The screws stick out too far, my ligaments get caught up on them, + i have recently decent sized 'something' bone, cartlige..not sure loose/floating round my knee :) but something clicks everytime you touch it too.

They were going to sort it in florida but told me I'd be off my bike for at least 3 months...No bloody way!!!

Turns out thats how long it takes for a Chirs King axel to show.

:noes:. good luck with that. demand a refund, the doc giving you a screw too long...:nono:

I got sick of snapping hanger and we always had a bunch of skewers hanging about.

Took apart one of those cheap plastic ended nuts, and took the spring out of the tensioner. Basicly the tentioner is the other end of my QR.

thats pretty sweet, is the bolt keeping the tension?

Yeh that adjusts tension...as you can see the hole thing has taken a beating...
Most of the time you can bend it back. Think i've switched out skewers two times now.

wow with a fucked up knee like that I have a good chance of whippin your ass in the upcoming comp.:hahano:

[tzimon]

Shit Philbert. Hope you get that fixed man. Red you've got your work cut out for you. Phil's a sandbagger..

Looks like I may be moving to Providence before the year is up. We'll see... either way I still need to get out there. If not to live at least to visit. Glad to see you're doing well otherwise.

Oh yeah... f everyone that lives in Colorado. No bitterness from Florida.. for serious.

And fuck rum.
Get some shots of this comp you've been talking about doing.
The woman has a request... back to the evening..
:hsugh:

Phil -- how'd you break your femur? I had pretty much the exact same break and rod/screws in my right leg from a supercross crash. Guy in front of me hit the brakes right before a big triple. I was setting him up for a pass by crossing behind him to have the inside line on the corner after the jump and had the throttle wide open, so I slammed into him pretty hard when he braked, flipped over the bars, bike cartwheeled down the track and hit my femur. Much pain, long recovery.

Are your screws still in? They took my screws out after approx 3 months if I recall correctly. I was walking again in a week and doing back to "normal" in 2 weeks. It took a year before my leg got back to where it was prior to the crash, though.

Phill, looks like your a 10 milliion dollar man, but the doctor put the decimal point in the wrong place and you only got 1K's worth of upgrades.

Redworm, this is our chance to take home the gold.

Phill, hope you get this resolved soon, dig the riding.

wee car accident....the metal won't be coming out, except the bits that stick out.

I was stood up after 3weeks, had to learn to walk again as I couldn't bend my right leg till after 4more surgerys, so like 6months after..then physio 5 times a week for 19 months after that...as well as 4 more surgerys. Still the right leg is way fucked up...but they told me I wouldn't ride again, and if Icould somehow manage to...I wouldn't be able to do tricks, or trials.....



....FUCK THAT SHIT....hahaha...I'll shred till I'm dead.
