Thanks guys! I honestly was scared to ride for so long...... I wasn't even planning on riding yesterday but my friend came over and dragged me out... and I'm glad he did.
I think it might be the angle of the camera .....and possibly a little bit of flexing - Boxxers are designed to flex a little bit for superior tracking... and I was slamming into the berm as hard as I possibly could for being on an unfamiliar bike!
Post a thread about your new build, curious to see what you got going on. Also, how was it coming back? I was off the bike for 10 weeks when I broke my collarbone, and was very nervous about how I would ride when I got back on the bike. After about 3 days it was like I never stopped riding, and felt like I actually might have been riding better than before. Wondering if you experienced something similar. Anyways, keep rollin!
Youthful, good genetics and being intelligent about recovery by ignoring doctor's orders and proceeding with walking/other activities as soon as I was able to
For example - they said cast for 4 weeks..... I used it for one before I could walk somewhat with no limping.. doing stretches and light exercises (using my bodyweight only - like lunges, squats, etc) everyday...Every bit of "new" medical advice I could find about sports recovery is the sooner you can do something, the better.. Unlike most doctors advice which is isolate, ignore, and rest.
I probably could have been back even a month ago - I just wanted to give it extra time to heal.
Today I pretty much have no symptoms of injury other than my tibia has a little bit of "give" to it from my PCL being stretched... pretty happy how everything turned out.
Great to see you back on the bike! Quick question, how was your impression of the makulu? I'll be building one up soonish, I read reviews and such, but would still be nice to hear the opinion of someone who I know rips harder than most.
