On my race run at the Whistler Canadian Nationals, I hit a hole, cartwheeled and broke my ulna. I got up and knew my arm was broke, but for whatever stupid reason I got back on and finished the race (mostly one-handed) including the infamous GLC drop.

The doc. said it was called a "nightstick" fracture as it's the type you'd get defending yourself from a police baton.

6 weeks with a cast up to my armpit. :angry:

I'm going to miss all the rest of the races, but I'm most choked about the World Masters.

Man this thing hurts even with all the Percacet (sp?).
Typing with one hand sucks too.

See you later guys,
Steve

Bummer, sorry bro. I'm glad you'll make a full recovery and be back at it in no time. H

 

[Bicyclist]

Holy crap dude, you hit the GLC drop w/ a broken arm?!?! Hope you feel better soon. And hey, at least you've still got one arm to work with. :evil:

Hope you heal quick man. Welcome to the no ride this summer crew. =P

 

[Netguy]

I am pretty sure my buddy got your crash on video.

 

[Nick]

that sucks. I'm out for a while too with a broken collarbone.
Hope you heal up quick! Cheers.

 

[Stinky Boy]

That sucks dude! Heal up fast and get back out there. Sorry to hear about it!

I hit a hole, cartwheeled and broke my ulna.

What the heck bone is the ulna? I broke my right humerus last summer at Whistler. I'm not going to lie to you....rehab really really sucks:eviltongu

Sorry to hear about your crash and injury. Take care of yourself and heal up soon.

At least you can say that you went down "still firing". Getting back in the saddle after breaking an arm in the middle of a race and then doing a big drop is definitely hardcore. (Although I wouldn't recommend this to anyone for safety reasons)

Ya got guts, and you refuse to quit - good attitude to have for the recovery.

Take Care.

The ulna and radius are the 2 bones in the lower arm. Breaking your humerus is much worse.

I am pretty sure my buddy got your crash on video.

Hook me up! I kind of doubt it was me cause it was sort of in the woods after the course joined lower joyride and I didn't see any cameras rolling.

All of this makes me feel like a wuss after reading about berny pizarro. Please forward all your good wishes to her instead.

I'm so sorry for you... I broke my radius (that other wrist bone) back at the end of Jan.

Get some good calcuim and lotsa Vitimin C. Follow your doc's recommendations to the letter - no cheating! I did this, and was cleared to ride almost a month earlier than expected.

You will want to defy your doctor's orders and get out there sooner than you should. Resist this temptation. You will thank yourself when you can still use the arm without debilitating arthritis years from now.

Chin up, Steve. You're in good company.

I broke my radius and had surgery a few weeks ago, last summer I broke my humerus. Humerus rehab hurt more than breaking it as for my wrist I gotta say damn I have a nasty scar. Watch out when I stopped taking Percecet and Hydrocodone last week I had "Transpotting" withdrawl. Really bad night sweats, insomnia,fatigue and the worse stomach you can imagine. Drugs are bad next time well I hope theres no next time I'll take the pain with out the drugs old school style like when I was young and angry.

 

[Daver]

I was told that when i broke my radius (10 weeks ago) that had i broken my ulna it would have been much worse. Either way, i know exactly how you feel, good luck with the recovery and keep up the physio once you're out of your cast.

 

[Mtnrider]

Get well soon, and don't let you're self get too soft while recovering. I learned this the hard way, it takes a lot of work to get back in shape after sitting around for a couple of months.

Cheers!
