    I'm out of action for a while though cause I broke my Femur riding the Shore Park at Esher. :cry:

    cheese fella.

    aye.. femur is nasty break, you do it clean or just a hair line? (either way that's not a nice thing)

    Something funny, (and this ain't cos i'm some uber hard looney or something) But I broke a tiny little bone in my rist about a month ago, didn't really know just had a stiffness in it, then had a big off at the skate park on my P2, involving my "gentlemen area". a week or so ago and went to A&E, when i there i just mentioned the stiffness in my rist, they played around with and x-rayed it. Turns out i'd broken my Skaffiod (not sure that's how it's spelt)

    not bad, just had to strap it up for a bit, the Doctor said I could still ride as long as i was doing big drops as long as i was wearing the straping.

    Hi

    properly snapped it clean :cry:

    Not really too sure what happened but my foot slipped off the pedal after landing one of the kickers and I think i got flipped into a tree.

    Recpvery time...... well it's been 12 weeks already and I'm still on crutches so I'm thinking it'll be a while before I'm back riding but hopefully it won't be too long.

    ouch... as yet not has any real breaks, nasty ball crush thing, but over that in a week. were some nasty side effects, but that's not for a public forum.

    no worries on the time back to riding.

    Me and a few mates are off to esher soon i think, when the weather is slightly cooler

    i've PM'd you with my msn as well

    Hey guys

    I live in the same area as the two of you guys and am always looking for people to ride with. I think I may have even been at Eshershore the day you broke your leg.

    If you guys are keen to meet up for some freeride/downhill let me know.

    Cheers

    No I was up at the top, near the entrance when we heard someone had fallen off and then we saw the paramedics sorting your leg out which looked really painfull.

    Oh right.

    Yeah it was (and still is) painfull. Grabbing my foot from up near my face and putting my leg back from being bent past 90 degrees at the break was something i'll never forget!

    Got your pm mate, have pm'd you back with my contact details :D Am deffo up for meeting up once i'm back on my bike but it's going to be another few months yet.

    Looks like I'm going to miss summer :(
