Race: Page 2
Date of Event: October 8th, 2006 I was very excited for this race because I had just finished modifiying my bike. The morning of the race we did the poker run, or attepted to do it. I made it a whole 5-6 miles into the poker run and then wrecked. I was a dumbass and went off coarse to pass some slower people. I glanced over my shoulder to make sure I wouldnt hit anyone when coming back onto the coarse. As I turned back around the next thing I know I that I am on my way over the handle bars. Before hitting the ground I felt my foot slap me in the leg, thinking humm... that didnt feel right. Once I landed on the ground I found my self pinned under my quad. A few friends/ fellow racers came over and pulled it off of me. At that time I knew that my ankle was obviously broken. Later went to the hospital and found out that I had destroyed my ankle. I had several brakes in the ankle which required: 1 plate, 10 screws, and 2 washers to put it back together. I had also broke my leg right below the knee. Spent 7 days in the hospital, 2 months on crutches, 3 months physical tharapy. Now its a new race season I am all healed up and will be back out there competing again.
