Oops I high-sided myself to a broken sacrum.
To all of you laymen out there, that is the bone of the spine that articulates(creates a sinarthroidial joint) with the bones of the pelvis, and also is joined to the coccyx(tail bone).
Another dumb sh!t move by the number 30 rider.
Oh well, that'll teach me...I hope.
Bent the rt side fork but the triples are good. Broke the rear caliper brake tabs off and busted the fork
cap... weird injuries for this type of crash. didn't touch
the tail, or the tank. Oh and it bent the rear wheel.
The bike is in better shape than me! It should be back together by the end of next weekend. Sending the forks out early next week.
Tom Mason and I tried to rationalize the ejection by chalking it up to a less then optimal tire temp and some debris from the in and out of the dirt/grass
back and forth to my pits race start postponement frenzy. Just another great decision made during the on and off again rain filled BHF weekend. Oh well...
could be worse, I could have lost to Bryan Johnson!
Holy Cow!!! That kid was on rails! I'm glad that I was out of commission. He kicked some serious butt!
Kudo's Bryan!
Just goes to show that our amateur class last year was a strong one.
My butt is now the same color as my bike, black and blue. See you all when I can lift my left leg. ;D

Damn, I knew I should've bet you on lap times for Grattan. Let's see how fast you are now :P ;D
Just kidding.. good to hear your semi-alright. Could be worse.
Ben,
Damn what are you doin' to yourself out there?? ??? :(
Get well quickly...
Heal up quick man. So do you feel like you've been to prison? :o ;D
heheheheheheh... He said "coccyx!" Sorry you're hurt, dude. But at least it wasn't your cervex! ;)
MAN get well soon. But take your time and let your boddy heel right.

right there with you brotha...
I have a little more space now in my left sacroiliac joint(SI joint) and I fractured the spinous process of S1. Man you guys, I have never been so swollen!
I have a Ghetto Bootie (no offense) but only on my left side. I won't be able to tell if there is a disc herniation until the swelling goes down. I will then get an MRI.
Steve,
did you have swelling and numbness? This whole thing is just weird...I should have broken my arm or something. Anyway, thanks for the well wishes, and I will be around. I enjoyed working for Tom Mason mounting and balancing tires all weekend. If nothing else, I will come out with him until I am fully healed...but you know me, If I can get my leg over the seat, I will race!
Corner, I might come to Grattan to help Tom Mason...but I won't be riding. See you then ...maybe.

No, but it is Hell not being able to ride ;)
Quoteheheheheheheh... He said "coccyx!" Sorry you're hurt, dude. But at least it wasn't your cervex! ;)
And to think, I idolize your writing skills! ;D
Was good to see you there Chris, how are you doing?
BENJI!!! Damn dude! No wonder your butt was so swollen on the way home! And I thought it was that girl being a bit rough on you the night before over at the "dollar club"! That sucks!
You still up for Topeka? ;D
Heal up fast Benji! :)
Oh man.... That's tough. I'm sorry to hear it Benji, and hope you heal fast.
I'll post my own woes in a separate thread as to not hijack yours... :-/
QuoteAnd to think, I idolize your writing skills! ;D

Better than you, but only because I'm too broke to race. :'( See, if I had the funds, I'd be out there hurting myself too. But cornerworking is fun. I'll be able to make a few more races this year, but not quite sure where or when.
Take care of that cervex! You should probably give it a rest. I know you want to ride, ride, ride, but just let it heal first, OK? :D
Hey K3, did you get those pictures developed yet?
QuoteI have a Ghetto Bootie (no offense) but only on my left side.
"Ghetto Bootie", eh? :-/ >:( ::)
ROFL! ;D You're alright LT. ;) Fun and funny guy.
Seriously though, I'll pray for your quick and complete recovery bradda.
H-man
#42 (AM) -- Whoo ya!
Is it just me, or is anyone else wondering how he could tell what color it is? I'm not that flexible.
Heal up soon. I still have to race with you some time this season.
QuoteHey K3, did you get those pictures developed yet?
Did the finished roll, but that one didn't have the picture you're looking for on it. Be patient...

I just look in the mirror ;D
Sean, I think that I'll stick to the imperial palace for awhile instead of racing just yet ;)

The swelling is finally going down...but it is getting pretty discolored... kinda cool! I'm actually feeling pretty good. Thanks for the words H-man.
Benj.
Glad to hear your doing ok. If you get time before Topeka you may want to either get your hair cut or take the padding out of your helmet..............that fro is getting out of control....lol. Take care bud.

Stay on the gas Benji, you doin great.. maybe see ya at the ROC.

If you broke your SACKRUM does it make you're voice really high pitched? ;D
OUCHIE! No kissin' DAT boo-boo!
Get better, will ya?
QuoteIf you broke your SACKRUM does it make you're voice really high pitched? ;D
no, the doctor warned me about that too, but I would need to land while doing the splits to do any real harm. :)

Because you just never know out there and to avoid the pinching caused by being hard on the brakes, I always wear a nut cup under my leathers ;)
