MintSauce Posted March 27, 2015 Share It's a good thing I looked at this BEFORE eating brunch! I saw the posts on FB but didn't realise just how serious it was. Eish. Get well soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbo_SA Posted March 27, 2015 Share Ouch, heal up quick dude. My standard response somehow does not seem appropriate, I guess there are just certain things that duct tape cannot fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassie Posted March 27, 2015 Share Kudos for sticking your neck our that far. My concern is...you may JUST get one mommy...who's hubby perhaps is a lawyer and her little johnny fell and broke his/her whasissname...now all up in arms and willing to take the fight to court and try and claim some liability? in spite of all the required signs being there and track being maintained...it could still happen... The best one I've heard from the the track...apparently there was a flasher lurking around (nope It wasn't me!!) and got caught by a group of lady riders (who took a picture of him )....big commotion and security called and arrived...statements taken etc. etc.... whilst this is all going down...a "garderner" on his way to work came past and decided to take a gap jump....with disaterous consequences!! fell his chops off!! Bike broken etc. when asked why he did it - he says...he can't read and therefore did not understand the "warning"...So, where do one draw the line?/ what is too much and what is too little in terms of warning (next thing will be... it wasn't displayed in all the offical langueges??)

Skylark Posted March 27, 2015 Share Ouch, heal up soon buddy! Do you reckon the lack of co-ords may have been influenced by the flu?I had a really bizarre wipe out after taking a small jump with blocked ears/cold, seems possible the balance gadgets in your ears gets messed up with flu/cold.

flymango Posted March 27, 2015 Share fortunately not although the doc had to move it out of the way for the plates and pins, so i have a permanent case of mild pins n needles in my last 2 fingers Healing vibes for you. In 2006, whilst doing my first run of single track ever on Mamba (Tokai) I also broke my elbow in three places but also damaged by ulnar nerve. Still don't have full use of my hand, and permanently have a mild tingling sensation in my last two fingers as you put it. Five operations and six months later I got back on the bike. Was very intimidating for months (scared of falling) but now it's all systems go, albeit with an arm which can only extend to 130 degrees (not 180 straight). Good luck with your recovery - you certainly got more trauma than I did. Ouch!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came short a number of times on the Blue and black stuff last season when i tried to ride with flu, I put it down to the effect on my balance from having blocked ears, dem bones etc don't work so well when submerged in goo. Think of a bubble in a spirit level, normally it reacts quickly when moved from one side to the other, replace that with something like honey (or any other suitable fluid of snot consistency) and you will notice how much longer it takes the bubble to react.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 27, 2015 Share Ja been following the clayton story for a while. was really happy to see him ride this year wrt to the track - please dont dumb it down - the track is perfect. Im not blaming anyone except myself for my accident I've been there a hundred times and normally get huge air over that big jump. I somehow just landed wrong If you start dumbing down, where do you draw the line? should we say that all bikes should be pushed and not ridden, in case someone falls? it gets ridiculous. ride at your own peril - no-one is forcing you to go big on the technical stuffThis!!!
