[Total Heckler]

I crashed at a skate/bike park in town for my friends bachelor party on Saturday evening doing a transfer. My front wheel slipped out on the metal between the ramp and concrete. I fell so fast an unexpectedly, I didn't even have a chance to put my arms out to catch myself. Thank god for my leatt and full face helmet.

2nd degree separation of the AC joint in my shoulder. SONOFA.

The doctors said I should be ok again in a few weeks, but that I also need to see a specialist just to double check and make sure nothing else got messed up.

I hope nothing else I messed up and that I will be fine to ride Whislter in August (trip is already paid for).

Now is the time to acknowledge that you need to slow down your level of riding.

 

[Total Heckler]

Or not ride on ramps / concrete.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Bummer to hear it. You had a pretty good run there of, what, 4-5 days without injury too.

Hope you heal quickly!

 

[jonKranked]

what tyres were you running?


also, leatt & full face in a skate park?

 

[Heidi]

you need to take up swimming. Seriously.

 

[Total Heckler]

I was running some street tires. I don't remember what they are off hand though.

And yes, leatt and full face even at the bike park. Better safe than sorry. I think my injuries would have been much worse if I wasn't wearing them. I hit the ground really hard with my head.

Swimming is how I dislocated both of my shoulders the first time. Apparently I shouldn't do anything,

lulz. i notice that sometimes even with proper street tires, the rubber gets slick if they are dusty.

Dude, your wife is one patient lady...

So's mine.

We be lucky, yo. Apart from all the injuries of course...

 

[stevew]

Dude, your wife is one patient lady...

she has the life insurance agent on speed dial.

 

[Total Heckler]

lolz her mom does life insurance. So yes, she does have a agent on speed dial.

My wife is awesome. The best part is that she is basically a nurse too. It was meant to be.

Yeah, it was my first time riding ramps. I would love to go back again sometime, I just don't think its worth it anymore.

Next time, buy trip insurance that covers your paid costs if you develop a medical condition that prevents you from traveling.

Noted.

I did a grade 1 about 2 months ago and I'm just getting to the point where I can wash my hair w/o pain. Figure 4-6 weeks off the bike.

But yeah, the alternative is you get your hand out in time and then you break your collarbone.

Really? You must have quite a swimstroke.

And the only thing worse than wearing all that sh!t... Is hurting yourself while wearing all that sh!t.

 

[MMike]

you didn't give us much of a chance to guess.

 

[CBJ]

I have to agree what kind of bull**** quiz

 

[Total Heckler]

lol yeah sorry guys.

Next time I will make it more challenging.

These pain pills are making me feel like ****. I don't want to be at work right now.

 

[CBJ]

Then stop taking the pills and live with a little pain.

 

[Ciaran]

Then stop taking the pills and live with a little pain.

Or take more pain pills, go home and pass out.

Sorry to hear about the shoulder. Hope you heal fast.

 

[rockofullr]

I got hurt! I blew a turn last night and have a booboo on my elbow.

 

[dhmike]

i think you should leave inside a plastic bubble total heckler .

[Total Heckler]

I don't understand why you guys are so concerned with pretty standard mtb safety equipment being used? I went from riding trails to riding the park. I didn't bring multiple helmets with me (especially with my history, why not have the extra protection?) If I wasn't wearing the full face, my face would have been ****ed up from the fall. Again, happy I was wearing it.

Anyways, yeah I should apparently live in some kind of bubble. No more pain pills for me. So weird that I never had this problem with the same meds as recent as January. Oh well.

 

[gonefirefightin]

suck it up cupcake.....chicks dig scars.......

oh wait, your married, never mind

I hear the Pan Flute is a low-key activity.
