had my real first ride of the seasone tonight

Last dec 30 i shatered my femur by hitting a rock. Tonight a freind and I went out and did a little ridding just about a 20 miless of ditchbangen. It was a blast but i was a still a little spooked and a little gun shy of doing alot of hard riden. My leg did good but after i got home i noticed it is a little swelled up, but I can take the pain for the fun of the ride, it was well worth it. I am hopen we get a little more snow in the next few days or it atleast sticks around to take a good day ride this weekend. I wouldnt give up this sport for the world.

i understand how difficult it it to come back after a serious injury and ride 100%. i've gone through the same thing with basketball and sports in general. i found that after a sprained ankle, even a brace made me feel better - just knowing that i had more support made me more comfortable.

it will take time ofcourse to get back to what you feel 100%. push to your limit, but maybe not all the time.

and well said, wouldn't give this sport up for anything.

Glad you got back on the sled, I had a bad motorcycle wreck years ago, broke my neck and scapula along with tearing several ligiments in my shoulder and fighting blood clots for months. Anyway I was never able to get over the fear of riding. I would always ride timid while on the bike. Ended up giving up the sport, figured I'd run more of a risk riding scared than riding like I use to which was pretty agressive. Luckly the timidness never caried over to four wheelers or sleds.
