Okay you guys, I ride mountain bikes for my cross training since I can't exactly ski in my neighborhood (Los Angeles). I am getting into racing downhill bikes, and it's lots of fun. And now, I went and got myself hurt, 14 stitches, 12 on the outside, and 2 on the inside to stitch up the torn muscle. This happened because of a severe pedal smack, and now I always wear shin gaurds...

Before stitches:

After stitches:

 
that happened to me when i used to bmx, LONG time ago, I never got stitches and I have this wicked weird scar on my shin now.
 
back like when i was 15 I was riding my Schwinn Badlands edition around in a dirt area. well it doesnt have the gear/chain guard on the front.

so yeah my foot slipped off the pedel and my calf went right into the front gear. It punched 7-8 holes in my calf/lower leg. they went as deep as the teeth of the gear. grease and shit got in there it was nasty. couldnt walk and just fell down cuz it punctured the muscle.

I can squeeze my calf and still see the holes where they healed.
