That's the name of the game

Hi, my name is Rowdy. I'm my own action figure.
Earlier this year, I posted about all the bones I have had broken. Not the ones I broke on other people, because that would be a boringly short list.
When D was fist getting into mountain biking I told her that my mountain bike had hurt me more than motorcycles, rock climbing or jiu jitsu. Well, the past few years I have not been riding my mountain bike with that kind of frequency or aggression. If I was, it would continue to bite me, hard.

HARD. Like the hard elbow I took to the bridge of my nose today in jiu jitsu. Probably not broken, if it is it's a very clean break.

The scorecard reads like this
Motorcycles
scrapes
bruises
wind knocked out

Jiu Jitsu
?broken nose?
serious mat burn X2
broken toes X5
broken RT radial head (right elbow)
concusion
bloody nose or two

Mountain Biking
broken right wrist X2
seperated right shoulder
3 serious skin abrasions that scarred
puncture wound chest
numerous cuts, scrapes and bruises

So, if I was out hardcore riding my mountain bike like I used to, it would still be in the lead. The supposedly most dangerous thing,motorcycles, that I have been doing longer than any other of my hobbies, has injured me the very least!! Looks like jiu jitsu has taken the lead.

  1. I happen to know the medical term for bloody nose is epistaxis. Are you proud of me?
