so tuesday they did surgery and put pins in my hand and a cast for a month followed by a few months of therapy.

i just want to ride again.
 
Holy Crap and a half there batman.. Suprised none of the "bobbies" hassled you off the curb in the city... If you haven't tried the central Jersey trails when you heal up, come down... You'll love em.

whoa. get well soon, man. i write software for a living so i actually use two mice to distribute the load on both wrists. it's a good practice anyway so you don't get carpal tunnel syndrome.
 
28 and been a pc nerd since 12, if i havent got carpal tunnel by now i wont. i may invest in some wrist guards and learn 2 fall better but im just bummed about not riding more than anything at this point
 
I was gonna say. I have gone shoulder first into trees at CR and skidded downhill for about 30feet in 6-mile on the Blue Trail and I am yet to break a bone. You guys fall off curbs and chill in casts. Crazy. Maybe the Gods are with me. Once this stupid rain clears off, its riding time baby.

BTW, Welcome aboard and hopefully we will see you on your bike again very soon.
 
heads of pins sticking out of my hand

removed the pins yesterday, rehab 12-16 weeks, getting back on a bike as soon as i can, i rolled around on the bike while in the cast, whatever, i'm gonna fall a lot better next time 🙂
 
yeah, now that the pins are out and i can wiggle the two broke fingers, just have to start therapy asap and go from there, i thought i was out of the woods but therapy isnt going to be a picnic.... thank god for medical insurance...

All got to say is work through it, it going to hurt.
I would use your xray as your avatar. Why not...😀
 
Wow! that looks nasty!
I'm still learning how to fall myself, it's a work in progress. I guess I've been lucky.
I hope your out on the trails soon, some of the best weather for riding is coming up
