Ok I was riding toads and fell about 3 turns from the end and became a pinball, hit the wall on the left and then over and down on some rocks, thank God for my helmet it cracked all the way through by my temple of my right eye I don't even want to think what would have happened if I was not wearing it. I came out ok I only have fractured elbows yes both of them are fractured its bummer.... can't open anything, can't drive, can't pick up anything, but after a vicodin I can type.. They say my elbow will heal fast. I think I need my training wheels back on my bike!! As soon as I can I will be back on my bike Mike said road for a while and then trails easy trails.. Bob and Mike are going to teach riding skills so watch out anyone want to help teach me some riding skills I think I need them.

We rode Toad's last night. I could not have possibly every have crashed that hard. Well, at least not last night. There was a little friend that kept me from gaining speed at any point. While Dave blew right bye the ittle feller, I came up fast and locked up just before I amost ran him over. SKUNK!!!!! He was a baby (maybe 6 months or so) and was acutually a cute little guy. We meandered slowly down Toad's as I followed, he made sure I didn't get too close and would speed up as I got closer, but he never got that tail up. Then I saw Dave's light facing back towards me and the skunk reversed on me! Ahhhhhh. Stil, no spray and once Dave turned around the Pepe LePew took an about face and wondered back down. I followed him to the end of Toad's where we went our separate ways. All and all I don't think the skunk ever fet too threatened, so he never got to the point of spraying. He didn't even hiss or screech or whatever they do first.

Hi, thanks for asking. Im doing good, I can now take a shower and wash my hair on my own, I can hold my coffee cup with one hand now thats a great feeling. I go back to the doctors on the 29th if she is not in labor, if she is I will have to see another doctor another day.. My wrist were x-rayed 2 weeks ago to see if they where cracked also, but the pain I was having in them was because of the tendens that where pulled at the radial head of the elbows. I had never thought about how your elbow control your arms wrist and fingers, I just took for granted that everything worked. I think in Aug I will be able to ride a little on the road and then work up to the dirt, then back down toads but this time with elbow pads on.

when I went back to toads the other day Bob and I think what happened is that the handle bars hit the wall, and riped them out of my hands that caused me to go over the handle bars and put my arms down to catch mayself and thats what cracking my elbow, hitting my head on a rock and cracking my helmet clean through. That is what we are thinking happen. Toads Wild Ride !!!!! humm lets do this again Still not back to work but hope to be soon, I have also had to take time off from school so I need to get back doing things soon this is driving me crazy.... Always ride with your helmet cliped and fitted right it will SAVE YOUR LIFE..

I have even crashed going to slow my back tire slid into a rut on one of the turns, that time I just had to clean the dirt out of my helmet I LOVE MY HELMET! I am scared of running into a snake I had not even thought of a skunk LOL oh I am such a chicken. If I see him out there I will call him my his name Pepe LePew. At least you guys parted friends so that when you meet again you will know each other LOL
