The newest member of the MtnBikeRiders.com Race Team, Corey Pond, sent us an email stating that he hurt his hand. We figured it was just a simple sprain, but if you read his story and see his pictures, then you’ll understand that it’s actually busted.-RL Policar
Hey everyone,
Art, myself and some other guys were shuttling a super secret trail last weekend and were destroying it (not literally, but we were going uber fast)…until about 30 seconds into our first run when I crashed. But I got up unharmed and made it down about 30 more seconds when I got shaken off my line and smashed into a tree. It was another fairly painless crash but I looked down and saw that my pinkie was definitely facing the wrong direction.
While driving myself to the ER I was wondering if having a manual tranny was really a wise purchase. Anyways, the doctor said I needed surgery but I opted out of it getting a different doctor to set the bone in place. I go in for follow up x-rays tomorrow to see if I will really need surgery or not. Hopefully I should be good to come back in time for the October race. It’s not all bad though, I can still type faster than Art with one hand.
Well, we’re glad Corey’s injuries aren’t worse, but it sure does suck. Heal up buddy!
If he’s still smiling it cant be that bad right?
No XBox for a couple of weeks! LOL Heal up!
No, it’s not that bad…I got a green dinosaur cast.
