Okay you guys, I ride mountain bikes for my cross training since I can't exactly ski in my neighborhood (Los Angeles). I am getting into racing downhill bikes, and it's lots of fun. And now, I went and got myself hurt, 14 stitches, 12 on the outside, and 2 on the inside to stitch up the torn muscle. This happened because of a severe pedal smack, and now I always wear shin gaurds...
