Oh my god!

Good news! I have been back on the bike three times by now, just taking it easy, but it's so nice to just get out to parks and chill with friends. My first time back on the horse was at Mike Michaud's jam at Rye Airfield earlier this month where I ripped Ballard's bike around the new section. I still can't really take a big bunnyhop, so not much went down. I have been to the last two Bath sessions and this week I brought my whip and did about 20 mins of riding. I was actually able to air the mini and do a few manuals, but I can't get too rowdy. I really forgot how to do everything and I'm still not 100% so I'm gonna make sure to wait til I am all all better to start re-learning all of my tricks (cause I have so many) haha! I love getting out there to watch everyone ride and its fun to just be around riding again. The psychological battle of "don't put a foot down" continues for me each time I even get on a bike, but thanks to Tyler, I'll have a roadie to ride come spring time and I plan on getting so strong on that thing that I won't even think about getting hurt! Fingers crossed!

Update

A lot of people have been ready for me to get back to riding and have been asking when I'll be good to go. I wish I had a clear answer! I am so ready to get back at it and the beginning of February will mark six monts off the bmx. I have completed physical therapy and have been walking and pretty much doing whatever without any problems. The doctor gave me no restrictions EXCEPT running, and hard riding. I still might need to have my knee scoped at the beginning February cause there could be a piece of bone restricting my range of motion. That's a worst case scenario, but it would only keep me out for a week. Thats basically the situation, I've ridden bikes, just not bmx bikes, and hopefully I can get back at it by the end of this month. Let the re-learning begin.....
