Knee surgery from CMW

Yeah .... good and healin' vibe coming your way. This thread makes me
want to be more careful .... but ride till ya' pop or tear.
Seriously though my wish is for good knees for all of you. My wife is
an aerialist and has been for over 20 years. Popped her ACL doing just a
hitch kick in a show, not even a hard thing but she felt it go. You just
never know so live big whilst you can.

I'll buy that! You'd only be 75 by then; I'd be nearly 93! I guess
I'll just have to compress those same 40 years of riding into a nice
compact 22.9 years instead! Shouldn't be too much of a problem, since
I've probably done at least 10 years worth in just the last 3 and
change!



Maybe we could start to refer to them as 'unicycle years,' sort of like
"dog years" Terry you decide what the ratio should be and we'll run with
it.

+1...........to everyone.



I mildly sprained my ankle in a UPD the other day (just meant I had to
take it easy for the rest of the ride).

I hate stretching, but I've been working really hard on w/ the
flexibility of my Achilles Tendon/calves for the last 9 months and I
think I'll be able to stand w/ my feet flat by the time I get to 1 yr.
I think not being able to stand on one foot is one of the things holding
back my progress the most, and before I can relearn that, I need to get
my heels down

-As some of you know I broke my back almost 9 yrs ago w/ major
paralysis in my lower legs, glutes, and hips, also tightened tendons.
My thighs and core are relatively normal and that w/ my baces (see
avatar) allowed me to learn to ride and then Muni.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist

What kind of UPD did you have that caused that damage to your knee?

Not really sure. Banged it up a couple years ago in a MTB UPD. Then
at CMW started hurting a bit Saturday on the Coker race. Quit the
race(first time I've ever quit at anything!). Then rode the long ride
Sunday with it getting sorer and sorer(sp?). 7 weeks now and no
improvement. Surgeon thinks it is an older injury aggrivated at CMW. I
did have a few UPD's there, so could have been any of them.

KH-and the whole community-thanks for the good wishes for tomorrow!

Good luck on your surgery, Jim. The muni has been kinda rough on you.

In fact, almost everyone from my original group of friends is racked up
pretty badly - it took almost 4 years of constant riding.

Eyal is just finishing a four month layoff (knee); Charlie just had his
ACL redone; Don's knee is cooked and he'll probably need a
reconstruction; my shoulder needs surgery from dislocating it during a
big drop/fall, and my MCL is stretched. Other than that, I've seen two
broken backs and countless other injuries over the last few years,
mostly on gnarly DH single tracks. Seems thy will get you eventually . .

Up here in Vancouver we're a bit of a mess right now! Frank just got an
MCL tear, Jon has an ACL tear, James has a messed up ankle, and I had a
minor orthoscopy 2 weeks ago.




At least no one can blame me for this mess - I've been surfing for the
last nine months!

Good luck on the recoveries Jim & everyone! The trails will wait.
