So hands up if you've come straight here to find out about my injury?

It went like this:

I was doing some front wheel stunts on a banking and feeling pretty good, I then decided to do a downside foot jam whip, I did it the BMX way which I'm a little more sketchy at and I ended up going over the bars...nothing unusual there, it happens all the time but for some reason when I tried to bail I ended up tripping on the bike which sent me face first on top of the bike.

I landed with my eyebrow on the bar-end which cut me and gave me my black eye. I didn't know how bad it was so decided to go to A&E to get it checked out. While I was waiting to be seen I noticed my jeans were wet with blood (they were black so it wasn't super obvious) and when I pulled them up to take a look I found a huge gash in my knee!

Turns out my eye wasn't serious at all but the doctors were fairly concerned with my knee as I had cut all the way through my flesh and partly through my ligament. They were considering whether I needed surgery but after lots of inspection decided stitching me up would be enough.

Oddly the knee cut never once hurt and even now I feel totally fine.

So frustrating after having month off due to shingles!

Injury aside, I hope you liked this video, it took quite a bit of editing but I'm happy with the outcome. Let me know if you agree with my points.
