Well I just got my results back from the mri and i tore my ACL and miniskus. That means no pyhysical activity for six months. When I asked the doc about riding he told me no jumping off cornices or getting stuck so I'm a little frustrated. Is any one else in this boat with me?
Anyone else out this year do to injury

I was in the same boat a couple years ago, i tore my acl and miniskus playin hockey, i stayed off of it for a month and insurance bought me a really nice knee brace and i was back playin hockey a month later-sore but playing. good luck
Just got the cast off my foot a week ago. Broke it in a motorcycle accident. Still not 100% but better day by day.
Hopefully you can get back in shape earlier than the doc says. Knee injuries are tough some times (I have had my share of those too).
Good luck.

I might be in the same boat, had an mri done tuesday and don't findout the results till friday. Hopefully its good news but if it isn't i will find a way to ride
That's no good, i have ha a few of those acl surgeries... not real fun. Good luck and i hope ou have a great doctor to do the operation. I just seperated and dislocated my shoulder recently, alon with tearing my Labrum amongst other things. I am waiting for the sleddin season to be over with beofre I get worked on. But the ACL is a bit more hard to ride with, once again, good luck! Sorry you're going to miss out on the season
Broke my tib/fib in 3 places playing softball Aug 8th. Got a plate and a handful of screws holding everything together.
I have 1 screw through the fib into the tib holding things firm while the ligament heals. That screw comes out Oct 30th and Phys Therapy begins.
I'll be off crutches around T-Giving and riding by Christmas. I'll hold off on any strenuous backcountry stuff until my skinny, chicken-looking right leg looks normal again.

I got in a bad wreck with my horse on July 18th, tore up my groin and right shoulder. Groin is almost healed and waiting on surgery for shoulder, completely and partially torn tendons on my rotator cuff. I could ride as is right now just can't get into any crazy riding, but once they operate I don't know how long I'll be out for. It's a waiting game now.
was in your boat last year.
snapped ACL (2nd one same knee), BAD lateral meniscus tear that couldn't be fully repaired, and the worse was a micro fracture behind my knee cap. i was on crutches for 7 weeks due to that, and the CPM machine for over 30 days!
I've got the knew knee brace and itch for this season tho!
good luck, you'll get through it!
if you only tore your meniscus you could get a brace and get through the season and then have surgery during the summer..... just a thought.

Sorry dude, make sure you get a good brace for the future.. Either a prescribed one or maybe and Asterisk carbon fiber.. I was out two winters ago with new acl, pcl and torn mcl.. All new donor parts but am ready for a good year.. Just don't push it, get it fixed right, and let it heal or it will plague you for the rest of your life..
It is torn acl and miniskus so surgery is on Wednesday, but where there is a will there is way. Thank goodness I have a nice Boss seat beacuse when i ride there isn't going to be too much standing up.
wish you the best of luck with your surgery next week
i had a catastrophic dislocation to the left knee march 31 2008. took out acl, lcl, mcl, pcl, both meniscus, and deformed the tibial plateau. all from riding a supermoto bike at the indoor motocross park and misjudging a triple.
had surgery on april 18 2008, no weight bearing for 2 weeks for the meniscus repairs. started phys therepy 2 weeks after surgery. did therepy for 8 weeks, then the surgeon turned me loose for my own rehab.
did the stationary bike, recumbant bike, eliptical, treadmill (backwards, try it it works).
was on the supermoto bikes no dirt sections by week 6 (too early). waited 2 more weeks, got out of therepy, and got back on the bike dirt and all, started running (against doctors orders), yeah it hurt. raced first supermoto race at 12 weeks finish
2nd in prelim, 7th in main.
kept rehabbing myself all summer and fall, had a great prexmas ride in togwotee, and montana (thanks mtdream), only issue i had was slight soreness at the end of the day, and altitude sickness
you gotta want to come back. you need a aggressive doctor/surgeon with an open mind. same with therepy or do your own if you are motivated.
you dont have to sit out any riding, if you dont want to. goto www.thumpertalk.com look up doctor mark sanders in the health and fitness section. he has lots of good ideas and answers all questions. he is aggressive with surgery and therepy. most pro riders will be riding in 9-12 weeks.
food for thought.... we are at the end of the first week of october, 12 weeks is jan 1st. early season riding isnt the best anyway. get your surgery, get on your rehab. and set a goal to ride by a date of your choice mid to end of jan shouldnt be unobtainable in my mind.
good luck to you keep us updated. YOU CAN DOO IT!!!

It's over and done with.
Well guys i went in and had it done yesterday. I was able to watch it all on the screen, that was pretty insane at times. Everthing is going good so far. I do really aprecciate all the thoughts from you guys. Today I was able to walk around slowly without the crutches so now i am on the road to recovery. Right before i went in I had to stop at team bozeman and pick up a copy of TS8 so now i have something to keep me occupied when i am laying around all day. Thanks for all the support guys.

be carefull with the repaired meniscus. if they stitched them and not trimmed, or cut them out, you can tear the repair very easily. usually they say no weight on the repaired meniscus for 2 weeks. they heal slow as they do not have their own blood supply. so, in theory you could hurt the repair without knowing it.
use your head, and keep up the rehab. you'll be up riding before too long. good luck with the repair/rehab. ski
