Out with injury

Well its official, I am out with injury and house bound for two weeks or more. It's one of those injury's that all us bikers get at some point in our riding but we can never quite get away from it, the sprained wrist. I have been off my bike for less than a day and it already feels like a lifetime, with our kids running round like little nutters and the Mrs hassling me to do house chores there is certainly no resting the injury.

We had set up a sweet ghetto bank to wallride and had been sessioning it for about an hour or more, I had tried wallride to turndown without much luck at first, just not getting the height or a good enough pop out. I tried it again but this time with a bit more speed but this time got too much height for the pop, hitting my shoulder on an high over-hang ledge which made me loose my balance and came crashing down, putting my hands out to brake the fall (stupidly, but we all do it) my hand went almost all the way back to my wrist and I got that instant pain and numbness of the dreaded sprained wrist!

So now I am off my bike for a good two weeks and needless to say I am not a happy chappy. Yes I have all the time to watch BMX edits, but this is too much of a tease for me, also with the dry weather coming out to play which has only seemed to have come out now that I'm injured... #SHITLUCK !!!
