Default Dear diary.

Just this last labor day monday I got shown some new trails at Bull Creek. & they Kicked ass!! After about a hour, up the trail, my rig was tipping backwards from a lighter battery, instead of the big 7.4 6 cell. Instead I used. a flat 9.6 8 cell aaa pack, weighed half the weight. About 1;/2 way up, my rig flipped backwards, & started to roll& roll,& roll, down hill ,hard! So, I went down after it, What happens, I lost my footing trying to save my rig... On the way down, I fell/rolled and broke my right forearm . what sucked worse , is I saw the bone snap & felt "the PoP" And wham !!!! bent broke wrist. I never caught the rig, Not Just a week earlier,a roll cage got baught for $25.00( a steel roll cage) and installed to protect it from, just this. I forgot.... The steel roll cage did it's job.The rig had less than 20 new dents in it,( i added alum. top and side plates.) The rig came out better than I did.. So. I'm going to post, some of the surgery/xray, pics from a dvd they give you for entertainment reasons. Maybe, a short vid So maybe ya'll will get to see, how commited I am So in about 2-3 days screws and a plate will be added, the doc wants me to start using it just after 2 weeks splint comes off (the plate is the cast,) I'll be out of the cast, and driving my rig(WWOOOOOHHOOO FREEDOM!!!!!!)I'll show pics of the new panels & Integy roll cage.
