Well it seems like bad luck is gonna follow me all year long if I keep this up. I just competed in the Salt Lake City round of the AST Dew Tour last weekend and now I'm writing this from my dr's office. I just got a cast put on my wrist and am waiting for my doctor to read my mri resluts. I'm really having a bit a tough time. I don't understand how I can feel so good on my bike but keep having these weird problems. I crashed in Salt Lake doing a lazyboy flip which I consider to be a pretty standard trick for me. I'd rather crash trying something completely new, that way I could at least understand why I'm crashing.

But crashing in scenarios I put my self in everyday seems a bit strange to me. This injury pretty much puts me out of a shot at the Dew Tour title unless something crazy happens and LG Action Champs is scheduled before I get my cast off. Soooooo I'm pretty much just in chill mode again, which sucks! I'm so sick of sitting on my couch with lame injuries like dislocated thumbs, sprain ankles, pulled groins and broken fingers. I've got this crazy feeling of unsatisfaction and anxiety that makes me wish there was a contest I could go ride right now! Reassuring myself with thoughts like, there's always next time, you can't win em all, these things just happen, etc have really lost their encouragement factor! oh well though I guess, what else can I do? Well, I just got my mri results and just a couple bruised and strained parts in my knee so no surgery needed! Woohoo! I guess thats something positive to consentrate on, right? I think that's enough complaining for now haha.

Hopefully next time I write ill have a win to talk about! Or at least not an injury. Peace!
