nothing broken

but a fair amount of damage to the ligaments. good news is i'm going in this afternoon to get fitted so they can fabricate a custom brace that will allow me to keep riding as long as i can tolerate the pain. the island is still up in the air, but the trials and transiowa seem for sure now. still contemplating alternative bar setups for trans.

Good luck with the Brace I was there twice last year. Seems often if I fly over the handlebars I jam my left wrist. The brace worked well on straight bars and wrist healed fast with brace keeping everything in place.

Crap! That stinks but I guess it could be worse. I you decide to go with a flat bar and are considering some bar ends let me know. I have a cool bar end that is super comfy I will let you try. We're talking comfy as in all day comfy.

Call me if you want. 319-415-6302.
