Baketech · 06-30-2009, 08:09 AM

I lowsided on a patch of water and dislocated the little toe while running through the bathroom on Friday afternoon...

TornadoBait · 07-02-2009, 11:40 PM

Thanks for the pics and good to see you at the event. Hope your digit heals quick.

CBR929RE · 07-03-2009, 01:11 AM

good to finally meet you. nice pics but why the hell was I so wide in the bowl. must have been trying to make sure no one blocked me out of the photo.

seamus · 07-03-2009, 03:05 AM

OK. So how many did I get? I saw one that you posted...

holly hanging off Bret-they should use you as an example for body positioning for new track riders

-nice pics-Baketech-cant wait to see more

-and heal fast-I had a similar injury recently-while chasing down my speeding 2 year old. Splint the toe to the nearest uninjured toe-it helps reduce the pain a lot.

ONEvcs · 07-03-2009, 10:16 AM

Nice to finally meet you.

Good pics.

I hope your toe heals well.

NorthernRR · 07-03-2009, 10:32 AM

Nice pics. Great to see you again.

Hope that toe heals well too.

abtech · 07-03-2009, 11:13 AM

To complete the week in tribute to BakeTech, I broke the second toe on my right foot trying to navigate around all the hospital furniture in our living room. I can barely get a shoe on as it is now larger than the big toe.

Good times were had by all . . .

yeah the body position really came along nicely this year. finally got it where I want it. Gotta thank Bwhip for that as it was his teachings that got me where I am. but now the bike is more upright (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) so I didn't get a knee down even once. not that I did it much before anyway. I gotta remember to do some stretching before hand though as my groin muscles are feeling it now.

SheepOfBlue · 07-03-2009, 01:43 PM

My body position improved by a µradian though I think I lost ground from '07 as passenger sheep was not on providing ear lean....

Though I did drag a leg on the raised apron through the bowl

My dog stepped on my sore toe today...his new nickname is John Glenn, as I think he did several orbits...

Aw man, Abtech, hope that toe heals quickly. Yours too, Bake! Great seeing you!
