HARD LUCK AT OILMAN JAMBOREE, KERTIH

6th June 2015

It was more than 1 year I did not participate jamboree since jamboree Parit Yani in Johor.

Around 500 riders were flag off at 8am at Sek Menengah Kg Chabang, Kerteh. I rode on tarmac for 6-8 km before entering undulating offroad. I was disturbed by an official call which I have to answer it immediately by road side before first big climb offroad.

Later after the call, I did realize that I was among the rider left at the back. Continued pedalling and only few riders met inside the course until I fell at one of the drop at small river stream.

That’s all of it after 30min on the saddle with few minutes offroad, things were alright at the beginning and I believe I have lost focus on the trail and not fast enough to decide which trail I should follow. No barricade was installed at that place to indicate danger of drop when riders crossing the stream

I was rescued by marshall nearby and rode on his motorbike to nearest exit before took over by JPAM. Bro Bulat my fellow rider from H66 helped me brought back my bike to the starting place.

After further check up at Hospital Kemaman, I have suffered partial dislocation at index and ring fingers on the left hand. From the X tray, my index finger got small fracture. Got MC for 10 days and need rest for faster recovery. Thanks to Allah only minor injuries involved.
