So I was at the track training for some up and coming supercross races. Getting myself dialed in, riding really smooth, got my bike, my lines, and everything dialed in. I started going through the back rhythm section like normal. The first part of the section is a step-up tripple and I was pretty much top of 3rd on my 450, going for it as usual. Suddenly, right when im about to take off at the lip of the transition, my bike for some reason shut-off!!! It shot me out alone like a ball out of a cannon soaring through the air ready for impact. As I'm flying in the air about 35 feet, moving at around 40mph, all i can think about was my left leg and all the metal in it; So i bared right and landed on my whole right side. I was wearing everything including chest protector, leatt neck brace, and knee braces i just got. Upon impact, I was gasping for air for about 5min, could not breathe what-so-ever, layed there and waited for the track medics to arrive. When they took off my gear my whole right side was black and had bruises underneath the skin. I went to the er to find out I had no internal bleeding but fractured 3 ribs; 7,8,and 9. Its pretty much the most painful thing i have ever felt. You can't even imagine what its like not being able to breathe or take a deep breath.... anyone ever broke ribs?? any help would be useful, all i can do is take my meds and watch tv... thank god for my girlfriend! Without her waiting on me hand and foot, I would still be in the er having some stupid nurse who could care less take care of me.... gosh this sux

 

damn rob you sure get fucked up alot , glad you didn't hurt your bionic leg though ....heal up man and go easy on the pain pills

 

dam dude stick to the stuntin **** motocross !

I think he retired from stuntin for motocross. Heal up Buddy, I will send u a gift

 

wow, thats the worst pain! I cracked 3 ribs after I fell onto my bike after throwing it down from a wobbly rear skitch. I just had to wait it out, breathe easy, sleep on my back (which still hurts like hell) and take pain pills. I love MX too man, and I want to get back into it. But these type of consequenses keep me on the fence. Anyways I hope you heal up quick and painless! good luck.

 

You have the worst luck ..........Heal up bro

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA What the ****?????? IDIOT GO EAT CRACKER BARREL.........

ribs suck. years ago on my old yz80 i had a grip come off over a jump and i landed on the handlebar end. hurt like a ************, nothing you can do but wait it out. good luck man, look at the bright side, at least you didn't pop a lung!

 

whats up, i got blown up in iraq in 06 and broke every rib on my right side along with my spleen and right kidney and colarbone and eye socket and too much **** to deal with all at once but the ribs sucked the worst ....it sucks so bad, i know how you feel man... i know it hurts really bad!! but ill tell you some tricks that suck but help for a faster recovery... when you walk, dont tense up, i know you are naturaly going to want to tense up, just relax your muscles as much as possible.... take ice baths for the first two weeks, just get someone to bring you about 2 or 3 20lb ice bags dump it into the bath and chill (literally) for no less than 20 min... and up ur calcium intake if they dont have you on pills for that already... but dont over do the calcium... it can give you kidney stones... but all that **** will help you recover faster! im walkin proof... it took me only 5 months to get on a bike, but my ribs healed in 3.... hope it helps you bro, later

 

Whatever you do don't start to laugh. It will be the worst pain ever. 2 weeks after I broke 2 ribs I was laughing at something and it hurt as bad or worse as when I broke em. Take it easy and find a comfortable way to sleep. Heal Up

 

Heal up quick bro!! Hope everything turns out ok for you!!!
