Injured Redrider58 currently down

Thanks dude! That's awesome, maybe I will be racing him eventually. I started an LED light company with a buddy of mine and will be releasing a moto series soon. So I will have just as much fun going to races and night races promoting our lights and we have a couple teams who will be running them this summer. Nothing to get rich off of, but it's fun and its something that I will be able to focus on since I can't ride for 6 months.



A men to that! It's a great sport and this is one of the more serious injuries I have had. My mom is a nurse and we were talking about how insane the advances in medical technology and all other sorts of stuff. They got a rod straight down my entire bone. Hell I can barely get a straight drill hole on a drill press.:smirk: Went from bleeding out at the bottom of a whoop waiting to die and a day later they have me walking with crutches.



Thanks broski!


Seriously, I love the whole dirt bike community, we are all so tight even though we are spread all over the world. Not sure if I'm emotional from the heavy amount of pain killers I am on, but all the messages and emails I get from strangers saying to heal up and they are supporting me. It's awesome and that's what makes the off road community totally awesome.


Start a new thread and tell us about this LED light shizzle. :prof:

I'd be glad to be your tester :smirk:
 
I'll take LED's for free. But nothing really is free, is it James? Sponsorship makes you have to put out. Not being cynical, just saying, and messing with Mr. SF. :smirk:

And he is putting out...

You said SF will be the "sponge bather" and I claimed that hey that's alright, he's getting free LEDs in exchange. :lol:
 
Got all 40 staples out and boy does it feel good to not snag my clothes on them anymore. Doc said I have 10 more weeks of no walking. I'm in the wheelchair until May 1st and then I'm on crutches full time. Possibly riding by early august and nerve/muscle/tendon/ligament pain should be over by October. Just looking forward now and want to be normal again :cry:

That is a bold statement.... Are any of us, were any of us, EVER really normal? :prof:

But I am glad your looking on the better side of things. Speed recovery...

I was thinking very similar. RR58 will never be normal as he rides dirt bikes! :prof:

Glad to hear you are on the mend and thinking about riding. Did you ever post what happened to the best of your recollection?

That's true, if you ride a dirt bike, you can't really be considered normal.

I don't think I did post up but I will right now. I didn't even hit my head, I remember it perfectly.

Came up this hill chasing some guys dust to pass and I finally saw him and I could tell he was tired because he was just rolling the whoops, and just from racing experience 90% of fellow racers that you catch up to, if they know you are catching up or that you are right behind them, they will wick it back up and its just a pain in the butt sometime because they won't let you pass, so you have to strike while they aren't paying attention and there was a perfectly clear line around him, it wasn't a sketchy pass at all. But I just hammered down and had it 4th gear just pegged, because I hate whoops and best way for me to not deal with the whoops is to go fast :ride: and get them over with. So I pass the guy and the trail starts to narrow back down and I try to get back in the line so I can square up to hit this root coming up, I guess I didn't hit it too perpendicular because the next thing I know is that I'm bucked sideways on the rev limited nosed down about to hit the bottom of the whoop and it whipped the bars out of my hand and stopped the front wheel and I went flying along with the bike tomahawking behind me and just pile drived my leg. Ended up with some good size gashes in my ass cheek and back. It was super bizarre because I've never crashed like that and I felt fine, I mean I heard my leg snap but it didn't hurt too bad and I felt fine. just wanted to get up and find my bike that was somewhere off the trail, but I see leg pointing the wrong direction and that's when the "Oh Sh!t" moment kicked in and I was just laying at the bottom of a whoop with my hand up waiting for someone to see me and not run me over.
