When a Whoooo Hooooo, turns into an OH Sh........

[Trekchick]

.................iiiiiiit!

I had one of the best ride nights of the season. Getting the bunny hops, popping logs, and ripping through the down hills, ruts, roots and all!
I had tons of Whooooo Hoooooo! Going on!
Then it happened.
The guy in front of me(new guy to the group) didn't follow the line of those in front of him, and went to a bad spot in the sand, he baubbled, which forced me to take a different line, one of which was worse with sand, which sucked me off trail where I hit a log under brush and went over the handle bars.
Bruised hip, strawberry marks on my stomach, hit my head hard on the ground(thank goodness for a good helmet), and twisted my wrist.
I figured I sprained my wrist, so, no biggie, finished the ride, loaded my bike and headed for dinner with friends.
During dinner, my wrist started to bruise and swell, ugh!
off to ER for xrays. Yup, Hairline fracture, and possible ligament damage.
I think I'll be back on the bike in a few weeks, but I won't know until I see the sports med doc on Monday.

My new goal, Turn the Oh Sh........its into Whoo Hoooo's, not the the other way around!

Tell me your whooo hooo stories!

Here is a shot prior to the crash.

You should of had the FS bike instead of the HT, you might of rode right on by him.

Hope you get back out soon.

I have a FS, but left it home. Don't ask me why, but I've been playing around on the HT a lot this summer. Next time The Liquid comes out to play!!!

That does suck!
From a golfers perspective........
Much worse than a broken wrist!

If there is any ligament damage 2 weeks till your back on the bike is very optimistic. Ligamants do not heal very quickly. I injured my left wrist last November during judo (don't even know how I did it) and tore a ligament in my hand. It took about 5 months to recover about 80%. I am still working on that last 20%. I hope things work out better for you.

You are right on target ---I only got 85% back on mine

One more thing: the only way they can till if there was ligament damage is with an MRI. For some reason MRI's to the hand are one of the longest to perform. Mine took almost 50 minutes.......which really sucked! Those things are freakin loud!
