and a small bit that looks like ashy skin and my knee had turned purplish but amazingly you can still see the grooves of where the stones went

this is what happens when you fall off the stainburn northshore and the crank decides it wants to bite you!
