Bootleg: Before and After Pics (of my face)

As per Allision's request, here's some pics of my mangled face.

One week before Bootleg:



2 Days after Bootleg:




10 Stitches:




Outline of sunglasses imprinted on my face; Smith Optics saved my eye:

 

You weren't getting any prettier anyway right?

 

Ouch! Sorry to hear about the fall.

 

It makes you look tough. Time to make up a better story about how it happened. That story should start out, "I was at a bar..."

 

dayam! Heal up quick.

 

Although I think scarring will be minimal, at least you got it doing something cool. And a scar tied to good story is always cool! :bang:

 

scars are cool. When they ask you how you got it tell them you were in prison and some guys tried to gang rape but you fought them off and that was how you got the scar.

 

I can't tell if your joking or not.

Hopefully it doesn't look like I had cleft pallet! I think it's going to heal up fine though. Thanks for grabbing my bike by the way.

EC: "Is it bad?!?"
Fired Yo Mama: "YEAH, its bad!!!"

 

Its a good thing you didn't ride back otherwise your upper lip would have been flapping in the wind.

 

That should earn you some street cred points. Heal up fast!

 

Damn, eh. Bootleg worked you good. Good thing you had those glasses on since it it looks like you went face first. On the bright side . . . you're still able to work and see! Heal up quick.

 

Did yo have a good time before bootleg bit your lip?
That place also bit Willie on the palm. It is a place that is not forgiving at all.
If I knew you where not going to be wearing a full face I would have made you wear one of mine. I take my bell helmet med with me also. Anyone would have had a little trouble on the 28 foot road gap ya know.
Well I hope you heal up quick.

 

remember: chicks dig scars.

 

Unfourtunatly, I live with my girlfirend of 4 years who:

1) Is a lawyer and grew up in NYC; i.e. she's not very sympathetic when its comes to stupidity.

2) Told me at least 50 times I should wear my full face helmet, and not be a tough guy (the stupidity part).
​

In other words, my chick is not digging the scars, and does not feel very sorry for me.

 

Dude, I feel sorry for you. You came out to Bootleg got hurt then went home. That sucks oh well.

 

First of all, it was freaking WARM on Saturday. I wouldn't have worn a FF helmet for Skyline or below either. Breathing and air is important also.

It was an accident, it happens, especially in a sport like mountain biking.

Good thing is you don't have any broken bones and should be out riding soon. Just take care of the stitches and no worries. Your teeth are in tact, so you're good to go.

 

A little beets should get you feeling a litte better meow.

 

yea

"I was at a bar and starting talking smack to an Angel fan" When I woke up......:lol:

 

Its true, it coud've been alot worse. The bottom line is though, I should have put my facial safety ahead of my pride and worn the full face in my garage.

BTW, its pretty funny that I finnally showed up for a big STR Ride, and ended up leaving before I met a lot of people.

 

Well, as has been said already--it could've been much worse. No broken bones and no broken teeth at least!! I'm glad you're OK.

Note to self, if I ever ride Bootleg, bring full face helmet.
