On Monday afternoon I went to go riding w/ one of my buddies who has a track at his house. Everything was good, I was getting use to the track and jumps, etc. Then we came up w/ the brilliant idea to switch bikes. In case you don't know I have a 07 Z and he has a completely raced out 125 Suzuki. Well I jump on his bike and putt around for about 5mins then I decided to go around the track, Well as I was coming out of a turn in I think 2nd gear there is a Jump down and you probably get good 6ft air and go about 20ft. Coming out of the turn I was approaching the jump I gave the bike too much gas (as I really wasn't use to the twist throttle) and the back end of the bike slide out from under me right before I was going off the jump.
Me and the bike both went off the side of the jump into some trees and brush, etc. Well apparently I collied w/ a tree and who knows what else I hit. I was standing up long enough after I crashed to take my helmet off and then fall back down to the ground and realized I wasn't getting back up. My friend and his dad had to put me on a piece of ply-wood to carry me to the back of his truck and there I layed until the Ambulance got there.
I was in the hospital Monday through Thursday and now I'm some what walking on crutches. Doctor said it will be about 3-4 months before I'm healed up and can actually do normal activities.

The lesson learned in all this is, Dirt bikes suck! ;)

Hope you enjoy the X-ray.

Thanks, I'm hoping I'm walking on my own soon! I'm pretty determined so I think I will.

The doctor said it didn't require any surgery because where I have the break doesn't effect the stability of the Pelvis so basically It just heals on its own. :ermm:
