I QUIT THE SECURITY JOB. THERE WAS INTERNAL DRAMA I DIDNT WANT TO BE APART OF. IM DOWN FOR THE COUNT FOR A WHILE ATLEAT S 2-3 MONTHS WHILE IN THE CAST. I NEED HELP WITH PAIN CONTROL NOW. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO WORK SOON.Hyena said:Damn, such an innocent looking little bump too. Did you not see it, lose your balance and fall off the side ?
Having had 2 broken wrists from a trivial fall while doing a similar fairly slow speed I sympathize.
I take it this will put you out of action for work too ? Or are you just back to being on foot ?

I've never seen such dips used as a way of controlling the speed. They look massive in the video.icecube57 said:I THINK THE DIPS ARE THERE FOR SPEED CONTROL DURING DESCENT. THERE ARE 3 SETS OF THEM. THE LAST TIME I RODE THE TRAIL I HAD A FRONT HUB.

Yep, that's going to be in a cast for a while and you'll definitely need some orthopedic work, a few pins at the least. You might get away with a single pin in the ulna but the radius will require a few if not a small plate and screws. I'm not a expert in the area other than having a history of 3 broken wrists but unfortunately I don't think that wrist will ever be the same againicecube57 said:I HAVE TO GO SEE SEE AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON THIS WEEK TO SET IT AND SEE IF IT REQUIRSES PLATES OR ANYTHING. 2-3 MONTHS IN A CAST IS IN MY FUTURE.
