I managed to twist up my knee pretty badly at Supercamp yesterday afternoon and am now sporting a stylish 3' long leg brace and crutches. Gonna see the ortho as soon as I get back into Chicago.
I'm sure I'll be able to find some way I can help out at the track this weekend, but I don't think I'll be doing any riding for at least a few weeks.
#%)(*@#)*(@!#$)!@*$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Supercamp rocked, btw. Now I know why everyone practices on dirt!
Oooo.....

Couldn't have happened to a nicer gal.... Sorry, hon. I know what you had planned for this season, and it breaks my heart that you lost your shot before the first race. Oh well, I still luv ya!
Hey, didn't Miguel win Daytona on a broken leg? ;)
Kim,
Sorry to hear about that!
Have you checked with Cindy to see if she has someone working with her? Wasn't sure if you thought you could be up on your leg for extended periods of time - but it might be a way to be involved!
Rick
Do you think anyone would notice if I SQUEEZED into your leathers, stuffed a couple grapefruits in the chest area, and hid in your trailer whenever I wasn't riding? :o ;D
OOPS! That wasn't my "Out Loud" voice, was it? :P
Oh, MAN! Then I'd be out in Amateur Supertwins with CCD if he showed up! Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to give Cindy a call tomorrow morning. If she doesn't need any help, I've already talked to Tiff about scoring. (It's gonna take a lot more than a leg brace and crutches to keep me home on a race weekend!) ;D

I'd say you probably could drive the crash truck, but after riding with you in you car around BHF, I dont think anyone would be safe anywheres. ;D

Now we're going to have to call you "Krash" Berg-Olsen". :o ::) Would you like Bill Ritger's digits?
I've got a great Ortho Doctor in Hoffman Estates if you're interested!! Get well soon!

ROFLMOOOOO!!!
Feeling better already and heading to the Ortho on Thurs. Anybody wanna talk about the difference between RICE and MEAT before I swallow another 600mg of Advil?

Kim? Were you wearing a hot shoe when you took the supercamp school? Mend up quick OK?
Nope... and my boots were solid mud when we were done!
Is that the foot or ankle you broke? If you are going to do any more flat tracking make sure and get a hot shoe, I've heard numerous horror stories of people snagging there foot because of not having a hot shoe.
I know this wasn't your situation and the bike fell on you but just for future reference to help a racer friend out.
I'll be dirt track racing with Steven Nace racing this summer and I'd like to take the Super Camp to but 600 bucks is alot of race entries and a set of tires.
Nick - it's not cheap, but it's worth every penny. They're coming to Springfield at the end of next month. Check it out. www.americansupercamp.com
(it was my knee - and it's a sprain. With a little luck, I'll be at Blackhawk).
You mean RA.... ;)
Kim - nice mtg you in DE. Hope the knee gets well soon and that I'll see you in the pits soon enough.
Ice and heat.

Incidently for those who want a second opinion, the Supercamp was (i) more fun than I've had on a bike in years, and I enjoy racing a lot, (ii) terrific training for bike handling in general, (iii) by FAR the best value of the bike schools I've been to ($ per fun/riding time), (iv) the best school I've been to for giving racers/experience riders a bit more leeway and treating you like a grown up that understands you will suffer the consequences of your own judgment, (v) very well run, and (vi) the first time I've screamed with joy inside my helmet in probably 20 years. Go with a group of racer friends for ever more fun.
Quotethe first time I've screamed with joy inside my helmet in probably 20 years.
I scream with joy inside my helmet a lot more often than that, but I got a big smile out of your comment! ;D
Max, it was great meeting you guys!
Who's all going back in October or next April?
I think we're all coming back next April and making it an annual thing, I'm thinking about flying to Ca for the motard school in Oct, but hard to predict my schedule that far out.
