Double carnage

[Matt_E]

I'm sitting at the Dr's office right now.
Doing some flips off boat wakes, I snapped my already frayed trim cable (i wasn't using trim though), lost my trim ring, steering nozzle, and the ez-pulley assembly.
As that happened, I lost all steering (duh). The ski pulled to one side and pulled my finger against the throttle. My right foot was still locked into the hold and I felt/heard my knee pop. Instant pain, yay! I had to just float in the 55 degree water for a bit.
Made it back to the ski and limited back to shore.
Here I am. :bigok:
The only good trim pieces I have left are the lever and the cable holder.

That sucks man. Hope it isn't serious. How did you lose the trim pieces? Did you hit something or did the thrust bust it off once it went loose?

 

[BruceSki]

how much for the lever and cable holder?????


nah that was a joke...


Hope the knee is okay. knee injuries are no fun. good luck.

The bolt holes in the reduction nozzle were apparently stripped and the bolts fell out.

X-ray came back clear. Probably a torn ligament. "just take ibuprofen"
Geez, thanks Dr. Jackass.

You will probably pay more for the doc than it will cost to repair your trim........

Dude I hope that knee is ok, I have been hobbling around for years on one bad wheel because of motorcycle wrecks in my younger , stupider years, hell thats why I got into this sport, it hurts a lot less when you screw up.

 

[McDog]

Nice spring. LOL. Hopefully it was your MCL if anything. Hurts like hell but doesn't require surgical repair.

which knee? hope its not your wee-knee. that would be a bad muscle to pull, wait a sec.

 

[Matt_E]

Lol, wee knee? WTF is that man? :lmao:

Thanks for the well wishes guys. Don't think I'll be doing much riding/running/bike riding in the near future. No school to keep me busy either.
Damn, I'm gonna be bored.

 

[WFO Speedracer]

Stop being a wee- knee

 

[Matt_E]

LOL, got it. :biggrin: Doh.

I think I'll be leg-dragging a lot more in the future.

 

[WaveDemon]

do you have barnacles on your bunks? you win.

 

[D-Roc]

arrrr. weenie is the little thing between your legs, above the big bawls you use to flip. haha. heal up and ride on!

 

[tightithrash]

Bummer buddy!

 

[NVJAY775]

Hang tough Matt! Bummed for ya dude. Any chance of some "wee-knee" physical therapy to get you back in the game? It's an ass kicker, but helps.

 

[MADMAT]

Matt it sucks but it sounds like you got off easy like I did once...5 months and it was perfect again..

 

[Matt_E]

Lol.
I hope this blows over in a week or I'll go crazy.

 

[MADMAT]

That would be nice...and it may...
