Knee's doing good. I'm having my tattoo artist draw up some ink to put around it.

2002shee....i seen a guy have a zipper tattooed around a scar similar to that one. scar tissue has a very very hard time taking ink, usually has to be redone a few times to take right. the zipper around the edges of it actually looked neat as hell...considering there was a scar "in/behind" the zippered part

Yea I'm not trying to hide the scar just accent it. As you can see it's a pretty big scar so I'm going to go with the Stihl logo and maybe a chainsaw blade wrapped around it. I'm not too sure yet.

how deep did that go?

It all started at the tender age of 5.

riding my z50 accross the lawn and looking back at my roost i almost got decapitated by the hay forks on our tractor.... took 20 stitches across my forehead to fix that.

at 9 i was flying across a field in our oddessy and the seat belt was to big for me.... i hit an irrigation ditch and would usually jump right over it however this time i caught it wrong and rolled the bitch... ejected my ass right into a barbed wire fence... 50 or so stitches in various locations and broke the shit out of my left femur and right fore arm.

at 14 i was screwing around on an old trail 110 motorcycle.... jumping shit and i tried riding it in a skate board half pipe.... i had on a helmut this time but the end of the hanldle bar came through the face hole and cracked my eye socket and busted the shit outa my nose...

two years ago i killed a jump on my shee like a 40 footers... landed perfect and smooth and then like chris(banshee370) at silver lake last year the bottom of the ball socket on the front left a-arm popped off and i stopped right there... i smashed down on the handle bars with my chest and broke 4 ribs and both thumbs and as it endoed on me the frickin foot peg took a chunk of skin off my inner thigh right next to my crotch luggage... i thank god it didn't take off my dick.

last injury was more of a pain killer fix and some ice on the balls.... i had the trike come back over on me and the gas cap almost ruptured one of my nuts... they thretened to take it from me if the swelling didn't go down... i said you will have to pry from my cold dead hands.

I was never accused of being the smartest kid on the block that is for sure.

a couple years ago me and my brother hit head on each ridin dirt bikes. I was coastin down this big steep hill climb in the woods and I didnt know he was comin up at the same time, and we couldnt make up are minds quick enough which ruts to get in to pass cause we was both rollin on pretty good. we ended up crashing head on and I broke my collar bone, nothin happened to my brother though

then last year on janurary 5th I ran right though a barb wire fense on the banshee in about 3rd gear. I was ridin that evenin after work and it was gettin close to dark and I was goin though the trails pretty quick and I come up into this field to go through this gap in a fense row. well it turned out that gap had been closed with 3 strands of barb wire cause a guy we rented this field to was puttin some horses in it. I knew he was gonna put the fense up, just didnt know when he was and nobody told me that it was up so I had no idea it was. I was headin right for the gap like it wasnt even there about when I got about 15 to 20 foot from it I just then seen the wire but it was too late to. I caught the top wire in the throat and the banshee broke on through the rest. it closelined me off the back end, and I remember hittin the ground hard and laying there in a numb like daze for a few seconds then trying to get up but couldnt breath.it was a nite mare pulling my helmet off and then it took me about 10 seconds before I could catch my breath and then I felt my throat and I could feel air coming out of it! I was like holy fuckin shit and I knew right then that I couldnt screw around and I needed to get home as soon as possible. where it happened at there was a road right beside the field and it was about a half mile back to my house. so I got back on the banshee rode quickly but carefuly back home and my parents were home luckly and they rushed me to the hospital.

it ended up cutting, or I should say crushing, my wind pipe completly in two. I say crushing cause there was hardly any bleeding at all when it happend, if it had cut my throat then I most likely would have bleed to death on the spot. it was just a big long clean gash all the way accross the front of my throat. the doctors did a trachostomy and then I was life flighted to a bigger hospital in louisville, ky. I was there for two weeks before I was all sowed and fixed up and ready to go home. and I still have the trach in my throat today cause its the only way I can breath. and it also paralized my vocal chords cause it damaged the nerves that controls them or something. so I dont have a voice but I can talk at like a real low wisper only. but Im suspose to have a surgery next month where they are gonna go in and cut out the part of my trachea (windpipe) where they originaly repaired it the first time cause its full of scar tissue and its not a very big air way for me to breath through normally. and if it all works ok then they will be able to take my trach out and sow up the little hole thats left in my throat
