that its probably going to be a few weeks of physio and then hopefully back to normal, although I

in me...

You are a sick man.........

As Shaun mentioned I broke my foot on my BMX, where an under-rotated 360 (I'm still trying to
learn them) led to me putting my foot out on landing, followed by a "holy [censored] my foot
hurts". Could have been worse, ankle injuries take much longer to heal, just a bit bummed
I've missed so much

What's that? A 350?

Nah, you can easily ride out of 350, it's when it's nearer 270 that you get the problems.

I believe it was somewhere between 270 and 360, although with all the pain coming from my foot I
forgot to measure exactly. As soon as I am back on the bike I will try again and take more notice...
