Why not just ride 1 handed? You'll still fall off anyway!

Recktor wrist guards were the bomb back in the eighties for skateboarding, one of those would support it a treat.

Ian said to say so 'don't shoot the messenger'

You this break (pun intended ;-)

this this this!!! Cant stress that enough,

Ill make a massive suggestion though, my friend is often breaking his wrist as he is an mma fighter, hes also done sports physiology at degree level and knows his stuff, buy one of those RSI wrist resistance weights, you know the ones that people call "w**k balls that are usually given to office workers usually typing all day) theyre a bit weird to get started on but its the best bit of rehab you can give your wrist, they cost a fiver and are well worth the money, if you use one everyday increasing how long for, you will really strengthen your wrist and will reduce your time out and reduce risk of it breaking again.

Oit you lot r just to funny, :lol:

I wont be riding for anothe 2 weeks at least & large, my bike hits clean park after every day out. OCD. so it looks new all the time. " cant stand krud "
ive just been on CRC to get a new 661 wrist strap. So better protected.
Really i just think it was fluke i came off there, IF i should of come off anywhere it should have been on my visit to PORC. i did far more demanding stuff.

MuZzA :high5:

Me being a beginner myself there may be better people to say this but I wouldnt say thinking it was a fluke is a good way to look at it, sometimes we can all be complacent thats why we have crashes sometimes but that is also part of the ;learning curve and understanding how our bike reacts to movement, Crashes arent fluke, If you crash its because something your doing is wrong, I personally think a good way to look at them is to analyse and try to think about ev erything that went wrong, I do this when I crash to stop it happening again, the best way to prevent crashing is to learn when we do crash why it happens

]

Ps. I also went to porc without having a bad crash and I I didnt have as good riding ability as I do now, and yet my worst crash was at danbury many weeks later, Misjudgements happen
