phreeloader 0 #1 June 25, 2013 Wrecked my motorcycle today (all by myself, purely target fixation) but just happened to wreck between chuting star and skydive Deland... had several skydivers stop to check on me, and after i realized i screwed up my knee and couldn't stand, a jumper named Mike brought me an icepack from the perfect spot, and even pushed my motorcycle up to the DZ parking lot (in 90°+ heat no less).. turns out i didn't break or dislocate anything, but tore the Meniscus in my knee.. can't stand on it at all today, but the ER doc says i should be healed enough to jump in a few weeks .. so that, and the damage to my bike sucks.. But i couldn't have picked a better place to wreck, Thanks everyone who stopped to check on me!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 June 25, 2013 Glad you're ok, once you're fixed up go take an MSF course...then take the advanced course. http://youtu.be/zhS71HIJj-w--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phreeloader 0 #3 June 25, 2013 i've taken the MSF, but to be honest i'm just not "current" i hadn't ridden in over a year... The real pisser is that only reason I had it out of the garage was to go wash it, and make it pretty so i could sell it. I need a farm truck more than I need a bike right now... but after i got it all pretty i slid it thru the dirt and put a big fat dent in the tank... very frustrated about that part Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like canopy control courses, it doesn't hurt to take more than one!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

ryoder 1,590 #5 June 25, 2013 Last week I was in a MSF course. A woman accidentally locked the front wheel doing a quick stop. The front wheel went sideways, the bike started going over, but she stopped it from falling...and messed up her knee. She insisted on staying to watch the rest of the class, but it was nearly impossible for her to walk at the end of the day. I assume she has gone to the doctor by now.
