broken jaw - now wired together
cut chin - 7 stiches
2 broken teeth - need crowns after my jaw is unwired.

it would've been ok if it all happened while i was trying something new but it happened because a kid dropped his scooter in front of me...

Saturday, stacked a tiny easy dirt jump, don't know how, don't know why it's just a freak accident.

  • Fractured forehead bone/plate
  • Fractured Sinuses/bones under sinuses
  • Knocked out most of the teeth on the left side of my face
  • A few more were left hanging from my braces
  • Lost a lot of skin on the left side of my face
  • Cut open my forehead/nose/lips
  • Sliced open inside of my cheeks, and inside of lips, practically minced meat
  • Cut open that flappy thing under your tongue, fuck me that hurts
  • Nearly broke my neck
  • Jarred neck/chest/shoulder area badly
  • Broke bone that holds all the top teeth on
  • Have permanently lost two teeth on the bottom, one in front, one just next to it
  • Probably killed nerves in lots of teeth
  • Had like 27 stitches in my face

Will add the other bits if I think of them. I'm devo'd. Had emergency surgery for hours.

I'm all fucked up. :(

Yeah.. :( And it wasn't even a decent jump or anything, I have no way of explaining what happened. All I know is I went way to far, somehow ended up with the bike practically inverted, and I landed on my face. Got knocked out but apparently I was semi concious, like I was pulling teeth out cause I thought they were dirt? Yeah I ended up with about a tennis ball's worth of dirt in my mouth, and tons in my eyes and nose and shit. I'm so lucky I can

  • Wiggle my Toes
  • Walk
  • Play guitar

My mate is an absolute champion, I owe him my life. He kept a calm head, got everyone who needed contacting in contact.


I'm so fucking over liquids. I can only just retain a proper mouthful of water today without my tongue searing and jerking and making me spit it out.

Man all I have is a couple of crappy phone pics of the face/skin damage, all the impressive stuff is either under the skin or in my mouth. And I can hardly open my mouth enough to take a picture yet.

Funny getting face-stitches out yesterday, the lady kept on finding new ones. The count was like 14 and she's like, " I think we're do- wait no there's another one.. and another.. and it just kept on going."


I had so much planned too. I was supposed to play at a concert with 10,000 people on sunday, but I was hospitalised, I can't fucking believe it. And I was meant to go to adelaide for this month as well but that's all fucked as well.

I want one of those baths from "Wanted."

wow after that story makes mine seems so tame. and sucks about not being able to play in that concert, 10,000 people is a big ass crowd

only had one serious injury so far. was trying to 180 out of this bank up unto this raised ledge/pathway thingo and i ballsed up the rotation so i wasn't going to make it, naturaly i throw the bike away but i land facing sideways and on the side of my left foot. so as i keep going my foot is being further and further rolled back and then pop! i dislocated my ankle, straining/pulling the ligament and such - no fun.
