Re: Injuries

Most common injury is bear trap and lacerations due to riding to close to hostile plant life. I’ve injured my SI joint riding an HT on rough singletrack. A few weeks ago a dog grabbed my leg and left a small laceration. Had to be treated for rabies. The worst injury was a rotational fracture of the leg which broke the head of the fibula off and broke the tibia at the knee as well as tore the ligaments between the tibia and fibula. This injury took me out of action for six months. Two surgeries and a few pins as well as three months no weight baring.
