    Robbie vs. tree limb (graphic)

    I pulled this off Robbie's facebook page. It looks like he had a pretty rough day! For those that don't know him, Robbie is a mainstay at Cyclewise.

    Robbie's story: "I was limbing a tree about 35 feet off the ground and the branch broke and came back at me hitting me in the head, nocked me out cold for bout 10 min. broke my nose both front teeth and 50 stiches in my face and twenty staples in the back of my head."

    He looks worse than his bike did when Bill got through with it!

    Nature is attacking! Screw global warming, trees are going to beat us to death!

    But seriously, hope he is alright, hope it just turns out to be a cool story he can tell for the rest of his life.

    Holy shit! Hope he's alright... Sounds nasty, looks even worse... That's a lot of blood. Did he fall out of the tree from 35 ft up?

    Tree stand for deer ...

    Voyerizing the hot chick in the second story window ...

    Just cause he needed the attention ...

    Lots of reasons!

    Glad he walked away without worse injuries, that sucks though. Here's hoping for a quick recovery!
