untill today.

that is my pal miles who is standing roughley where i came a cropper earleyer. baisically i wanted to re learn pocket airs which is where you transfer on the ramp 90 degrees. i aired out the top of this corner (to the right of miles an traveling to the left) got around the 90 degees but my back wheel got caught on the coping..... the result was me falling around 10ft on to my wrists an my bike coming crashing down next to me. driving home was interesting and im now typing with 1 finger because i can not articulate the others and my right hand is on an ice pack

now again the question,

should i bother with A&E?

nothing is swolen i just cant move ze fingers without pain and i cant lift stuff, i am 90% sure nothing is broken but im rubbish with this stuff. would like to adopt the better safe than sorry rule but dont want to go to addenbrooks and nothing to be wrong and look like a plonker.

your thoughts please?

Would also recommed finding your local judo/ju-jitsu club and learning how to land when you fall, hurts much less and looks more spectacular!!!

Hope your get some air time again soon. :afro:
