Denray Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 OK, last December I broke my back mountain biking. Fun times. Yesterday I was with two buddies riding the same trail. This photo is within 5 feet of where I landed on my head. It's a poor reinactment of my wreck, but it certainly shows my fool recovery![:-paperba Click to Enlarge 57.96 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 A poor re-enactment is better than an accidental re-occurrence. You flirt danger awfully close! Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Some might call it hubris. or just plain nuts! If I did that, I couldn't walk for a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Denny, you are nuts - tain't no doubt about it. Don' t have to worry about me trying that; I've never seen a bowling pin that could stand on it's head and I'm not about to try and be the first. FWIW, I too have recovered pretty well from my own broken back but there isn't any way I'm going mountain biking. I'd look like a clown on one of those itsy bitsy bikes. One bump and it'd be off to the proc doc to have him do an exploratory to find the danged bike. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denray Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I practice headstands twice a week during 30 minute stretch routines. Never know when you are going to land on your head, when you are me. [:-monkeyd I still get weird popping sounds in my neck when I roll my head around, but they are getting less.

hausdok Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I still get weird popping sounds in my neck when I roll my head around, but they are getting less. They'll get less but they'll never completely go away. The first time I hurt my neck vertebra was almost 40 years ago and when I roll my head around I still hear noises that sound like paper crinkling. Doesn't bother me much though; it's drowned out by the tinitus. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
