So yesterday I fractured my wrist when a learner slammed into me, I'm willing to carry on and I can just about fit my cast in my glove, so I was just wondering has anyone done something similar and what advice do you have?
under no circumstaces is anybody takin me out, if its a choice between them getting really hurt and me gettin any hurt, it's them...lemme guess, the person that nailed you was not hurt?
ride on, go get a huge glove somewhere, or an OR type shell mitten
How long ago did you break it? I sprained my wrist pretty bad once. I don't think I went again that season, but it was my first year, I had only gone like once, and wasn't really passionate about boarding back then. It'd be a different story now. You're best bet is to talk to a doctor to see what the chancing of hurting it further in a fall are. If you don't want to do that, just weigh how much you want to ride against any potential consequences and live with the results.
Haven't been in the situation, but I know I would ride on. Just concentrate to make a fist when you fall and kand on that hand now as I reckon the fingers could be wrecked if bent around the rigid rim of the cast...
Take it easy and use the cast next time someone hits you Get well soon!
many years ago, I fell in a rock-climbing accident and broke the navicular bone in my hand. I had a cast on most of the winter (it sucked). I rode with a big mitten over the cast an that hand. It was abit of a pain, but way better than giving up a season.
if you break your navicular (scaphoid) during the season and you don't ride with that goddanm bullshit 3-6 month cast on, then you don't love snowboarding. :hairy:
the showering with a bag and a hand over your head is worse than riding with a cast on.
