Diablo Rider Injured list, how long are you out for?

[bmxracer62]

I have this abnormal bone growth thing in my leg, it moves and stuff when my muscle flexes and rubs and grinds when doing so. Its been like this for a few years now, only an annoyance. i had a pretty bad crash last sunday on the open course, right after the big step up where it drops down twice into kind of a chute and i went straight into the big ass boulder thats there, bent my front wheel, and twisted my stem! well i must have wacked my the bone thing(like the other 10,000 times) and now im out for good, at least a month till i see the orthopedist, i cant ride ****. even when i see the dr., i have no clue how long it will be till im back, hope it wont be too long. im so upset i cant even begin to describe, i havent cried in years and just got done ballin my eyes out. my first 3 races i had this season was two 1st places and a 2nd, i was planning on adding more wins, guess that changed real quick.Ill be out for at least dom 2 race, and a few bmx races, i dont know what to do. i know there is more of you out there who feel my pain. feel free to share. thanks for listening to my sob story.:(

[WhoRyder]

Damn, Dev.... HEAL UP bro!

Sorry to hear this man!

[IAMAPRO]

You can always go trail riding. and when you return to DH, you'll be stonger because you will want more from it, trust me. Good luck.

[bmxracer62]

yea, it has also limited my sprinting for a few years so when they remove it or whatever they do, i should be even faster than before. its me driving insane. i dont really have any friends, i dont go out, all i do is bike, take that away and im in a major state of depression. im trying to do things i couldnt do before cause i was biking all the time, catching up on some fishing, getting the bikes back up to par, it sucks having to do it all by myself though. im going to call the ortho office back and try to get in earlier, in want at least 2 more months of riding this season. i need to be healthy for boarding season too.

I cant ride anything! any flexing of the muscle and it goes all out of wack. its like i have two knee caps, idk, its hard to explain. but yes when i do come back im going to purposly push harder than ever, i have a strong heart when it comes to riding, i can not, will not be stopped. its in my blood, i love this ****e too much!

[bmxracer62]

Damn, Dev.... HEAL UP bro!

Sorry to hear this man!

[yuroshek]

i feel ya man, ive been riding flatland/racin bmx for years and now im racin DH. riding has brought me to places id never travel to if i wasn't riding this 2 wheeled machine called a bike. the last 5 times i've been on a plane was with my bike. so i can imagine what your goin thru right now, just hang in there bro.

[The303Kid]

that sucks, last season the weekend after the open i nose cased the second upper dominion jump and got flung from my bike onto that big flat rock after the 2nd jump, i had a separated shoulder, fractured skull, and mild concussion, i was out for about 2 months but it gave me a good story to tell and some much needed rest.

[jcaramia]

holy **** dev, get well soon.

[konarider1283]

I feel your pain my man. last year, the weekend after i got out of school for hte summer, i suffered 2 concussions in one weekend. one was dirt jumpiing, the second was flipping off the drop at the top of exodus. It resulted in me staying in the hospital overnight, 2 blood clots in my head, and the neurosurgeon telling me that I wasn't allowed to ride for 6 months. It was the worst 6 months of my life. I almost lost all my interest in biking altogether, but when i was allowed to ride again (on Christmas day actually, pretty funny huh?) i got a transition double for x-mas n pushed myself to start riding again. n now im having tons of fun :). Heal up soon man!

it must have been amazing to see a transition double under the christmas tree huh?

[konarider1283]

a nice cardboard frame box is what every biker wants for christmas ;)

[bmxracer62]

DOM 2? 1ST PLACE? I think so!

[AzToJrse]

get over yourself!

[bmxracer62]

your a dueche

[captainlawndart]

waaaah waaah waaah is all i hear

i am the proud owner of a herbert screw in my left wrist...

i had surgery on my wrist (broken scaphoid bone) 3 weeks ago, cast comes off tommorrow....i will most likely be at diablo saturday. Apparently my wrist was broken for the past 3 months, and i didnt know :poster_oops:

if your in that much pain go to the dr now. if not, get over it and stop whining, injuries are a part of riding.

[bmxracer62]

i can see the dr. when he can see me, in the meantime, i cant ride. ive been riding and racing for over 10 years now, i think i know about injuries. ive had a kickass riding and racing season so far and all that got turned around very fast and im bummed, sorry thats how i feel. thanks for the support dick!

[captainlawndart]

if time is such an issue for you, why don't you go see a different doctor?

[bmxracer62]

im trying, i work in a dr. office and the head dr. referred me to this one guy cause hes so good but his schedule is pretty popular as well so im debating on switching my already made appointment and finding someone else. its starting to feel better though, i might be able to ride in like a week, but the problem wont be solved though. idk, ill see how things go.

[AzToJrse]

you've been riding and racing for over ten years now and you are bragging and acting like an a$$hole for winning intro class? and you're calling me a douche? wow you are the coolest, can i please hang out with you and ride with the fastest sandbagging intro rider, please please!!

