Between the two of us we might just have enough body parts to ride a bike together. The new name of the rally is the TW annual "cast-off" party.

I'm cutting mine of on tuesday, but, all i can think of using is an angle grinder, what did you use.

Hey it's been a while but can't you still soak them off?

EXACTLY

On an update... too my splint off yesterday... shit feels pretty good... ankle is swelled up just a bit. feels good though... just a slight twinge of pain now and again... but I've had more much more pain the day after work'n out.

You're going to end up like one of those old fuckers that complains every time it rains.

Ask me how I know.

I have broken the same bone in my foot (shattered it actually) and I'm here to tell you that taking the cast off and riding on it is not a very smart idea.

I have constant pain in my foot from having a cast come off too early. I have a bone chip and there are days when I can hardly walk. I limp a lot.

Sorry.

I hope this doesn't happen to you.

I want to use the bottom half of the cast as a splint for when I'm not on the bike, and I'm hoping they give me a new cast that I can use as support for just my hand when I am on the bike

Mr Lefty · 05-01-2009, 10:37 AM

well I hope not... but honestly... if it happens it happens... I feel good enough to ride now... and like I said... I talked to the ER DR. he said i was fine to ride if I got a brace and my boots were as restrictive as I said ( my A* SMX4's ) he said he's not worried about me making the injury worse... as I can't. but more worried about my pain threshold. and right now... VERY VERY minor pain.

just go to Rite Aid or Walgreens or something and get a brace with a rigid insert that you can velcro on and off...
