yep, that'll do it. it took me a week and a half to recover from a very badly sprained ankle i got after i jumped into a hole... matter of fact it was about 20 minutes into my first ride ever, on my TTR125L. i hit a bank that is supposed to be a berm, but i didn't know that, and the other side was a huge washout with vertical sides. i jumped up like 10 feet or so and fell into a 6 foot deep "canyon" it was a washout for water, and the sides were near vertical. all in all i fell about 15 or 16 feet and slammed face first into an outcropping, sort of in a very bad bear hug, while simultaneously landing on my right foot on a rock, the rock rolled, my ankle twisted, i was off of it for a week. another 3 or 4 days "tenderly" getting it used to the beating i give by jumping BMX. : you'll be up and running before you know it. in the mean time browse the site and get to know some of the people here and join the posting madness. try to beat Woody_CRF i dare ya

Anna,
Please take care of that sprain. The ligaments get streched and torn when that happens, Use lots of icing and start doing some stretching and walking in about a week to ten days.

You can beat Woody by posting a whole lot while you are recuperating. He is the reigning posting champ Don't let this stop you from working towards a dirt bike. Keep your chin up and good things will happen for you.

First off WELCOME TO ATM!!

Glad to have you aboard anna!

Sorry to hear about your ankle, take it easy and keep it iced good for the first day or so, ligiments hurt bad, in some cases they hurt worse then breaks.

Take care and I hope you get better soon!



BTW, in order to surpass Woody, you must first pass me.

u were supposed to come riding with me remember so ur pasrents would know that u liked it cuz u did it more then once...........i love u and we still need to piss off the neighbors by starting da 250! (they have a goose that goes off at 6 am every morning: try to stay off it (ankle) for a little while but then like that guy (sorry i haven't memorized the names yet) but then start again so u can give ur ankle some rest and ICE ICE ICE thats wat i did last time i got hurt.........

Glad to hear your ankle is feeling better.

[Woody_393]

Doh! That does suck, I hope you feel better soon.

As for passing me... You can do it, it has been done in the past. But you better get to posting. Then again, you still have to pass Motoman, and that is a tall order. It takes all I have to keep a head of him.

Well, welcome to 3000 Woody.

[anna90]

Today I could kinda walk but it kinda hurts cause my foot is all black and blue so walking is like when u have a bruse on ur arm and then your brother punchs you in the arm hard.

Sounds like you blew it out. OUCH, that does hurt. Eash time I blew mine out, it hurt for at least a week, sometimes more. In fact I hurt it so bad once that it still hurts to this day if I bend my ankle too far forward. Not good!!! Hope you get to feeling better soon.

[anna90]

Thanks 4 caring

[Woody_393]
