What happened man? That sucks..

Posted by: sampleez

i barely clipped a very steep landing on a double and it endo'ed, slamming me in the face of another jump

i also my collar bone from the sternum, which SUCKS!!!

the worst part is that the doc's won't be able to get me in for another two weeks, and it's already been a week.

my dad knows a retired orthopedic doctor, and he said they might have to go in and drill a hole in my sternum, so they can put it a pin to hold it together

That really sucks man. I bent mine almost that bad. I left it on the bike and bent it back with a large tube of steel. Just pry it until it straightens out. It will be weeker but atleast it wont be bent. I know how ya feel. I stocker new runs around $400.00

i might look into that subframe brace that i think rpm makes. it'd be better than nothin i guess

That sucks dude. As far as re-straightening it, I feel ya. Money is the problem but re-straightening it will make it even weaker since they are made out of cast material.
