Hello Endless
Over the last two years my only bike have been my kmx typhoon (recumbent trike) (electric conversion is going forward but in no way coplete yet) and i have put a couple of thousand km on it, so i was interested in something a little more offroad capability. So last sunday i bought myselfe a second hand mtb. Went out in the late evening on my first run, and absolutely loved it! Despite +4 degrees rain and wind. So the day after i took it out again, on a beautiful spring day.
On a sidenote my only ony mtb experience before this have been a couple of days on a borrowed bike, and of course messing around in the forest as a kid.
But back to the story, after about an hour i found myselfe in front of a steep downhill, quite short, smooth and covered with pine needles. So i tried to take it nice and slow down it... I did not end up taking it nice and easy... Nope it was the old clasic, over the handlebar and i ended up landing on my face :x
Exept i did not exactly land on my face among the relativly soft pine needles, i ended upp taking up the majority of the crash with my two front teeth och the only pice of rock there. If you have ever used a hammer on a hard rock like granit, you know the white dust and the smell of chrushed rock that comes. Yep i managed to creat that with my front teeth.
So there i was, alone in the forest sitting on all for being midly confused trying to locate my missing tooth. Noticed i was bleeding from my face but unsure on how much.(quite comical if you know that you are probebly looking like a bleeding madman while bikeing past a couple of daycare centers) :|
Getting home around 30 min after the crash scaring the gf taking a quick shower and walking away to the dentist. Getting there and of course the reception is not open
Going up to the first nurse coming to call in the next patient, and say with a smile, "i think i need some help" (quite effective way to get attention at a dentist).
But they sent me away to the emergency dental care clinic (ie they thought it was to bad for them to handle). Ended up getting a time at the 1.5 hours later, so there was enough time to go home and take a couple of pictures in the afternoon sun.
They ended up digging out some splinters from the shattered teeths and stabalizing a lose one. So now i am looking forward to more dental care and i best case senario a dental crown or two, and the worst case senario involves titanium bolts into my skull (Cyborg here i come), depending on how bad the cracks into the periodontal are.
The good news thou because i only turned 24 i am still a child from the veiwpoint of dentalcare here in Sweden so i have not payed a single öre yet (cent) :wink: Other than that everything should be covered by my insurance.

Ps. I cant wait untill i am able to take it for a ride again, need a new helmet. Ds.
