F!!!!!! Just heard back from the doc. I did fracture my tailbone. No bike for 6 weeks. I'm pretty bummed right now. Did I really have to attempt to ride that skinny log for the 3rd time?

So you're saying you injured your tail by riding a skinny log?

bummer man

while painful, it beats messing up a joint or limb that might take much longer to heal and cut into your ski season.

First thought is, I feel badly for you. I know first hand how this type of injury feels and it takes a tremendous amount of patience and rest to heal well
But then there is the thought that sticks with me, thinking, Grassi has a broken butt...

Sorry to hear about the broken a$$!

Just thought I'd post a pic of a "healthy a$$" for motivation for 'ya! ;)

Come on now, we all knew that this pic just had to make an appearance in this thread sooner than later!

That pic will be motivation to get back on the bike in 6 weeks. Well, the injury was this past Sunday so I am 5 weeks and a few days out of the game.

Thanks for posting Doc! :)

A big reason why I don't mountain bike is that I'm afraid of being injured but you'll be all healed up well before ski season. Next time don't fall..
