This strip of paint crashed me, this exact one in the picture crashed me yesterday.

Now I have bad road rash.

Any advice for dealing with road rash?
When I straighten or bend me knee it hurts and it still seems kind of raw but it's been like 32 hours.

It's a fun trail and I was going a bit faster than this guy but here it is on the downhill. My rear tire hit the paint which is bumped up a bit and it was enough to my rear fly out from under me.

Here is the leg, it's on arm and ass too.
Thought there might be some /n/ protips or something. I probably have to get new bars maybe... Idk. They're carbon and the tape is scraped off on side but I got them clearance and like the flat top they have for resting my hands on.

I'm going to stop posting now.

1. If you haven't already, you must clean out and disinfect your wounds. Shower, followed by hydrogen peroxide. This is no fun but infection is no joke.
2. Major/open road rash needs to be covered with a bandage/band aids to protect the wound and discourage infection, and bandages should be changed daily if necessary.
3. When wounds are no longer bleeding, then the fastest way to encourage healing is to apply an ointment like Neosporin and leave the wounds exposed to air.
4. If you go outside much before the road rash is healed, you should cover the affected area otherwise you'll end up with more visible scars.
5. Take ibuprofen for pain relief, it will also help reduce swelling and inflammation.

That's it. Road rash sucks, but look on the bright side: you didn't strain any joints or break any bones.

Thanks. I did rinse it and put neosporin on it immediately but not since. I keep wrapped today at work under pants but let it air at home.
I will do as you said, thanks.

Soon as I get some new bar tape. Going to take the bike in I guess, let them tell me if I need new bars or not, I hope not.

This

Schwalbe Durano tires offer superior grip in adverse weather conditions,their unparallelled riding comfort decreases riding fatigue and thus enables you to ride farther.
Furthermore the Raceguard protection belt consisting of tightly woven layers off nylon offers great protection against sharp object while keeping the weight to a minimum,a 23-622(or a 700x23c as you humongous faggots call it) only comes in at a respectable 235 grams

And this is why you shave/wax your legs anons.

Tires don't matter when you go over paint strips. They're all going to be slippery, especially when it's wet. The lesson here is to not ride over paint strips while leaning at high speeds as it will fuck your shit up at some point.
