I was out for 6 months with back to back injuries (shoulder surgery, then sprained MCL in my knee).

Watched lots of bike movies, did overhauls on all of my bikes, raised my RM post count, worked on my race resume, and scored some new sponsors for the 2010 race season.

harden up, 2 weeks is nothing
I have been off the bike for four months.. I am studying abroad for a semester and costs to ship were too much. Bringing it with me, would have been a logistical nightmare so was stranded, bikeless. [still] I have spent money I dont have on new parts and watched countless hours of videos. I have started planning my next DH bike, AM bike, DJ, XC etc.. I am going through withdrawal. Physically and mentally I can't handle it, thank god I am going home in a week and will be on the bike 24/7.:thumb:

Drink a ****ton of beer and monster, eat like a jackass. Gain 20 lbs in the winter so I have a project in the spring.

You can always make stickers yourself in a vector art program like adobe illustrator.. or very high resolution non shaded simple color pixel programs (photoshop at 300dpi) and send them off to be made on the cheap. I got these fork stickers made for sub 10$:




... nobody has caught on. :rofl:


Edit: I'll suggest the place I got mine from in pm, but first I'll let some of the monkeys here who make stickers be heard.

Me and a buddy cleaned up an old trail today with plans for a re-route for a particular section. Didnt have our bikes but we had a great time. It will all be worth it once spring rolls around.. :weee:

Oooh that is a f'ed up hand. Take care of that scaphoid, they can be a real b1tch sometimes. Surgery I would assume? Did they fix (screw) the scaphoid?
No, nothing requires surgery which is nice. I've broken this scaphoid before, the doc said reading my MRI was "interesting"

:D
