hi all,
some of you may remember me, play a bit back in 2012 but had to stop, so sold all my gear but im back well sort of, I had a bad motorbike crash in 2013 that put me in a wheelchair and the prospect of not walking again, its been a long 18months since then and due to not believing a word the doctors say I'm back on my feet all be it with the aid of a stick if im going up and about for a while, The doctors also said that there was no way I would ever ride a motorbike again, due to the damage to my spine, sorry wrong again, I sorted with a mate having his bike off him 3 days after the crash while still in ICU lol I got to admit I was in a mess but I needed to get past that if I was ever to ride again, so after being in hospital for about a couple of months I got home, first job sort out picking the new bike up ready to start work on it, and from my wheelchair rebuilt it from the ground up, now 18 months later I'm still getting a good deal of pain and still have cracked bones that wont heel but the pain meds keep it a bay to a degree.
list of damage from the crash lol
damage to myself including:
Left ribs 1-8 broken
Left Distal clavicle broken
Left Scapula blade broken
Manubrium - sternum
T4-T8 transverse process broken
Left Communited illiac wing broken
Right femur broken the ball joint off
Left ulna broken
Left Kidney lac grade 2
Spleen lac grade 2
Left lung contusion grade 2
Left pneumothorax & hemothorax
anyway back to paintball
I'm now playing with Team Unlimited although not able to play yet as soon as im fit enough i'll be back out on the field when I can, so now to get kit again but due to the crash I cant work so cash it very very limited at the moment but will be on the look out for dirt cheap bits of kit to get me going again,
already sorted getting my old Custom green Etek back and got an old halo that needs a speed feed, also sorted a carbon bottle but needs 1.8k and 7.5k burst discs and still have my old kit bag other than that nothing lol
will be after etek parts/upgrades, barrels, so if anyone has any old bits taking up space give me a shout,
thanks all
