That's not how it works in EU the though.Nothing, I think the government takes ~$350 a year from me and I don't have private insurance.

They do, those bastids!I do not know the Canuckian implications, soory
Applicable tax will get added on during check out.Haven't used ebay in like a decade. Ever run into that kind of thing @rideit ? Could they slap more charges on after I've paid the purchase it now price?
Sweet, that will make oil changes much faster.Buddy just cracked his new boxxer lowers open on a rock....he was at snow summit riding...lol

QfMFT!shit happens when you charge....chalk it up to a good time
Were your metacarpals pinned? How long before you were back on the bike?How'd the X-rays go? Broken bones?
In the last few years I've done one finger bad enough to need surgery and plating plus three metacarpals. Crunchy hands suck.
Apparently in the 2 years it's been since I last rode Downieville, I've gotten faster or make poorer line choices. Cracked a WAO Union rim (front wheel) on a rock on 3rd Divide. I never even saw the rock, just heard a clack then ffftt-fffft-fffft of the flat. I guess my usual 21/24 psi pressures for local "haha what's a rock" trails weren't sufficient because I heard about 4 clacks in the rear too.
Second day I put a brand new DD Assegai up front and jacked pressures up to 24/27 and still got one good front rim strike in. Still, the rim rode fine after the flat and for the whole second run, and WAO are going to send me a new rim. The funny thing is I already ran the highest pressures of all the guys in my group of friends, and now I've got to go up even higher.

They weren't unfortunately and they healed slightly arched. The specialist I saw in the end couldn't believe they used a cast to set them without pinning them. Now my third knuckle is missing (about 5-8mm receded into hand) and that hand doesn't sit flat.Were your metacarpals pinned? How long before you were back on the bike?
Oof, that's rough man, although only 4 weeks off the bike sounds pretty good relative to some other injuries I've had.They weren't unfortunately and they healed slightly arched.

Then in 2019 I clipped a pole while riding and totalled my pink on the same hand! You can still see the damage to the metacarpals in the first X-ray.
Then when the reset the break of the pinky they broke my 4th metacarpal (the pinky was way harder to re-break than you'd imagine). So in summary - my dreams of being a pickpocket or world class piano player are probably not gonna happen anymore
I was however only off the bike about 4 weeks each time. Maybe 8 weeks till proper hooning again.
Yeah 4 weeks without any off-roading, but a bit tentative for a few weeks after that. Weirdly despite the number of bones I've broken over the years, soft tissue injuries have kept me off the bike longer. A combination appendectomy/hernia repair left me off the bike for a couple months and a torn muscle in my back following a mid-air reverse tree hug stopped me from doing anything for 6-8 weeks as well.Oof, that's rough man, although only 4 weeks off the bike sounds pretty good relative to some other injuries I've had.
In all honesty, it would be a lot easier to run DH casing or inserts than actually pick better lines./DH case.
Yeah, most of my longer recoveries have been soft tissue as well - lisfranc, torn calf, for some reason my first (of many - rest were shorter recoveries) torn rotator cuffs, herniated disc etc. I did have a broken arm that took two surgeries to fix; that took awhile to come back from. I also had a broken neck that apparently didn't cause me any issues when it originally happened...fucking weird.Yeah 4 weeks without any off-roading, but a bit tentative for a few weeks after that.

Meanwhile, old Gee Atherton is talking about riding already just three or four weeks after breaking like 11 bones... mad Vulcan.
Had this happen too...we know 3 times I've broken my back but we found 5 different sections of my back that had been broken or fractured...I also had a broken neck that apparently didn't cause me any issues when it originally happened...fucking weird.
Lmao....there is some dumb shit people try for sure....seasoned vets we deal with shoulder etc . But main injuries are usually newbies or people with CRAP FORM...
fixed that for youIn all honesty, it would be a lot easierto runDH casingsor inserts than actually pickallow "better" lines.
Noooooooooooooo!fixed that for you
You misinterpreted meNoooooooooooooo!
That's no fun. That's like getting married sounds like a we'll thought out plan but "ZAP" your balls and excitement are sucked out of life cause you used your head...
Next your driving a mini van wearing tan khakis your ass looks like a over stuffed loaf of bread, plaid shirt and you have this blank look of "life's been sucked out of you!", You get turned on by golden girls and you stash your wife's underwear catalog from sears for a good time later.......grandma panties make your wifes ass look hot......(the kind that go over their belly button)
All cause you chose to take a better line instead of a DH casing...
Stick with HD tires and live

Hey BroAnyone rip a labrum? Apparently mine is torn pretty bad but I won't be getting surgery anytime soon...they want to but competition and racing is coming up...xfit, strength and the dh open...
Anyone with the surgery if you can fill me in...
Had 2 full reconstructions of my nose and cheeks from fighting and sports...got a 3rd coming up so they can put a peice of ear cartilage on my nose to widen it so I can breath under heavy load
Lifted weights and xfit that same night so I don't like following sit down rules...

Got yourself some good racoons eyes lol...I have straightened my nose all too many times by myself...some 4way nasal spray and was good to go..Hey Bro
DH race though... Doh
Fucks sake lads. This can't be stated enough. Too many head knocks and you could end up taking over writing the pre-WC ramblings from @jackalopeGuys, be careful with your heads!
Too late that digger in Elsinore on troy lee trail...concussion and TBI...Fucks sake lads. This can't be stated enough. Too many head knocks and you could end up taking over writing the pre-WC ramblings from @jackalope
What the fackI got the Z and they peeled it back to my eyebrows pulled my septum out and put it on table
Yep...they cut the lower snip of nose peel it back to your forehead and pull the sceptum out if they can just rebreak and pop it...was on table 6 hours to reconstruct and figure out how to fix it .. woke up a few times during surgery ...tried to get up eyes taped shut...I'd ask if we were done...lol they would ask if I'd lay back down and I would..What the fack
I had pins in the 4th metacarpal for 2 weeks. Taking them out was interesting, not painful but not something I'll be rushing to repeat.Were your metacarpals pinned? How long before you were back on the bike?

Would you rather pin it to the top?I give this post a thumbs up
