I thought I share a story with fellow rides to ensure none of you make the same mistake I've made.

A while ago I had a violent stack with the associated damage to myself such as concussion, torn ligaments, bone crack, bruising, torn calf etc. We all know this can happen when you stack and that is part of the thrill of MTB.

Treating the injuries when we get home is perhaps something not everyone is clued up on, I certianly was now. I think most people know to put ice on the injury, rise it, put a bandage on it and rest. And that is exactly what I did.
