Bigman Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 9 months, wow thats a long time, when i broke my wrist, around this time last year i was in cast for just under 6 weeks, then took a month off riding (realy hard ) i started riding again at the begining of march.What is it you have broken? my break was border line needing to be re-set (which i presume your operation was for) pic:As you can see it was the large bone (no idea on name) that broke, if you have broken the scafoid (i think) which is a small bone around your wrist i have heard that it will take a while to heal, ask Rowan he broke his a few years ago.As for staying motivated, as soon as i couldn't ride i got realy bored meaning all i wanted to do was ride, also i found constant fiddling with my bike etc helped, although when i was not riding my bike was cracked and i was waiting for a new frame so it was not so bad (as i could not ride). I would suggest maybe keeping an eye on vids etc on here, i know vids helped me keep motiivated to ride, and maybe go out on a few rides as a camera man, do some filming and take pictures etc.Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 hey man,look at ur bike everyday, u will be frustrated by not being able to ride but it will keep trials in your head. And you would be stupid to lose faith because u have improved soo much recently. After a few weeks (or when its warmer) come on rides anyway for the social side. U better be down for the DJ ride too! keep in touch man,regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
