Never got any confidence back after destroying my shoulder.

 

[blackohio]

apparently I also don't pedal at all, anywhere. But this is a really, really fun trail, it flows really well. I think it was be a really fun race run for super fast dudes.

I think so far after 8 months in Portland, this and Raven Ridge are my favorite trails.

that trail looks so sick!!!!
also what you do to your shoulder and how long ago was it?

Grade 3 sep. had a bad orb at 7 springs that I couldn't even get my hands up where I basically pile drives my shoulder into a rock., some muscle/tissue damage and now theres numbness in the 2 smaller fingers on that hand. It's been about 15 months since i torn up my shoulder. Even with rehab, stretching and whatnot I still have a lot of mobility/strength issues.

I wasn't super good or fast prior but i wasn't afraid of doubles, gaps and jumps. Not I seem to skip a lot, unless i'm forced hit them. I'm also w/o insurance right now after being laid-off so I try to keep my comfort level to simple things

Used to be 10x better... although still not complaining. One of the best in the area since, well, awhile.

 

[tingers]

Your bars and stem look nice.

Thera bands? I poped my shoulder out like 10x before surgery and I am not to fond if it when hitting (football) so I see what your saying..Get some thera bands and one of the big like balls that are filled with air? You know no sure what there called and do push ups on them..for relz.

 

[blackohio]

I use the bands currently and things are getting better for sure but theres some nerve damage there as well and thats the scary part. Loosing feeling in your hands is no bueno.

Dude, can I come up and ride that with you? We'll be old and slow gimps together!

Props to the Larch guys for putting time into the process and getting a fun, legit trail built that will be around for years to come.

 

[jackalope]

By Rick Santorum's santorum, that trail looks sublime. And FWIW, you're getting along just fine - almost caught a guy at the end it appears. Props on the riding and new cockpit bling.

 

[blackohio]

the more people i don't have to catch up to the better. i'd really like mid-trail snack shops.
