Thats what happens when you treat a moto like a downhill bike..

[Ride.Dirt.Wake.]

Wearing full armour, WR450F landed on my leg after hitting a loose rock and over the hangers at about 50 - 60km/h. Fractured fibia and tibula, clavicle and some possible fractures in my foot. this xray is two and a half weeks after the accident.
Enjoy.

ooooh that must of hurt, whats the recovery time, when can you get back on the bike

 

[Ride.Dirt.Wake.]

Until yesterday I was in a cast, not on crutches for another four weeks. After that slowly starting to walk again, will be around 12 weeks by the time I can start to ride again.

I hope that plate in your leg isn't permanent!? I know permanent rods are fun destroyers.

Shit Jamie hope you get better soon. I know how much getting a plate sucks had to get one put in my collarbone and still can't ride for at least another 2 months

 

[Nathan_S]

are you planning on riding again afer this incident?

 

[Ride.Dirt.Wake.]

Of course I'll ride again, but will be a little more hesitant on motos..
the nail and screws are permanent, unless the fibula doesnt knit properly, in which case they'll take out the top screw so the bone will compress.

With that break I would say around 4-5 months before you hop back onto the DH bike. Mine is probably half as bad and im out for around 5 months.

Hell Devo on the break though, prove me wrong, get well in 3 months!

I just received my membership as well. 3 anchors in my shoulder and my biceps tendon shortened and wired back onto my bone. Freaking reconstructions, don't leave much time for riding.
