Glad he's relatively ok and keen to get back on the bike already.

My 12yo had a crash yesterday evening - he landed on his head at speed following a downhill jump when a branch got caught in his wheel. Cue ambulance, body board and the rest.

Thanks to @Richard A Thackeray who was on hospital duty at the time. We'll have to meet up properly Richard rather than me being a concerned parent when we spoke.

The helmet's smashed and the newly-built cross bike looks a mess but he's ended up with just cuts and bruises.
Very sorry to hear that. Best wishes for a speedy recovery for him

Sorry, I totally missed this post. Must have been really frightening for you both, so glad he is already up and running again.

Brave if you also to mention the "H" word. I have to admit it was probably one of the first three things that struck me about your posts.

Best wishes .

The bin lids do have their place at times. Judging by the two smashed helmets ive had. Shame a couldn't get a shoulder helmet.

Certainly have their uses when you are pushing it and an essential for real off road cycling.

Must have been a pretty scary moment for both of you @DCLane; glad he's not too badly bashed-up, and him and the bike will be back in action again soon. :okay:

Cheers,
Shaun :biggrin:
