Hope you heal up quickly. Did you do it while riding?

**mtngirl79** · 08-25-2017, 02:27 PM

Upper fibula, which is worse than lower, in two spots, but not displaced. ER Doc doesn't think it needs surgery.

I kinda slipped and put weight on it last night. I hope I didn't fuck it up, but it has a plaster cast split thing on now, and I managed to ride my bike out of galby and drive to the er without displacing it, so.

Not where it broke. My leg feels really good now. I did have some ankle pain and weakness for a couple of months but that's about it.

What trail Neil?

**NW_SKIER** · 08-25-2017, 03:02 PM

How did you break it, mgirl?

**ACH** · 08-25-2017, 03:12 PM

Vibes - mend strong and quick

**mtngirl79** · 08-25-2017, 03:14 PM

It was dumb. I went to pop off this little root drop thing that I would roll without thinking twice but i have been trying to drop all the little things to get confidence and timing dialed. I think I was late. I went over bars and some how my frame and or crank snapped my ankle.. like opposite forces like snapping a stick. I knew it was broke.

I have gone over bars a zillion times with nothing more than scrapes and bruises. I like scrapes and bruises.

That sucks. Best to ya during your recovery

I can't remember...it was 10 years ago. one of the newer ones around that time frame. It was on one of the bigger Hip Gap's. I didn't give it quite enough whip and nay nay and POOF. I put my foot down.

At least you broke it jumping your bike off shit. That's pretty legit.

No, like a curb sized drop. It was dumb.

**mtngirl79** · 08-25-2017, 03:25 PM

Think of all the food donations I could have gotten for our food drive if I broke it on the huck to flat flat ramp over food. If I have to have a broken ankle.
