[QUOTE="KiwiBird, post: 167677, member: 17232"] Sorry to hear the news Firecracker. I have hurt myself very seriously on a few occassions and have experienced firsthand the depression/frustration you are experiencing. It took me 6 months to recover from my ACL/MCL knee injury and I was pretty scared when I did ride again. My advice, FWIW, is to buy the good braces, get your knee checked and do physical therapy (insist on it!) until the knee feels strong(er) again. Ride easy trails when you return until your confidence is back up. Remember how long you will be riding in your life - I have been riding for 27 years and have had a total of 2 years off in that time due to injuries (not all dirt bikes). The longest I was off was for a knee injury, even my broken hip was only for 14 weeks. I want to ride for another 40 years or until I die, whichever comes first. I know it is NOW,NOW,NOW that concerns you but think of how many more years you have, take a deep breath and try to rationalize the long term pleasure even if at the expense of the right now. Keep your chin up Kiwi [/QUOTE]
