- This will be the last ride for a while.
Whilst attempting (poorly) to go over a log, my foot slipped between the trunk and the branch, and with the forward momentum, I just about snapped my knee as my leg was stuck and the fulcrum point being my knee on the trunk.
I am not sure how past straight it went but I thought that I had blown my knee and I was very worried that once I had fallen back between the trunk and the branch that my leg would have been disconnected at the knee. A very painful ride home and now to wait a few days to see if it is a hospital visit.
I'm glad you didn't end up with an emu knee!
That scream, ouch. Rest up bud. This makes me consider knee braces even more now.
I am normally conscious of where I put my put to make sure this doesn't happen but this ride, I wasn't paying attention enough.
I tried a mate's pair of braces on yesterday just to see what kind of added protection they provide. I don't know if he's set added anymore protection and I am not too sure, but maybe a different brand would be better.
I don't know if the brace would've stopped the injury at high speed but may have helped with this low speed event.
It's a week since doing this and at least I can walk, but it aches like anything still and I dare not do too much on it at the moment.
I am still in two minds as to whether to make the purchase or not. I'll see how the knee goes, hahahah.
I went to AMX and bought a set of braces for when i can start riding again.
Damn dude I squeezed my phone when you screamed, hope you recover quickly. For what's its worth start taking collogen powder, helps drastically for cartilage and tendon strength and repair
I’ll have a look for it.
Something from Woolworths or something?
Not sure if you can get it from supermarkets, I'm from Australia and get it from a company called bulk nutrients Australia, it's called HCP

I’m in perth, WA.
The scream gets me everytime 🤣
I can’t watch the last bit anymore.
I will go look for some knee braces i think.
I’ve never had an accident like this before but i don’t want it again.
