Jeezus christ man. Good to hear there won't be any permanent/lasting damage. Like already mentioned though, rehab, rehab, rehab. Sending +vibes your way!

Thats some scary shit. Hope you have a speedy recovery. This thread is a good reminder to be careful when I shred A basin next month

Damn dude...your one tough fucker! I'm sorry for the fall, but I'm glad to hear you'll recover and ride again. Posi vibes to you and your family Bro!

Thanks for the vibes guys. Everything is going good so far and starting tomorrow I can begin light exercising so I'm stoked to get that going.

I don't know if I'd say tough, more like stupid. A stupid ox that doesn't know enough to stay still after being injured.

Damn how'd I miss this? Hope you get better fast! How's the recovery coming?

This just reinforces a debate in another thread about doing straight airs of a jump... always always leave off a flat base.

Take it easy bro!

Well, my goal was to leave off a flat base

I'm doing good bro, I'm doing light workouts now, been banging the wife like a drum for the past 4 weeks, life is good. haha

I should be back to normal by this summer.

nah, just be smart and don't do stupid shit. I should have been fine but I had a momentary lack of judgement and got wrecked. If I didn't promise my wife and kid that I wouldn't hit jumps anymore, I'd be hitting the first kicker I see next year.

But I promised, so I gotta get my air time off hips and rollers now and really that will be enough...until I see Leo and Dave hitting jumps.

Good to hear!

Wow...not a huge one either. Scary to think a "small" jump can go so big wrong.

Tell you what though, there are comments in the thread about "only" a herniated disc. From experience, I would rather have a fractured vertebrae than a herniated disc. I have a herniated L4-L5. No cure, doesn't ever get better. My back hurts every day. Dawn to dawn, including when I sleep. Advil helps, lortab is better, don't let it limit me other than being scared to jump much more than a little.

Friend of mine broke his back, X-ray looks a LOT like yours. He was in a clamshell for 4 months, rehab a couple months after that, and he's all better. 100%.

This may sound odd, but be happy it's a broken bone! The only hard part will be getting strength back in time for next season.

Get well soon!
