So today, I went to the local BMX track and decided to try it out (I had never been on it). My buddy had a mountain bike (I had already tried it a couple times on a BMX bike) and I decided to give it a go on that. I went over a jump and thought "Hey, this is sort of bouncy. I'll try to get some real air on the next one." So I did. I totally racked my balls. It was pretty funny just because I was like "Sweet! ...shit!" Yeah, BMX, rollerblading, skateboarding, walking swiftly--not my kinds of activities.

If it was a full suspension, you can launch so hard off a BMX track that it's really not safe. The bike is so big and so heavy that you have to man handle it to make sure you're coming down on the landing ramp. I raced bmx up until about three years ago when I go in an accident that almost cost me my life. After that I decided that I would stick to the less dangerous, just as fun stuff. Still race bikes though, race a thing called cyclocross. It's a mix between road racing and mountain biking, and requires you to be fast not only on the bike, but getting on/off as well as running. I also race road and mountain, but my main discipline is 'Cross. Sucks about your balls dude, I used to do that every now and then, but it was generally on the rear tire. Also, look out for those pedals, they'll kill you if you aren't used to running your shins down them.

Sounds like my uncle. He raced motocross until he fell wrong and broke his leg in like 4 places. My aunt chewed him out so bad... but yeah, totally sucks to hear that. But I'm sure power walking is a healthier (and less injury-prone) activity?

Me and christy played hockey last night in the basement on blades. I got muffed. the floor had dust on it and I was trying to rail while I turned and went in to the nice, unpadded concrete wall. I should do something about that...

Football... well, ok, I don't get injured. But I concussed one person this year, twisted two other ankles, and recently found out I was responsible for this one kid who got sent to the hospital. (Joint soccer team with their school, so I found out that way.) So yeah... I just inflict 'em. However, I've managed to hurt myself in track if that counts. Don't even ask how.

I spiked myself right in a blood vein on my ancle in track while doing high jump...I didn't even notice until somebody told me blood was squirting out every time I took a step. So you aren't alone there. I'd honestly rather have that than get hit in the balls though because it wasn't painful so that sucks balls for you Lucifer.

I wasn't even wearing spikes at the time. See my reply to Luci below for the full story. However, I've managed to hurt myself in track if that counts. Don't even ask how. How? I've pretty much partially pulled a groin muscle (if that's possible) throwing shotput. It's because of the explosion movement, and apparently I wasn't fully stretched... but hey, it got me a personal best. So, who cares? (Ironically, shortly after said injury my 100m time dropped a total of .4s and my 200m dropped close to 1s... Groin injuries = good? And by shortly after, I mean the next 3 meets.) So yeah, I injured myself in track and have only like twisted my ankle in football. (I'm consist on that... twice every year! Despite tape!)

Perhaps the tearing of the groin muscle strengthened it in the way that tearing in your biceps as a result of doing bench presses makes it stronger, thus resulting in a faster time.

Luci, how many times have I told you to leave the physical activities to Chris? Pssh.

Maybe... but wouldn't it have to fully heal first? It probably just takes a day or two, but I have no idea. You may just be uber awesome at life.
