some helpful advice from me to you.

if youre out for a few weeks with a broken arm, dont try and ride.

i broke my scaphoid (bone in my hand) a few weeks ago, and not riding has been killing me, so i decided to ride on saturday.

i have a fibreglass cast on, and everytime i moved my hand the cast would rub on my skin and give me some real badass cuts on my hand...... plus it wasnt really worth it because i couldnt do some tricks when i cant hold the grip properly.

anyways here's a pic from the night i broke my hand (270 at redcliffe)

Lol the worst injuty thing i had on a pushy was when i went for an icepick down this rail/box and missed it and landed on my coxyix or what evere ( arse bone) and that hurts like a mother ****er

hey eightball..iv just gotten over a scaphoid fracture and it is still not properly healed after 5 weeks out of a cast...i can now ride proply but it still hurts...best of luck to you on your recovery and seriously...give it about 3 weeks of rest after it is out of the cast because it realy hurts if you bend it to far back or forward and it hurts to put presure on it...!!

cracked ribs is a ***** but any serious injury is bad news its tempting to ride when ur hurt but its best to let it heal and takes it easy
shin guards rock
and primo tenderizers suck if ur not wearing any

i think my worst break would have been when i was about 3 or 4, i fell off my bike n onto sum metal thingo, i ended up getting 2 metal rod thingos placed in the bones on the outer part of my eye, i still got them and when u get a heavy heavy magnet, sometimes it can stick!
my last break was a chip off the bone in my nose from a stack on a dirt ramp, still kinda sore n it happened over a yr ago
