    Yesterday my brother and I went riding at El Moro in the attempts to hit a un-named technical trail. What a fun trail! but it got the best of me.I was pretty far down there and came across a really tight rock drop section that had a hard line. I came down the drop almost went otb but controlled the bike, unfortunately i maneuvered in such a way that absolutely jacked my finger, I came down the drop turned the wheel, which smashed my finger on the right side rock between the rock and my grip! I literally popped my finger, no more nail, three stitches where it used to be, and i shattered the tip of my right hand ring finger!! Freaking hurtttt!! heres a pic of the injury:bang:

    Damn! I went through that as a bike messenger. I was jamming down Figueroa St in downtown L A, in the second lane of traffic, when a car door popped open in front of me. BANG!! Went my finger into the window riser. OFF! Came the fingernail of my index finger!!
    It hurt so bad, that immediately after cursing out the woman who doored me, I walked to the curb and puked my guts out.
    The pain of instantly losing a nail is excruciating, and I have broken several bones.
    Humerus, metatarsals, ankle, nose...he heh...
