If you don't know me or Loz you might've wondered what this post title was all about, well I wasn't joking! Loz wanted to stall this flat rail with a 2" high bank for pop, I told him it was insanity, he told me he'd done it before, we were both right. So anyway pegs missed, bars landed on rail, BOOOM..... Thumb Sandwich! Loz is now running round and starts feeling a bit sick, Owain and Taliban go off to buy bandages, and I count drops of blood on the floor (after 30 I just gave up). About 15 minutes later things have calmed down somewhat when Marv randomly finds a nail on top of the rail where Loz crashed. It probably seems daft now, but we all looked at Loz's thumb after he did it and I don't think any of us thought for one minute that he was missing a nail. I mean is it even possible to pull your thumb nail off? We came to the conclusion it was someone's false nail and a wild coincidence. This picture was taken a few hours later, minutes after Loz took out the 'false' nail he'd kept and we realised he had in-fact pulled his entire nail off.
I think Marv pulled this the go after I stopped taking pictures because he was getting blinded by flashes. Don't I feel like a knob.
Equipment
Where's Owain looking here?
Tom tells me he did have 4 feathers but one of them fell out.
I should just give up trying to copy Chromasia really.
No wonder his feathers fall off.
A week after this photo Loz pulled off a better stunt by riding from Manchester to Chester on the A56 of all roads.
