Have done similar bailing off a mountain bike a few years back. The prognosis seems real bad. Did you tear the rotator cuff and do other tissue damage? Get a second opinion.

Let me speak for Justice right now and say you can't wear those to work. You better get a couple of sympathy closes out of this at least.

Bummer man. I would think it wouldn't take that long to heel. Your lucky the tendon didn't let go.

I don't think my wrist is ever gona be the same as I can't rotate it to palm up flat. I saw the xray last week and a part doesn't look right to me but the doc said its normal. When I do get my palm up my elbow is at my navel. :?

I've been thinking about riding in a couple of weeks but wonder how bad it would hurt landing the first jump.

To bad you guys wouldn't pick a monday to ride there. The camper is off the truck so it would be easy.
