Stupid me....yesterday i was walking around in my garage with some sandles on....when i was going by my aircompressor, my little toe caught the egde and snapped my toe. Now it's completely black and purple. and it hurts when i have shoes on. Has anyone raced with this? or will the pain go away by this sunday? please help

tape it up and take some advil. You should be fine. Your toes don't really move in riding boots anyway.

Pain only effects those who allow it to, suck it up and ride.:D

Good luck getting your boot on, after that it should not be a problem. Then after the race or ride take some liquid pain killer.

what foot is it ur shifter or brake... bc u can probably live with ur brake foot just use the front more... i think u should be fine... james stewart raced with a broken foot last week in supercross

Toes are like factory plastic. If you have a complete set, great, try to keep it that way. If you get a crack or broken fender, you're not gonna let a silly thing like that keep you from riding are you?

Ill have to agree, it probably depends on what foot its on and how much pain you can take.. Defenately keep it taped tho, itll help a little..

It's on my left side......but i think i'll be fine...aside from it being a little crooked, it doesn't hurt to bad...just when i put the shoe or boot on. after that, i'm good to go...i can handle the pain.

and H**L no i'm not gonna let that stop me from racin'....what's gonna stop me is the fact that i have two days until the race and i don't have my cam.

well...i made it to the race...and it didn't bother me at all. it was a little soar afterwards, but nothing i couldn't handle.