[bmxracer62]

i just started riding and racing dh this year, i never bragged, and yes you are a dueche

[AzToJrse]

OK cool guy. whatever you say

[drkenan]

and you're calling me a douche?

Douche!


Wait...I think you're actually more of a turd sandwich (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douche_and_Turd). :rofl:

[captainlawndart]

i might be able to ride in like a week, but the problem wont be solved though. idk, ill see how things go.

DONT be an idiot like me and ignore your injuries. if i went to the doctor three months ago like i should have i would be riding right now.

if i were you i would go see a different doctor. all your ortho is going to do is take and xray, then a catscan or MRI depending on the level of detail they need. then most likely he'll either say "lay off your knee and let it heal" or "you need surgery"

[AzToJrse]

Douche!


Wait...I think you're actually more of a turd sandwich (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douche_and_Turd). :rofl:

nice kenan, and i thought we were friends. what are you doing lurking in these parts? how ya healin buddy?

[drkenan]

how ya healin buddy?

Actually healing pretty well now. Started physical therapy for the shoulder today and the wrist should be out of a brace in 2 more weeks. I love the Diablo forum man - plus since I can't ride I ain't got sht else to do.

To the OP - I know exactly how you feel man. I've been in the dumps since I hurt myself about 6 weeks ago but you just gotta see the light at the end of the tunnel. DON'T sit around being all depressed and eating junk food - it will only make you worse. Get out and do whatever exercises you can stand and get the blood flowing. You won't get better by being stationary. Hang in there man - you'll be back winning intro races in no time! :D

[bmxracer62]

god forbid i win my first dh race ever and im a sand bagger? i thought i got last place. i am to switching to amutuer.

[bmxracer62]

and i will only be racing dom 2 if im at least 85%. i know better than to further injure myself, im going to say fck the appointment i have now and find someone else. i need to come back.

[bmxracer62]

ortho apt. 7/3

[captainlawndart]

god damn that sucks.... what is there like 2 orthos in your town?

good luck...

by the way Az and drkenan, i miss windrock, lets go back

[bmxracer62]

the last one was 8/8/08... dont think so! thanks, and ive realized im out for the season, if that changes, great, but im out! and im gonna be back trying to win am class next year! trying.

[drkenan]

You guys definitely need to come back to Windrock in the Fall. It's way too hot right now from what I hear. I hope to pay a visit to Diablo after I heal up as well.

bmxracer - if I were you, I'd drive to a better town to see an ortho. I can't believe they're making you wait that long.

[ROBSNUTZ]

Both feet came off my pedals on the Phantom Drop June 14th. Landed with my chest on seat and my left heel slammed the ground. Turns out luckily no broken heel just a contusion, be back in 2-3 more long weeks. Better than the original speculation of 8 to 10 plus weeks. If anyone saw it I'm sure it looked ridiculous :cheers:

[Mtblucaso]

thats what u get chris for not wearing any shoulder pads or a good helmet lol o and sry dude that sux but alot of ppl fall there so your not the only one

[iandude94]

i crashed into a tree mid-air on deviant, i broke my wrist
4 weeks till i can ride

[CraShRyDer7]

dude that really sucks. i think i talked to you before on pinkbike. well good luck with having that heal up. i think my dad had something like that and had a surgery to get that bone fixed up and normal.

well 6 weeks ago i nose cased the last lower dominion jump, and landed on my wrist were the tree to the right of the last jump is about. im out 3 months. but it half way through the recovery time. cause of it i had surgery to have a pin and a screw instaled. and stayed at the hospitol over night.

[iandude94]

yea i never talked to you before but whatever

[captainlawndart]

what is up with all the hardware in peoples wrists lately?

the worst thing about breaking your wrist is getting the range of motion back. your ligaments, tendons, and nerves all shorten up alot when you break any of the bones in your wrist.

make sure you go to physical therapy. i've been in it for 3 weeks now and i've gained back 25 degrees and 30 degrees. I'm still off the bike for another 2 weeks probably.

[demo9pro]

Yo dude, missed you last wknd. How's the wrist doing? Me, Keith, Joe, and the old man are headed up 7/16 for the day. Yeah, I bet you've been doing plenty of wrist exercises!

HA, wrist exercises, is that what you call it these days?!:banana:

[captainlawndart]

i hope to attend your birthday ride. 90% sure i'll be there, hardware and all.

[jerseydirt]

i just got the kind of pedal bite. i put a 4 inch long slice in my left leg. it hurt like a mofo. i was doing a fuf on a 3 foot ramp to a rock and as i was in the abubaca my foot slipped. i was probably what suicide feels like

[demo9pro]

i hope to attend your birthday ride. 90% sure i'll be there, hardware and all.

Hope to see you then, I'll bring the birthday salad, heal up!

