Five days before the scheduled trip to the US, this happened on a 8 foot gap jump at Sydney's Oxford Falls Downhill track.
A simple case of not "looking before you leap".
Prognosis positive, but 6 weeks in a sling, 10 weeks gentle rehab before the plate and screws come out, then 8 weeks solid rehab to (hopefully) regain full range of movement. Yep, that's 6 months before I can get on a mountain bike again!
Well, the upside is more quality time with the kids whilst on holiday in New York (and the titanium plate should make an awesome key ring!). However, the new Serotta stays in the box!
At the four week mark, I am going to hit the wind trainer hard.
Seems the Asolo, Katana, Repco, Gefsco and Frezoni are just going to have to wait.
