Well the story gos........
Went out for a good afternoon ride with a mate to a place we had made some new jumps and had just linked them all up to make a cool little single track with a few airs you could get around in about 30 seconds.(making it bigger slowly)
We decided to hit the hiway on the way back to get some breeze and cool down as we are riding in 30+ degrees (celseus), second to last corner and as i was going around about to straighten up put a little too much throttle and lost traction with the back and went flying and ended up with a broken wrist and torn ligaments in my shoulder.
after i got up off the road and went to the curb my mate picked up the bike and put it on the curb on the stand and took off to get his car to take my to the clinic to get patched up.
after i collected my thoughts i got on the bike and started to ride home, passing my mate on the way to my place to be greeted by my missus in tears after being call by my mate. after a shower i went to the clinic to get some medical treatment.
it was here the morphine started and cos we where remote i got a care flight to darwin (taking every percautuion with respect to spinal and neck injuries which i didnt have luckly). after a few x-rays the surgen said i was better to go to adelaide for treatment, so onto another plane this time Qantas straight to the specialist.
Next day i was in getting a plate and 9 screws in my wrist and starting my healing process.
lessons learnt
-nobbies and sealed road take more care
-dont break wrist as it will kill the riding for atleast 3 months
- always go riding with a friend as if i could ride it could of been very bad few hours walking.
- morphine and endone great for sleeping
PS I was wearing all the safety gear (knee braces, neck brace, boots, riding pants, jersy, gloves and of course a helmet)
