ugh, first track day didn't end well. Racing at Summit Point on the kart track with some other supermoto guys. Lowsided and instead of just going with it, I tried to catch it with unfavorable results.

Full gear. Arai vx-pro helmet, alpinestars tz-1 jacket zipped to A10 pants. Some older joe rocket gauntlet gloves, a* tech 8 mx boots. Sometimes **** just happens. The amberlamps lady said it would have been much, much worse without the mx boots. (saw some guys out with road race boots )

Bike damage


Skateboard wheel slider did its thing


Me damage, its really not that bad, but I'll link it anyway. They put a rod(large cut) and 2 screws(small cuts) in my tibia and just set the fibula back in place. No cast for now.

I have yet to see any pics/video of me out on the track but here is a video from someone else's helmet cam to show how the track was setup. I ate it in turn 2.

did your leg get whipped into the ground, or did you try and stand up when moving by planting your foot?

I tried to put my foot out and catch it/push it back up as if I was on the dirt section of the track. In hindsight, if I had just kept my foot on the peg and went down with it, I probably would have just got back up and kept on going.

pretty gnarly. +1 for gear.
