weegegirl 2 #1 June 21, 2004 Cuz he tried to ride a bike yesterday and took a spill. Looks like our freefly manatee may be out for quite some time with a f*cked up collarbone (how do you spell that?? ). Don't know the extent of damage quite yet, but it really sucks and it's really painful. He'll be home soon, so everyone tell him what a moron he is. We need to start a "Save the Manatee" fund. Heal quick McBrokenBones! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WrongWay 0 #3 June 21, 2004 I told him he needed to get that chain fixed.... You guys shoulda seen it.....pretty gross with this big lump o' bone poking around near his back....ew........ But hey, he took it like a champ, even gave a smile and a little chuckle. Rest up and take care of yourself bro, and just cuz you're broken doesn't mean you're not expected to come hang out at the dz. We're here for ya.

Slappie 9 #4 June 21, 2004 OH man I know first hand what it's like to break your collar bone. Get you a really cutie to help wash your back in the shower and get you dressed in the morning.

damion75 0 #8 June 21, 2004 QuoteCuz he tried to ride a bike yesterday and took a spill. What went wrong? Did he change bike type and size at the same time and then go riding in unfamiliar conditions? Perhaps there should be a checklist... Hope he gets better soon - that shit hurts!! *************** Not one shred of evidence supports the theory that life is serious - look at the platypus.

Nightingale 0 #13 June 21, 2004 ah. if the tire loading was acceptable for your experience level, from your account of the situation, I guess one could chalk it up to "equipment malfunction due to improper maintenance"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrongWay 0 #14 June 21, 2004 Quote and yes my tire loading ratio was adequate for my experience level. I think perhaps you were overestimating your own ability.

Vyxen 0 #17 June 21, 2004 It's a dangerous world out there. Now think, if you would have been skydiving, none of this would have ever happened. Good Luck, and get well soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #18 June 22, 2004 Dude....that really sucked. By the time I got over there you were this horrible pale color. I guess you won't have an excuse to tone down the hangovers for a while. Now what you need to do is put up a "Help Manatee Bathe" board in manifest. That way you can assign a differen't DZ Hottie to help you with showering each day. Lord only knows there are PLENTY of candidates up there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
