Moderator hurt

[nayther]

Dedmiston went and did it this weekend, per his facebook page broke his Tibia Friday in the desert. Get well soon Dave, bummer to get hurt so early in the desert riding season. Guess you'll be driving the lawn chair at future campouts.

I've done almost the exact same thing. Stepping on the wood in a firepit (while on fire) to show the kids it's not stable. It was but the rock I stepped on coming out broke my ankle. Scared the kids straight though 🙂

You are not alone and it's not even an unusual event!

Heal quick!

Well I glad you OK! Something stupid I did instead of staking my matt when I rolled it out in front of my toy hauler door. I put out four big rocks. Well that night the dog had to go pee and I didn't even turn on a light Duh.. and I kick one of those F'n rocks in my flip flops and lost my big toe nail.

I went the cage route and also kept my bike. While fun not as fun with my son on the bike and me in the Rhino. So I sold the Rhino and the bike and went to a KTM 300 2T.

With Age comes a cage. Although I can't seem to get rid of my cr500 just yet.

sure is an inglorious story though, would be much better to describe your get off at 50+ while chasing someone down!

But after the finger burn/ring thing I guess we should expect this type of stuff from you Dave.

Giving no quarter here!

Think you should start bringing pine out for your firewood Dave.

Be much easier for us to whittle splints, braces, and a pair of crutches. Also easier on your teeth should you fall down in convulsions and we have to shove a piece in there.

I'm here to help 😛

Hole = small depression... But the man had a ride to do and he stepped, I mean limped up and rode with his big boy panties...

It couldn't have been less glorious if I'd been beat up by a Brownie scout.

I was setting up camp on Friday night and tripped in a hole that a previous camper had dug and didn't fill.

I knew something was probably wrong because I heard a snap. I didn't think it was broken though.

So we camped and rode and had a grand ol' time all weekend. Then I went back to work yesterday. Half way through the day I decided I'd better get it looked at and went to urgent care.

The doc at Urgent Care said it wasn't a sprained ankle, but a broken leg. Then today I saw a specialist who told me in so many words that I get extra credit, because it's a bad sprain AND a broken tibia. Yay me.

So I get this cast for the next three weeks. They'll change it out and we'll talk about the plan after that.

Fill your holes when you pull out of camp. You never know when a fool like me will stomp through camp and do a brodie in the hole you dug to level your rig.

you sure are a tough SOB Dave!! Kudos though, way to ride the weekend out and not let a little sprain and broken tibia ruin your weekend. :C :B
