Feeling for you Madd dogg, two weeks ago today i shoulder barged a set of whoops busting my collarbone, cracking a rib and dislocating my sternoclavicular joint in my chest. Severe bruising of the shoulder has made everything virtually impossible to do. I wasn't even going that fast, i just landed in the wrong place. i'm off sick from work with probably another couple of weeks to go yet. More x-rays Thursday coming.

I virtually gave up the minute i got back here but quite a few people have persuaded me to carry on. Hell, i'm 38, still young.

I'm taking my son to Bournemouth tomorrow for gate practise, sadly i wont be riding.

Don't give in cos your hurt Russ.

It happens, just take the time to heal and get back on your bike. A break from racing actually does you the world of good. I tend to take time out each winter and it makes me come back stronger every year.

dont give up ya big puff.

we all take a crash every now and then

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #10 on:** February 23, 2008, 11:29 PM »

It's all part and parcel of the game. Slamming and recovering from slamming is what seperates us from the 'normal people'........

Plus, the more you slam, the easier it gets in my opinion. If you're only having one every few months or this is your first hard hit then it does ring the old alarm bells a bit. You'll feel differently about it in a few days

Arma · « **Reply #11 on:** February 23, 2008, 11:30 PM »

if ya not crashing then you sure aint learning .....simple when ya pull it it all makes sense and ya never think them retarded things like giving up, if ya can walk away with bruises thats cool, if ya cant walk away deal with it .......

i put my back out 4 or 5 years ago coming up short on the first jump of our set of downhill trails ( a gap of not much more than a bike length

) basicaly hung the rear wheel up at the top of the landing and somehow the bike fell infront of me , i landed in a sitting down position on the downslope

lying in a heap at the bottom unable to breath wasnt fun , nor was the week i couldnt sit down ( i think i mightave broken my coxix too )

i tentativly kept at it about a year after but the fun had gone so i sold the blackbike and gave away stuff i look back on and wish i still had

if im stood too long it aches , if im sat too long it aches . when i sleep i have to tuck my knees up otherwise the next day is painfull , its a feeling that never goes away

, its hard to remember before the constant ache

sure the odd massage eases it in the short term and yoga helps a bit too but itl be there for life now

2 years ago i got another bike and it was fun again , im still weary of doing more damage but i doubt i could give up completely on something that has given such joy , soo many good times with friends are due to that little bike

im only nearly 24 and its hard coming to terms with an injury that will be with me for life but you just have to think of mat hoffman

i wouldnt change it for the world

Go swimming mate, it really helps. I did mine in July06, I can feel it in my back/leg/foot, the Dr. couldn't do anything other than offer pills, but he did say 'go swimming, it's what we do'

Russ, jack it all in mate. It will save you a small fortune in sellers fees on ebay

I thought about giving up in 92 when I left 4 teeth in the bombhole at Alvaston.

I thought about giving up in 97 when I bust my collarbone and scalped myself at Chesterfield.

I now know how hard it is to give up.

Stick with it Russ. You're tougher than most.

so exactly on what authority can you make that comment. coz you gotta see this lad ride, he has racked up the injuries through riding hard and pulled some suprising results and big airs on the track in the sessions ive been present and puts blokes half his age to shame, my riding would progress astonishingly if i had his balls (preferable not his balls when he split them open tho

)

On his own authority. Which, if you knew Pat (Arma) would be enough
