slowpoke Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 what can i say... i did it again... 1 week short of a year since the first time... yep, i took a short cut off the little concrete bridge in the top corner of delta park into the river below. DON'T WORRY i had ny priorities straight the new mongoose is fine. my collarbone isn't so here i go again... recovery time required. at least it's not as bad as last time.
FanieFiets Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 eina. good luck met recovery. Bly fiets is fine!
Racer X Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Hey SP, sorry bout the collarbone if its any consolation I hit a taxi in June, (Taxi's Fault). Broke 6 ribs, got a bruised kidney, 106 stitches and a concussion on top. Any way point the story is: Don't listen to your GP if it doesen't hurt ride. I started again after 3 weeks off the bike,(once the concussion had lifted) and 3 weeks later I was fine, I reckon that any more time off the bike would have done me more harm than good.
slowpoke Posted October 14, 2007 Author Posted October 14, 2007 racerX, the only time that i've listened to the doc 100% was with spinal injury in 2004 (AR accident). luckily the orthopaedic surgeon that i'm going (back) to is a runner and he agrees with the "listen to your body, just don't be stupid" approach
nellie Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Ai SP - not good to hear. Heal up quicly and hope your back on the bike soon. Strongs chic!! Thinking of you.xxx
Guest Big H Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Aggenee SP nou moet daai mooi nuwe fiets stilsit en niks doen nie.

slowpoke Posted October 14, 2007 Author Posted October 14, 2007 thanks everyone, i just feel like such an idiot - i had all the time while dropping though the air to twist around to rather land on the other side... but hell, we don't always think of these things when we're "learning to fly" and are more concerned about our bikes, do we?
Hog_ Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Damn dude!! You have a pic of the bike? Hope you have a quick and full recovery, so you can do it all over again!
slowpoke Posted October 14, 2007 Author Posted October 14, 2007 the bike is 100% undamaged as far as i'm aware... i had a look as best i could (trying to igmore the pain) whle waiting for MichH to fetch me. it's actually at her place now - was too much effort to get it off her car by the time she got me home last night so it went with her... i'll get it back sometime this week. (ps guys, i'm a "dudette" not a "dude" )
nellie Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Haha...ja SP...i was just about to tell the guys that "slowpoke" is actually a girl - see you beat me to it:)
Cycle Junkie Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Agh no SP, that is not good news, Hope you recover soon. All the best.
