last year sprung my wrist and elbow so bad it took 4 months to fully recover. This year, second game, tore a quad muscle. Probably out for the soccer season but worse yet probably sidelined from longboard for awhile.

kiting doesn't injure me but the second I play goalie i'm injured instantly

Doh! Sorry to hear about this brotha. Torn quad muscle sucks. My advice to you, Flounder, is to start drinking heavily.

Thanks Steve. That's exactly what I'm doing right now.

Man that sucks!!! Like breaking my finger three days before JIBE.
As far as the alco beverage...
I reccomened Knob Creek, or Jameson Black Barrel :evil:

sorry about that..prioritize give up the goal
id go Three Floyds

And to add insult to injury it was when you were playing goalie! I pulled a hamstring a couple of times and it indeed sucks to be out of other stuff. Hopefully you heal soon. Maybe you can kite buggy?

i think its just a pulled muscle. today I felt much better than last night so i can probably resume most kiting activities. probably stay away from soccer for a couple weeks.

You're killing me Sean! "Miracle" is only the greatest sports movie of all time. "Now get out there and take it!"

great ! drive and adrenaline heal u fast as kite life passion will not wait.

Sean - don't do extreme sports like soccer. Stick to safe stuff like traction kites.

Seriously - sorry to hear about it. Hope you have a quick recovery.

Seriously, it's not like you get pulled around by kites on asphalt or anything...

I've got a similar issue! I have yet to injure myself kiting, I guess I pay a lot of attention to my safety.

On the other hand, this time of year my right arm always gets sore. We're winterizing irrigation systems and the cordless impact gun we use weighs like 20 lbs. Something about holding its unbalanced weight all day just ruins my forearm despite me otherwise being pretty tough and rugged.

Once it's sore from holding that tool, my forearm hurts so bad when flying handles unhooked, and it heals incredibly slowly. It was sore all of last winter and I could barely fly. That's why this year, despite being a die-hard handle flyer, I've got myself a depower to baby my arms when they are sore... must be getting old.

I'm sitting here soothing the pain with a glass of The Black Grouse. Yeah, it's blended, but I would need a real excuse to drink single malt on a Wednesday
