got me a busted femur

[kx454]

long story short, did my first major race back from getting hurt bad last september on a bike. i raced a PA state harescramble at track by my house. ended up racing open A. got a good start and settled into 3rd place out of 18 guys or so.about the half way point of the race i came up on a few lapped riders. i went wide on a straight to get around them. was in 4th gear nearly ready to shift to fifth. and all i know i was upside down flipping (hit a drainage ditch). i knew it was bad when i landed and my shin bone was hitting me in he face. most people that saw it said it was the worst wreck they have ever seen and thought i was actually dead. so after a helicopter ride and an 18 inch titanium rod in my leg on sunday night and i am now home waiting to recover. i have the x-rays but i am not sure how to get them posted, they are in some strange format. but needless to say i just started to get rolls around better last week, they could actually be called a roll. but oh well here i am. i will try to get my x-rays up here in a bit, i mean i got nothing but time haha

dude I did the same thing last spring. holy crap dude it totally sucks. I shattered mine did yours just brake in one spot? either way you have a few crappy months to look foward to.

 

[willycrumb]

It either sounds like your having a string of bad luck or you really need to hang up the bike cus its not your thing. Good luck with the recovery.

Estimated recovery time???

 

[yamaslut]

sorry to hear about that.... You still don't know what happened??

 

[kx454]

they said about 8 weeks andit should be pretty good. as far as i know i hit a drainage ditch in the weeds at 4th gear on the rev limiter (give er take about 50mph) and it sent me right out over the front, and i guess i was tangle up with the bike fr a while. someone has a pic of the crash, i guess it was one of the longest crashed people have ever seen haha. my bike was super far from where i was, it was thw worst things i have been though, when i was sitting there and my leg had like a second 90 degree bend it was pretty scary. i wish i could get a pic of the x-ray going, its a pretty good one....

sorry to hear about his man, i'm heading up to my grandmas house on harveys lake for the next 2 weeks on saturday, was looking forward to seeing you out riding. Hope it heals quick!

 

[SJBrit]

That sucks - I'm sorry to hear that. I know what it's like to bust a bone at the start of summer: you'll be going insane by about August!! Hope everything heals OK and you're back on the water soon.

 

[onesojourner]

mine was shattered so it took me a while. I was on crutches for 4 months no/touchdown weight bearing. you can't cary anything and man taking a dump really sucks.
