Oh Shit! I saw my cousin in that video! I admit it, I am part guido. Strawberry Patch anyone? (Only a select few will recognize this reference).

Jim, Marc just told me about your fall. Wow... that really sucks. I hope you have another hobby to keep you busy. Maybe you can give your time to JORBA or something. Im glad your not in to much pain. Talk to you soon son, Grampauke:
Thanks Grampy. Unfortunately, all of my hobbies use my arm
-Jim.
Yeah great idea. Even 1 handed we could use the help.
Heal up quickly, the race scene needs your involvement.

I'll come out if you can put me to work somehow. Last year I built a cyclocross course 1-handed

Plan B? While I'm still not so sure what this years MTB season will hold for me upon my return, I'd hate to not use all the fitness I've aquired. My numbers at this point are very good, I'm stronger now than last year before I crashed, and by quite a bit. I've stopped posting my numbers and rides through the months because I'd like to keep those numbers between myself, my coach, and my training buddies. I've also spent a HUGE amount of time on the MTB during base, almost 50% of my training hours, and it's paid off in spades. I've been able to replicate all of my road records from last year, on the SuperFly
So I've already throw down the idea of doing more TTs. It seems like a safer way to race without risking injury before my arm is 100%. One of my sponsors is very excited about that and has graciously offered to set me up with everything I'd need. I told him I'd like to race my S3 when it comes in with the Eddy class but he seems to think I'd be competitive with the big guys, I'm not so sure. But then again, I've never had the highest self-confidence
I'm going back to my doctor on monday and he'll let me know if it's a cast, or surgery...If it's a cast, I'm having my arm set palm down so I can ride

you're crazy
But you are a warrior. I do hope the arm,...and body heal quickly. Please add a Multi-Trace Mineral to your supplement regime. The one your need to look for is strontium. It's needed to creat more bone. Most people have enough of it, but I suspect you need more under the current conditions. Good Luck.

I got this stuff...
I'm not great with what's in this kinda stuff. I currently take a Veggie multivitamin, Calcium supplement, and Emergen-C everyday...I'm hoping this bone stuff will help a bit, I should take Pixy's advice and have a density test done as well...I've broken a ton of bones through the years, but I think more than not this one is only because I didn't wait long enough

No wonder I just seem to bounce when I hit the ground.
Although I think I had enough concussions to start thinking about doing XC next year instead of DH.Meat stuffed with meat, topped with meat and a dark beer - repeat - son! If I was your coach and told you it would make you faster you would do it.

Snap, crackle, POP!!
Looks a whole lot like last week doesn't it? Nothing's changed, at all. My doctor still wants to see if it'll heal on it's own before cutting me. We did discuss the cutting part today though. It's pretty straight forward. He re-opens my old scar and takes out all the old stuff. Then I get a new cut along my tricep to have a new plate put in lower down. We can't do a rod in this case because once he takes the top plate out, my humeral head will look like Swiss Cheese and be very easy to break...So we wait...Again...

Geez, Jim. Don't they need to get the bone pieces a little closer together for them to heal? Maybe they can push the sides together and fill the crack with Gorilla glue.

I never got it but it may fall into that "don't believe everything you see on TV kinda thing".
I'm no doc but how the hell is that supposed to heal on its own? I think you would at least need some duct tape.

You need some carbon fiber bones already!
Just get a shitload if duct tape, some crazy glue and you'll be fine.
Get better son-shine, the trails miss you.:cry:

I would think so, but he says it could do it, and being the blind optimist I am, I'll go with that. Being a car geek I'd rather use Bondo to fill the gap, and I'm actually surprised such a thing doesn't exist. What about dental fillings? Goop some stuff in there, hit it with that weird light thing, BAM!!
I saw the blueberry plant on TV. I almost got one and then decided I'll just go buy some instead
