Get off the MX track, Titanium guy. Enduro is as much fun and you'll see 40 without needing a wheelchair. Get well soon.

Say you hit and land the most insane shit ever...

How has the world improved?

Seems a bit excessive a sacrifice vs. the gain achieved

Only battle scars and titanium plates are the gain here

I had a co-worker who was an avid dirtbiker. Broke both wrists and had to spend two months slowly typing using only his index fingers by moving his whole arm at the shoulder. Then he did it again the next year. We were working for a small company at the time, and after his second injury, all our insurance went up. Everyone blamed him. He stopped doing the crazy shit after that.

His advice was to always go to sports medicine doctor. Normal doctors consider their job done if the bones are connected kinda where they should be regardless of actual function. Sports medicine guys only consider their job done if you can compete again in whatever your specialty was. Hopefully your doc(s) have their shit together.
