Rebuilt YZ, New Property = Broken Ribs

[Charles Owens]

We closed on our new property last week.. Finally got in some good riding time.
The bike is real strong and it showed, she threw me off and put me in check with some broken/bruised ribs.
This is the first time i've broken a rib.. Holy Shat, worst pain I have ever felt.
The good news, my girls finishing off my gear with a chest protector.
Even better news the only damage to the bike was a bent shift and clutch lever. Broke the visor on my helmet as well.

Ouch!

Hope You heal up fast.

Oh man... that stinks about the ribs!! Heal up quick!!

[Coop]

That sucks! Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Good idea about the chest protector  .

Told you this would happen if you Goon ride powerplay.  Jk Buddy.  Rib injuries are apinful with not much to do about them but wait. Have had a few myself.    Quick recovery brah.

Thanks guys!

Heal up quick, I cracked  3 ribs on a 97 noleen yz125 in masters class, down hill tripple to a slick right flat turn, a kx 250 railed me in the ribs. It,s a weird injury because it effects your breathing, I raced 2nd motos taking baby breaths. But trust me a back and hip injury with 24 hr. nerve pain is much worse, I,ve been going through this for weeks. Oh yeah I had a chest protecter on when the kx rail my side, his front tire broke the chest protector.

@ Super Trucker were are you from?

i jumped with a kx 250 on some dudes back,

 becouse he didn't jumped a double ,after the holeshot corner

[Super Trucker]

I,m in Wisconsin. The crash was a down hill tripple to a flat right turn, my front end washed out,then the kx railed me in the side by my ribbs. There was alot of water on parts of the track,one area was a  5th gear straight away that was under water,it was like pond skipping alot of fun, that,s why I raced the 2nd motos.

Later as you heal and feel better you will get worried about the chest congestion you will have . Get it checked if you feel worried but it is normal since you can't breath and cough properly with either a bruised or broken rib for weeks. It will be OK after a while. Please do not ask how I know this so well.
