The girls were "larger" ladies and they were feeding on the haypiles. The lawnmower is his only real toy with 4 wheels. Those quads he posts pics of are his neighbors.

i had Renthal Alloy Bars but that really doesn't have to do with anything. it's all in the shocks. i'm either getting Triple rates or mine revalved real stiff. i broke my wrist June 8th and i just got out of my cast a few days ago. it was a compound fracture the whole way across and splintered down my hand. pretty nasty. my wrist still is very week but i'll be riding with my g/f this weekend so it's all good.:)

I Flatlanded from about 10 ft in the air on stock warrior shocks. I fractured my wrist, and 2 ribs, and some bruises on my tummy:(

That was about 9 months ago.

I broke my left wrist in 3 places jumping in the dunes I think at that time I had magnum/arrow bars on my bike.. I landed in a diped area and the bars jerked back into my wrist. I though I had just jammed it so I tried shaking it off oh my did that hurt.. So now I am faithful with the EVS wrist bace.. :ermm:

Broke mine racing BMX back in the day. Hit a guy in the air over about a 20" table during a race, went over the bars and off the side of the table and caught myself with my right hand from about a 15ft drop.

Im thinking that these heavy duty bars may not help your wrists?? break your wrist vs. break your bars?? Hey how can I get those wrist braces? I am definately gonna get some, but not till october or so because i may go into debt and i dont want to make anything worse then it can be financially wise (i dont even drive except when the automatic at the car wash i work at goes down, hey i get paid an hour everytime)

I broke my wrist 2 years ago. Landed front bumper first into the face of a 75 ft. triple, didn't even crash. I had Tag Metals T-2 bars then, they didn't flex at all! Now I use Renthal, I have felt them flexing and I'm sure they have saved my wrists!

I broke mine from flat landing from about 8 feet in the air. I have renthal 400ex cr bends. I didnt even fall off, i think it was from my bad stock shocks and the fact that my frame left a pretty dent in the ground. Got my cast off monday:ermm: , cant ride for 2 more weeks though:mad:

Being that I really just started riding a year ago and I broke my wrist about 3 years ago.

When I first started riding my wrist wasn't strong to pull in the clutch by the end of the day. And it would get extremly stiff. The best thing I found was to get one of those hand stregntheners. Not the squeeze balls but the metal and plastic things. (Just remember all the old 80's movies and you'll know what I'm talking about) I put that in the car and just did it while I was driving. Made a world of difference. My wrist barely bothers me now.

Oh, and I got 12 screws and 2 plates in my wrist.

I sprained my wrist and broke a small bone in my hand a month ago running TAG bars and a stock renforced steering stem.
Landed nose down and sideways off a 85' table. I stayed on but it twisted the bars so fast when I landed.......

Docktor gave me a steel brace and a wrap and I was riding in two days. I still wrap it when it hurts....

Sence then I have bought a Lonestar Anti-Vib stem and a streering dampner! Made a huge diffrence!!!

2 years ago the day before christmas eve I broke both of my wrist.I was hitting a jump 4th gear pinned and catching some pretty good air.You had to hit it going fast to clear a big trench.The last time I jumped it was in 5th gear mid throttle.I was riding my 300ex.I had some ITP wheels with wide off-set.So the bike was a little wider than I was used to.The last time I only hit half the the jump and the bike did a barrel roll.Naturally I stuck both hands out in front of me.Even though I was still going pretty fast I remember hearing a crack.That was the worst pain I have felt in my life.(I have been through some stuff to.I am not going to get into it.Let's just say I went off a giant rope swing into a lake.The rope grabbed something and ripped it wide open.Then I hit the water from 30 foot up.)


It still hurts to this day.I don't have any pins or anything.

I broke my wrist May 2002 while coming off a big jump. Landed sideways, slamming my Renthals back into my left wrist. Felt like someone stabbed me with a hot ice pick. Rode the rest of the day, went to ER two days later and they told me it was a sprain. Kept riding though and after a month I still had a sh$t load of pain, so I got a second opinion. Broken scaphiod (peanut shaped bone that supports the thumb) bone in half, which had stopped trying to heal. So, after surgery that included bone graph and screw, and 6 months later I was back riding. Don't have the same range of motion.

Handle bars had nothing to do with my situation, it was ALL IN THE SUSPENSION. Stock SUK!!! Bought Elka Triple Rates during rehab. Wish I would've had them last year.

Let me clarify.........I have PEP ZPS, but when the front bumper hits the ground first..............:confused2

Broke my right wrist landing straight into the backside of a 30-40' double. Tried to hit it in 4th gear, but there just wasnt enough room to get into the powerband, nor let off the throttle :(
I broke the big bone (cant remember the name) that connects the whole wrist. Was in a full arm cast for 6 weeks, then a short arm cast for 6 weeks. Total of 3 months, and I broke it right before summer, so my WHOLE summer was ruined :ermm:
