PJ you missed out man...

I pretty much shattered my forearm just before my wrist... Its called a smith fracture. My forearm is bent a bit at that moment... Will be getting in manipulated back into place on Monday =]

Theres my hols gone... I guess I will be on here more then usual for the next 6 weeks.

Landed on the front wheel, bounced once, thought i might make it back then jumped/flipped over the bars, chucked my hands out, hit my head on the ground, my face had some dirt on it but no cuts. Got up, walked about 10m then lay down and took some big breaths. Then walked to the car with my wrist/arm a lil' bent. Its the next day now, I swear I got like 1 hours sleep. Its more painful now then it was when it happened and I have been on 30mg+ of kodene since i went to sleep last night. Not cool.

I'm not looking forward to getting it all bent into place tomorrow, I cant really see myself sleeping that night.

Cheers

I broke my arm about 5 weeks ago an i thought i could not last a week without riding. Its been 5 weeks an i have not killed anyone yet so i must be doin ok.

You might have your cast on for 6 weeks but im sorry to tell you it can still be another month untill you can ride because the arm will still be weak. You will find other things to do in that time (may i sugest free rider 1 or 2) but if you start riding too soon you might rebreak it which is another 2-3 months.

Good luck. I fell your pain

I broke my wrist nearly 5 months ago & it's still healing. The radius is completely healed up with little to no pain but the scaphoid is still bothering me & the osteoporosis that developed from inactivity is taking its time to ease up.

I broke my wrist 6 months ago and i had to have it minipulated into place 2 times. i had 4 casts and after having the last cast taken off i had to wait another 6 weeks untill i could ride my motorbike and push bike again.:mad:

That would really suck, and just before the summer holidays... I can't imagine how you would feel about now!! I would be so shitted!

It's funny how many people have broken there arm lately(it really isn't). I fractured my Radius 4 weeks ago and about a week ago had a fiberglass short cast put on and iv'e tried to ride. Man it sucks, but it happens.

[bransly]

i also broke my arm on friday. second day of the holidays and im out for six weeks. gay

[jacobmy20]

[mongoosedh]

This happened to me last holidays, god it is not fun. I missed out on the state champs. :(

haha, thats exactly what happened to me... fractured radius, its a smith fracture if i remember right, except normally smith fractures bend outwards away from your body... Mines pointing in which apparently makes it worse... I'm hoping to get a fibre-glass half cast thing in 3 weeks or so, then i guess i can start riding the road cycle and getting fitness up again...

[Dirt_Jump_Monkee]

HAHAHAHAHA That is so ironic i was dropping on my old bike adn Fked it upp and broke me Radius that was a gamp.......:eek:
