Lowflyin Posted March 17, 2012 Report Posted March 17, 2012 Well. Me and a bro was ripping our bikes (yz450 and yz250f) down this gas line. There's a long hill that crests over and goes back down on the other side. We were going up the hill in 5th and I soared over the top about a foot off the ground. Well my front tire landed about 2 feet before a 16-18 " log and it was game over. Buck me off and I landed a good 30 ft down the trail along with my buddy behind me. Titanium fmf 4.1 is crushed, subframe bent and front rim bent. Other than that all is good. Crushed my elbow hard and back hurts but I'll be good. Moral of the story is look where the hell your goin before you crush shit.. Quote

Lowflyin Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Posted March 19, 2012 I get some up once I get on the laptop. Didn't get any of the log though Quote
Lowflyin Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Posted March 19, 2012 And the elbow was good but I woke up to find my ribs killllllll so hard Quote
dcalsv02 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 The worse part about broken/injured ribs, is you cant really do anything about it. cant cast them, brace them, splint, nothing. You can wrap them with an ace bandage, but i dont think that does much. when i jacked my ribs up last year, all i could do was try not to laugh, sneeze, or cough. only time heals the ribs. Good luck.

Also can't shit, breathe, move, eat, you basically have to lay in bed Quote

Lowflyin Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Posted March 28, 2012 He's just a friend, a "bro" lol but he's alright. Just a few scratches. My ribs hurt a small bit but I'm fully functioning. Right now I'm on a much needed vacation down in the keys Quote
