sidelined...

Posted by: Gully

So I haven't posted in little bit. So heres a run through on the passed little while, while I wait for my camera parts to come in.... So Austria was a prety rad course, killed'r with the boys had a good time.
Then we came home and were just take'n it easy shredding lots at home. We decided t o go to whis for the day durring the RedBull Elevation comp. The comp was unreal, the crowd was lovin it. Afterwards, Ross and I went up to Garbonzoidburger to do a few lappers. On like the third lap, my rear wheel slid out and I went down in a rock section. I was sitting there laughing to Ross because it was a hard fall but I thought I hadn't gotten hurt at all. I tried to satnd up and my right knee felt weird, so I chose to stay sitting; I said to Ross "Ross help me take off my pants." He was feeling a little nervous, it was only our third lap and all. hahahaha Thats awkward. So Ross helps me out and I take off my knee pad. I Feel aroudn to see whats up and I find out that my kneecap is broken; Ross doesn't beleive me so we call a truck to get me down......just in case. We go to Whistler emergency and I get my leg X-rayed promptly two hours after arrival. haha
Go emergency!!!
We find out that my knee must have hit something in just the right place, through my kneepad like a Daimond cutter. We find out that my kneecap has been broken right in the middle, sideways. So I have two equal pieces of kneecap with a clean break; I get Surgery the day after on Sunday, 2 screws are put in my kneecap and some wire to go around it. My knee is the size of a grape fruit. The first week of a break is always the worst, being on pain killers, not able to sleep and not wanting to do anything. Then the second week isn't as bad. I hooke dup my old super nintendo from years ago.......it's soooooo rad! I've been killing it in Super mario and Donkey Kong durring week two.
After week two, I wwnt to the Doc's office and he said I'm ahead of schedule, the break is healing well and I should we walking by week 5, riding by week 7...........STOKED.
I'm missing both the redBull District rides, Cankworx and MOnster park......I was gonna write some strong words about how mad I am but I dunno how well that would go over with readers so I'm just gonna say that I'm dissapointed and plan on killin it harder when I get back
Now at week three, I've been getting my tan on and swimming a bit, hahaha sweet!
I'll catch y'all later
Sorry for the shitty post! haha
