hardcore or hardheaded?

So, I escaped from my prison today. I took w/ me, my custom made crossover bar ,seat harness, 2.5 Flexi Rage and went to the "golfcart beach" to fly w/ 1 hand. Now ,as most of you know ,I have a fractured arm socket and am due in surgery on the 25th. So I figured WTH, after surgery I won't be allowed to do anything for a while.
I'm just injured , not dead or quarrantined or anything. , I'm going kitin'!:wee::wee::wee::o:o

I had fun for an hour or so. Looks like the crossover bar will be how I fly now. I was very easy to turn w/ one hand. And I even used my bad arm a little w/ no problems. It felt GREAT to be out of the house and away from the PC. :smilegrin:

Definitely Hardcore! glad you got out of the house to get some fresh air!:tumble:

I know what you are going through, it will drive you insane not doing anything for such a long time!
Talk to you soon!

2 years ago, i was squatting and deadlifting heavy with a slipped disc--at least until the chiro told me it wasnt going to heal until i gave it a rest--i did for a month and my back is stronger than ever--so i say GO FOR IT!!!

I figure I haven't been fixed yet. I have healed as much as I can, the accident was Nov 6. so I'm healed now , but it still hurts and I can't raise my hand or hold it out w/ any weight in it. Which is why I gotta get the surgery. Once they cut me THEN I gotta be careful of every little thing I do for a good while .And I wouldn't risk tearing it up again then.

Hard-headed :yes: good on ya mate!
I did something similar to my shoulder and just had to tough it out for a few years ... mostly ok now. Mostly :o
Crossover bars are pretty good eh :)

gonna take more time to heal plus slow into rehab to gain strength... good motivation for one handed sessions though, i 've done the same.

you could just not go . but what fun is that. take it easy its worth it.

It wouldn't be him if he wasn't going all out. one handed or not!

I didnt think you needed anything to make you silly...
Good on you for getting out, but take care man, dont make things any worse...

It's all good brother Mike, didn't do anything risky,just some light static flying w/ a harness. And yeah, the pills just multiply the sillyness.
