So...

- Start date
It was great they were running the lift on the western territories the whole weekend. On saturday it was pretty muddy but fun, but on sunday it was completley perfect. Sorry I dont have any pics to much ridding to do and no taking pictures.
So Charlie, were these two Saturdays from parallel universes?Bearmntpicnic said:
I'd love to see some pic's too. Hopefully someone has some. I had some great riding myself this weekend up in highland county.
Friday, muddy and fun. Saturday, a little muddy and fun. Sunday, hot n' dry and fun. 
Hows the finger?

saturday was amazing...hairball was rideable since it was dry ahha
Sorry about the finger dude...
The boys did another great job of trail maintenance for the start of the season.
They re-routed the portion of the sport course that leads to the rock garden - it's much better. Upper Quick Draw is now nicely burmed and a whole lot faster - lower is still rocky and tech.
Power line was really nice on the day it was open, but trail poachers made some ruts in the takeoffs of the tables on the day it was closed.
All in all it was an excellent weekend, and I'll be back this weekend! Sorry, no pics, and I didn't see anybody taking pics either.

Snapped clean off. Seeing a surgeon tmrw to see if i need screws or plates. 4 weeks off the bike is my guess but ill just shoot a bunch of photos in the mean time.
OK, define "clean off" and...how'd ya do it?
After things dried out a little on Saturday, the trails were in primo condition for the rest of the weekend. The team up there has done an excellent job so far this season - props to them.
No pics, sorry.
No pics, sorry.
Great weekend. Got up there Friday around noon. It had rained in the morning so it was sloppy. Did 2 runs before the bottom dropped out and rained again all night. Sat. started out messy but just got better as the day went on. Sunday was as close to perfect as it getts up there. Monday It was actually a little dusty
Crap, Andrew, that sucks. Heal up fast. I was looking forward to shredding the Shoe with you again.mobius said:
so did you break the finger clean off? was it lying in the dirt or to it just break clean?
Did you get them to drill out some bones while they were in there? I bet they could have shaved a solid gram off of you.mobius said:
Hope your thumb heals up quick man!
Damn Andrew, that sucks! Heal up quick bro, and DON'T SELL THE BIKE!

i shattered my hand at wgreen in 03 (memorial day weekend) and 11 weeks later i was wakeboarding, by late september, maybe not even that long, i was back at wgreen (labor day i think)
you are WAY younger than me so you'll be back on the bike in no time.
i had 4 fractures, 2 dislocations, 3 temp pins,1 permament plate w/5 screws, and 2 permanent screws (5th metacarpal and capitate were screwed, 4 metacarpal was plated) temp pins went across width of hand for stability, 2nd and 3rd 'carpal were forced by the impact on top of the schaphoid (sp?), 5th had a simple break, 4th was comminuted (multiple fractures) fractured capitate (wrist bone) and trapezhoid (thumb bone)

Sorry to hear about your finger. So you're going to take off the Avy, or just the Shiver?mobius said:
Hey, Andrew, so sorry to hear about your finger. That sucks. Take good care of it! You need it for the rest of your life, you know?
i think she was referring to your ability to pick your nose...
Nose picking..that's funny,don't make me laugh it hurts ,as that weird little sweeping left turning shoot thingy that broke Andrews finger clean off got me too and broke/brused my ribs (not sure which).
Come on Andrew ,go to the Sugar National, we will ductape your hand to the bars, you'll be fine, suck it up man! seriously though Heal up Quick. I am going to give the Nationals a shot, went to the BMX track thursday and it HURT! .My buddies will call me a pussy if I don't go, can't have that.

WOW!Looks like I got bushwhacked. I thought I g-ed out at the top and got bucked down the shoot, but it looks like the bush knocked me off balance. All I know for sure is it hurt for 2 weeks.
Hey Corey are you going to whitetail?

Just be careful not to lose it inside a lady friend!mobius said:
Ouch, the rock ? damn!. I wish someone had filmed yours too. It's kinda cool seeing what really happened, I really thought I was pretty much in the air down that shoot, but it seems that I was just unweighted and obviously a bit off balance. funny thing is when it was happening I remember thinking ,I got this ,no problem I can hold on to this, this aint over, lol. then blamo...my old ribs still hurt a little.
How's your finger healing up, you coming to Whitetail ?
