Ok, i'm new to BMX. The council recently built a park in my home town and so I bought a BMX. Why not, I say... :D
Anyway, It was all going really well till about a week last wednesday. I got a bit ****ey and after a successful little run on the smaller ramps, I decided to try to roll-in off the 6ft Quarter Pipe. I didn't pull it off and as the bike fell down the ramp, the wheels gripped the surface and sort of tossed me sideways onto the tarmac. I landed on the only part of my body I wasn't wearing a pad on - my hip! :oops:
Thing is, over a week later, My hip no longer hurts, it never bruised and I'm pain free, until I get on the bike. Whenever I jump, my groin really pulls and hurts.
Just wondered if anyone else had got this injury? Any advise on recovery time - The pain I can handle, I just don't want to do any permanent damage that might stop me riding.
Cheers
