The Place / Spine fractures anyone?
« on: November 16, 2023, 10:37:15 PM »
Who's had em and what did you do to get better?

I ask because I'm 6 weeks into recovering from T7 & T8 fractures after hitting a downed bike at Glen Helen (the last time I saw you there Phil).
My T8 is a "Chance" fracture and the biggest concern since latest MRI shows healing but 50% compression of the T8 has my doctor considering fusion...which I absolutely don't want.
I just scheduled a consultation with a REGENEXX doctor for possible PRP/stem cell therapy...I did PRP for some degenerated lumbar joints several years ago with decent results.
Enjoy your health boys if you have it!

While at the HSN race I noticed the flat track was open for practice.  After saying hi to Freddie and Donna I took a few pics.

So after NITRODOG's Motoxkidz race got rained out I cruised over to watch some HSN action.  My yellow vest and camera were not enough to get me past the ticket girl without paying the spectator fee but that's fine...gotta support the sport.  Anyway it's been awhile since my brat and I did a race like this and it was exciting to see the pits full of racing families.  Combined classes and double gates kept the track full of riders for the most part.

I saw and spoke briefly with RIDDLA...he had some good battles himself and looked like he had the start figured out....


It was challenging to me getting good quality pics.  My flash was woefully under powered for the overcast sky and the relatively limited lens I use.  I use the Windows editor for image processing and had fun playing around with trimming the edges of the histogram.  It created some flourescent-looking imagery which I kind of liked but I'm sure the pros will find fault with.  Still I liked how some shots came out.  Feel free to comment or share helpful hints if you like.  I'm always looking to improve.

I want to get my my Canon T5i "professionally" cleaned.  I got quoted $105 by a local camera shop (Torrance Area) to physically take it apart and thoroughly clean everything not just the sensor...that's body and all.  Reasonable?  Any better hook ups out there?  Thanks.

Participation in NITRODOG's series has been increasing lately so I thought some pics I took from his 2013 Fall Series held every other week, or so, at their now permanent home of LOMX (formerly Starwest) would be fun to share...

A rough 360-deg sequence.

Note pics flatten the topography. It is pretty hilly at eye level.

Main Track starting at NW corner...

After years of using disposable cameras for taking pics of my kid I finally acquired a loaner Canon EOS Rebel T4i to try out.  My kid rarely rides/races anymore so I have to practice on whoever I can find now.  I shot at Perris (Friday) and twice at Milestone (Sat & Mon) over the holiday weekend.

***UPDATE: Photobucket link to some albums from the weekend at Perris and Milestone...
(Let me know if any PR's are in there...I know I got Riddla at least, plus 50$Pit)
