I showed my cousin a who doesn't BMX, skateboard or do any extreme sport apart from a bit of skiing a scooter video and the first thing he said was "well that's gay". He then also pointed out that they're also gay in the year 2015. Check the first 20 seconds of this classic movie clip.

On the subject of heinous bike injuries... this is cool to see from Chris Akrigg. The video is a little too slick, but I'm loving the Aga and that dog looks like a badass.

Found this by accident. Probably better left unseen.
Product video hosted by Robin, probably when he was Nobin, feat. Fleetscene.

Quality product this.

Far too much front wheel action for my liking, but the last clip is too good. I think Haggler did it about 7 years ago?

2 Minute list off the top of my head of riders that have broken their ACLs. Not preaching at all, but if you choose to do some quick exercises every once in a while to keep your legs strong its probably not a bad idea! - Better yet if you goto a gym put some work in getting quads & hamstrings that a silverback gorilla would be proud of (hamstrings especially).

Its just over 6 months since I had the op and almost a year since I tore it. The op incidentally, is a hell of a lot worse getting back to normal than getting back to normal after actually rupturing it.

The videos below show what happens when it goes, (one option of) repairing it and exercises you can do to keep that area strong. There is no doubt in my mind that sitting at a desk and riding less often due to winter meant that my leg muscles weren't as strong as they could've been and therefore were less able to prevent it.

Yeah, sorry to write all that junk but it really does suck to lose a year+ of having a body that works properly.

Posting this from Prettyshady due to the Edgworth / Brooks content, and also because Aliano's trails were legendary, and are now no more. Too many legends have gone through these lines for 15 years... and one day I will have a garden that looks something like this.

Bowl to be a Trail 8-10 June, 2012. Just saying.
