    I have that same broken left wrist curse:
    - 5 years old - roller skating
    - 16 years old - BMX
    - 27 years old - mountain bike
    - 37 years old - dirt bike

    The pattern is every 11 years, except for the last one at 10 years. And each break is worse than the previous.

    I now use the OTS wrist brace from http://www.allsportdynamics.com/ but I have not had any bad falls on it yet.

    the curse continues!.. DH'ing this past Sunday up on Pint Mt. road in the Pozo area. rear wheel washed out from under me, fell and broke the last bone on the left thumb. Kept on going and finished the run. Xrays yesterday concluded it the fracture. It didn't hurt to much being I was able to finish the run but will be out for 4-6 weeks now.. oh the joy! :bang:
