I would say, "don't do this log ride" there is the chance of ending up like me. Dislocated ankle, and possibly stage 3 torn ligaments around the ankle

punch me for video

 

[dexterq20]

Holy crap. How'd you pull that off? That looks freakin' painful!

 

[Whoaohohohoh]

where is that log? the only one i know is by lock-em ups....

 

[Total Heckler]

Its in the illegal areas of nicene marks or however it is spelt. holy crap it doesnt feel good. =\

 

[DLo]

Ummmmm... dude I hope you get well soon I almost feel pain looking at that.

 

[Lennox]

ouch !

Did you just pop it back into place ? Had to be fun

btw... ur post should say... 'dont fall off this log ride'

get well

 

[Total Heckler]

Thanks guys, I am going to a specialist today to figure out if its going to need surgery or not. Its either stage 2 or 3 (out of 3- 3 most likely resulting in surgery because the ligaments are all completely torn). But yeah, bad times.

 

[punkassean]

wow, ouch

 

[Acadian]

ouch! ouch! ouch! ouch!...I get flashbacks and my foot is throbbing just looking at those pics!!

get well soon...

 

[Total Heckler]

Haha thanks guys. I'm dealing with it as best I can. =]

 

[i dont ride.]

UPDATE: It is a stage 3 ligament tear on my ankle. It is probably going to result in surgery. I am waiting to get into a specialist to see what happens next. =\

 

[ska todd]

HOLY F!! I'm getting flashbacks.

I remember doing that to my ankle on a log ride on Jan 1, 04. My result was a fracture dislocation.

Yikes.

this should be titled "A damn good reason not to ride on logs 10 feet above the ground." Call me a pu$$y if you want but I think this is a good reason you wouldn't ever find me on something like that.

 

[OGRipper]

Oh man that sucks. I hate seeing pics of body parts that are no longer attached the right way.

Sorry if you don't like this question, but do you think it would have helped if you were wearing high-tops or an ankle brace? Or was it just one of those things that would have happened anyway? There has been some recent discussion about ankle support here and I'm curious if you have suggestions that might help others. BTW, those are some pretty fly Pumas...hope you heal up fast and fully.

 

[i dont ride.]

from the way josh desribed the accident. i think it would have happened with or without an ankle brace.

i had something similar happen to me snowboarding a few years ago. right off the lift i caught an edge and put my foot down in a soft spot, toe dug right in and i fell twisting my foot around backwards. i had minor tears in my ligaments but becaue of the high top boarding boots i was wearing my ankle didnt give out all the way and my knee had to twist in some interesting ways as i fell. i ended up tearing ligaments in my ankle and knee and got a small tear in the membrane around my knee as well. fun times... that was in '00 and my knee and ankle are still stiff on cold days.

hope they can put your ankle back together josh.

sucks to hear about your injury man. my tendons had to get some major repair work done after i broke both forearm bones and one of my wrist bones with a major dislocation of the hand, wrist and thumb.

my advice to you is request muscle realxers, they helped me more than any pain medicine because they kept the muscles from spasming.

get well soon.

 

[scurban]

Its in the illegal areas of nicene marks or however it is spelt. holy crap it doesnt feel good. =\

DUDE, you did better then me, I broke two vertabre in my back (T-5 and 6) on a log ride up there. Which did you do your ankle in on? I'm curious if its the same log.

Since the incident, I have decided log rides are dumb, and I stay away from them.

 

[foesjunky]

The road to recovery will be long, I didn't walk for six months. I feel for ya. Get lots of good DVD's like New world Disorder to keep you busy Also Sleeping is going to suck for awhile the weight of the blanket hurt like hell. Can you say VICODIN

Sounds like Karma to me.



get well. then ride.

 

[punkassean]

Karma has nothing to do with man-made laws. Karma is the universal law. The trails there are only illegal because of bureaucracy. It's not really faux pas to ride there.

 

[Total Heckler]

Wow you guys those were some pretty bad injuries...It makes me feel better about mine slighlty. On monday I really find out what will happen to my ankle.

I think Karma had nothing to do with it. Well said 'punkassean'.

 

[El_Chimichanga]

Nothing left to do with the weekend but pop a can of PBR, sit back and let the lovely ladies come to you! We'll prop you up in the corner of any party and I ga-run-tee you will have a good time. I tell ya, the ladies love scars and torn ligaments. LOVE IT!



GET WELL SOON MAGGOT.

 

[GiantRider]

Sorry to hear man, i did my ankle last summer as well and was off my bike for about 6 months as well. Try to stay in good condition although it will be tough, i started to do alot of upper boddy workouts and once i could get around on crutches i started going to the pool which helped alot in keeping up my endurance.

 

[Total Heckler]

Thanks guys...

Monday is the day of truth...I will keep you guys posted.

 

[GiantRider]

Good luck.

 

[foesjunky]
