ive got a m8 who dislocated his knee a while back (dancing in a club lol) and now he has to be carefull when he rides as oftern hoping up a curb does him in.........he went the way of keeping his bike and buying a camera, so he could still come out, ride what he can, and then take some awesome photo's he keeps him in the loop and still able to enjoy riding

stick with it man

get well soon

ouch! can u breath under water now? haha

I reckon you should ride m8. Get ya ops out the way then concentrate your efforts where they are needed in physio etc. Take things one step at a time, conquer one part of your situation at a time. Set yourself attainable goals and sooner or later.. you get there mon.

I have terrible wrists.   I cant hardly squeeze anything.
like a brake lever.   it takes all I got to grab a front brake with enough power
to make an endo for me.  and I could only do it 3 times before my wrist is dead.

years of skateboarding and being a stupid kid has left me with both my wrists broken more times than I can count,   and my doctor said he would not try corrective surgery on them for all the money in the world ,  as they are one gigantic mess of shattered bone mass that is fuzed together now.

that being said,   the human body is able to cope with alot of things.

and I ride every day.
and my wrists both hurt a bit,   but I can deal with it.
as I love riding.

both of my bikes are brakless,  as why would I need them if I can even squeeze a lever,
and both of my bikes are sub 20 pounders,   and it has helped prolong my riding sessions having to not lug around a tank of a bike on dead arms.

also riding styles can change,   like the other day,  I was doing hang 5 one handed,  using my front peg foot,   leg proped up against the grip,  and that held the bars steady enough for me to let go with that hand.
I find that I use my legs to  do most of the work for my perticular style of riding,
and thats fine for me.
im not trying to be a flatlanding pro or anything.
but im hyped on riding,  and dont want to ever give it up.

have you seen those crazy dudes with only like 1 leg and a crazy prostetic piece that do running ( marathon running style )   one leged runners who are bad asses.
nothing can stop human determination.


one more thing,   a side note realley:
both my bikes use swiss miss handlebar.  they are light weight and feel nice
on dead arms.  ahha.   seriously,  I like em.  and cant realley ride any other handlebar.
give swisses a try if you get the chance to.

 Hope your arm gets better dude..You should try to ride definately,just make sure your not gonna cause further damage...They have wrist braces and stuff to look into that..

people, its mate not m8,

m8 sounds like a midlands highway or worse still haro's new flatland frame

if you are going to type like South Auckland school girls expect to be treated as such

Woz dat m8!? ha bout keepn wit da topic!!! dont even make me hav 2 reply 2 no further sarky comment or I is just gona have say:-

WHATEVVVVER!!!

Innit! 

Keep riding man. Sounds like you will need some physical therapy anyway. May as well be doing something you enjoy while re-building your strength. A friend of mine in North Middleton got TB about 5 years ago. It's no joke for sure.
