Two plates and sixteen screws later. Surely it wont take as long as the doc reckons to heal – 6-8 weeks. Look at Valentino Rossi, back on the MotoGP podium just 4 weeks after breaking his leg. I am inspired. Here are my X-rays and photos of my wounds.

So, I am back at home after my crash but properly sore and uncomfortable. Unfortunately i dont have my X-rays, they are very impressive. A huge thanks to Dr. Damian Thomas for sorting me out. Below are some pics from after the crash.

World Cup downhill/four-cross racer Dan Atherton had a ‘halo’ brace attached to his skull yesterday after suffering serious spinal injuries in a dirt jumping crash. Dan was riding at his local trails in Llanfyllin last Tuesday when he messed up a jump and landed on his head.

If this does not get you amped to ride nothing will.
