THats great mang... how much pressure can you put on it?

dont know yet. i can do some manualing and whatnot. still have not tried a bunny hop yet. nose wheelies hurt some. pulling back does not really bother me but pushing on it hurts some. hopefully things will go well. if not i have a bunch of beer and meat to consume as a back up plan. :p

Dont know what kind of injury you had, but take it easy for the nest few weeks. But glad your back.
broke both bones in my right forearm, as well as a wrist bone resulting in a dislocation of my hand and wrist. i now am left with a metal plate, some screws, some pins and a manufactured ulnar stylus since mine was ground down on the pavement(the little knot on your forearm).

welcome back!
good to hear you are feeling better.
doesnt it feel great to be back riding your bike?
dont overdo it for a few weeks.
I cant say it enough.
when I came back last year I felt great and on day 2 I really went for it.
crashed again and broke another body part and had to sit out 4 more weeks.
that was so dumb.
I think good judgement is one of the most important qualities a dh rider should have.

Good gravy man, that sounds terrible. :dead:

Actually I am fishing the Clinch tomorrow with a friend, but I will definately be back over sooner rather than later. :)

That's great that you'll be back on the bike...I have about two point five weeks before I get to go...

That is SO funny that you had your guy make a brace to fit your handlebars...I was half joking with the physicians assistant one day and asked if he could form the splint in the shape of my handlebars and he goes, do you have the bars with you? and I was like nooooo...you can do that? And he said sure...bring the bars in next time...I ended up losing the cast-like thingy the next time, so no need, but that is pretty cool...
