    Just getting back into it. 6" travel was working awesome. Simple little get off, twisted the crap out of my ankle. Now I'm down and can't work(construction).

    Freakin sucks. Venting done.

    Bike is fine. Thankfully.

    Awww that sucks! I hate twisted ankles. Have fun watching youtube videos of mountain biking. At least you didn't break it. Heal up quick!

    That's too bad and sorry to hear. I wish you a speedy recovery as not being able to work combined with not being able to ride, especially when you have a new bike must be torture.

    The worst part is letting down the building owners that subcontract me for their business.
