Mick's Big Crash (Pics)

Details are sketchy about what caused the accident and what exactly happened but apparently Mick hit a tyre which sent him highside then skidding down the track before smashing through the tyre wall. Mick immediately let out a big "Wooo!" and went to stand...and then the pain set in. Stumbling he reached the fence and took a seat and then we realised the seriousness of it all, he managed to walk himself back to his pit area and everyone gave him a hand with his gear and bike. By this point Mick was clearly in agony and was reluctant to get his leathers off for fear of what might lie underneath. Still not sure what the injury was but here's a photo of his leg at the track, it was three times this size by the time he left hospital.

Oh deary what have we done here...

The ambos gave him the happy stick and Mick was a happy fellow after that

Okay so Mick is as high as a kite by now and figures he can just float on to the stretcher.

ooh i have his phone number i'll give him a call and find out what the doctors said.

From what i've been told is he come hooking up the straight droped his knee to take the corner and cliped a tyre. After that it was skygroundskyground GROUND!

Those pictures don't do it justice, the welt on his thy was HUGE. Fingers crossed he's ok, he looks fine.hhehehe