[kyle_nelson]

didnt break anything but i fell on ripper and lander on my hip bone and it hurts to move my leg so probably out for a week

[iandude94]

ouch that sucks

[demo 9]

till next year, torn UCL just got surgery

[ska todd]

I'm STILL out of commission! Hope to be back up and running in time for Crankworx.

-ska todd

[jerseydirt]

yea so four guys got completely wrecked today. should be expecting to hear from them

[FOXROX]

4? that's an understatement

[jcaramia]

yea so four guys got completely wrecked today. should be expecting to hear from them

You beat me to it!:shocked:

[Runner]

What happened to the guy who got a helicopter ride after what I asumed was a nasty crash on Chute de Sachum? They were talking about skull injuries, eyes bulging etc, and a $20,000 helicopter ride :shocked::plthumbsdown:

[FOXROX]

he was riding this weekend.... it was good to know he was ok!

[FOXROX]

out for a few weeks. i have an idea lets make a new line on alpine, then close i with boulders in like a week.

[demo 9]

what did u do?

[jerseydirt]

what did u do?

to answer your signature. if you have the program you have to type grid. then lock. then your spacing. then you just drag your line to make a box

[konarider1283]

well...looks like ill be out for the rest of the season again
shattered my left wrist, getting surgery on tuesday
looks like ill be up to do filming and pic taking till im cleared to ride :thumb:

[Timekiller]

out for a few weeks. i have an idea lets make a new line on alpine, then close i with boulders in like a week.

Diablo didn't make that line... you should know better than to ride on grass. :poster_oops:

[jcaramia]

well...looks like ill be out for the rest of the season again
shattered my left wrist, getting surgery on tuesday
looks like ill be up to do filming and pic taking till im cleared to ride :thumb:
WTF?! What happened PJ?

damn pj, i heard about that.

heal up quick!

[IAMAPRO]

out for a few weeks. i have an idea lets make a new line on alpine, then close i with boulders in like a week.

Did they close the grass line into the second wall ride?

[Instigatr]

Did they close the grass line into the second wall ride?

Yes, they did.

[bmxracer62]

ill be up this weekend, i can ride. i have a benign tumor on my femur, one of the ligaments pops back and forth over top of it, i just have to make make sure its in place before i bend my leg or im completly done! im just trying to ride as much as possible before my surgery, prolly in about a month.

[IAMAPRO]

Yes, they did.

Ah, that sucks, you could kill that wall with that line, the other one is too head on.

[Polish Rambo]

yes, the pirate line on alpine is closed. after the recent rain storms, the pirate line became a "pipeline" for the water running down the mountain, and it directed all the water onto the trail just before the 2nd wall ride.

[FOXROX]

well i am not dissing you guys, but i think that there should have been at least orange tape around the corner so if you go towards it at least you can turn before the rocks

[konarider1283]

WTF?! What happened PJ?

took a nasty spill in Whistler. lacerated my spleen, got another concussion, and finally had my surgery on Tuesday for my shattered wrist. after getting surgery for almost double the time then they expected (5 hours instead of 3) they lemme go after the following morning. it was a good thing i ended up staying, because it hurt so bad they had me loaded up on various pain killers heh.
heres a pic from the x ray after the surgery

[ruler]

Shattered my ankle and foot on the 19th, out for the next year or so. I’m not even going to be able to put weight on my foot for the next 2 months... totally sucks

I got surgery on Tuesday. I have 2 plates and nine screws in my ankle. I am not sure of the specifics on my foot. I know I have pins, screws and wire in it. I'll have to get copies of my x rays when I go in for my follow up in 2 weeks. All I can say now is thank god for pain killers.

Got is done in Philadelphia at Jefferson Hospital. It's a whole group of sports medicine Dr's who are collectively called the Rothman Institute. Each Dr specializes in a specific body part. All the local sports teams use them as well as some out of town teams. I have had a few buddies use them for bike injuries and they all loved the results. I feel like I am in very good hands with these guys.

How about you? Sounds like you injured yourself in Whistler? Did you have surgery out there or wait until you got home? Did they give you a good recovery prognosis? I didn't get a prognosis yet. All I have received is worst case scenario... it's killing me. I just want someone tell me that I'll be able to ride my bike again.

[BrokenBob]

I thought I had it bad. I broke my hip on June 1st. Just started riding again this past week. Hope to be back at Diablo in September. Good luck with your recovery.

sounds similar to me. i got it done in NYC at the hospital for special surgery. basically the same story, this doctor works with local sports teams and is highly recommended. i broke it in whistler, but due to not being able to follow up with the surgeon i waited till i got home. if by prognosis you mean recovery time, i havent gotten any details yet. i should find out a wek from monday when they take out the stitches. hopefully im not out for too long

[JerZ_r1der]

Idk PJ, a shattered wrist with pins in it?

You're lookin at a month, at LEAST. :[


Glad to hear you're okay, minus all the other injuries.
You're a mess, dude. :]
