Fin for protecting my Tinkler. Joey C and Yanna for providing super support!. Looks like Sean C coming to the rescue with ambulance service and air fare. You guys/gals are the best.

cassandtim Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Bryan, Just came across this and am incredibly sorry to hear about it :(. I just got back from Hawaii and am slammed with work but if there's anything I can do from here just give me a call on the cell. I look forward to talking with you soon. Take care and heal up quick!

tex1230 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Heal up fast, Bryan! I know that Tinkler boards require regular workouts, so Just ship them out East and I'll keep them flexing for you :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Packing up. Headed to Denver Airport shortly. Hope to be home late tonight. The kind thoughts and words have been really important. Thanks for all the encouragement at the Bomber Banquet last night. This is a great group of folks. Thanks, Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoom Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Awesome! Good to see you're up and about a bit. Hope you have a safe and reasonably comfortable trip home. We were among the many people making turns for you yesterday, and we even took a picture of a couple of old snowboards in your honor! Look forward to seeing you in a few weeks. r & b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the generous offer. My arm pits / ribs are pretty sore right now. Need to ice and elevate. Hope I am up to it by OES.

Guest GQuentin Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Glad you are home safe and sound. It was great seeing you at the Banquet in such high spirits. Nothing can hold you back!!! Thanks again for all your knowledge and advice. For a newcomer to plates you truly are a teacher and mentor to this intense sport. I hope to see you at OES. 1st round on me, Quentin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks Quentin for the kind words. The "Reality" of a broken leg and all of its limitations has started to settle in. Trying to carry something or only being able to be 'Up" for short periods before the blood swells the leg etc has made it hard. Support from friends and family is hard to take yet essential and humbly accepted. I am down but not out. :D I would like to nominate you for "Rookie of the year". I have been blown away by your progress. Your enthusiasm is amazing and those you come in contact can not help but become a part of your program of improvement. I am most impressed and it has been YOU that made this happen. Thanks again. Bryan Little if any drinking my future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Glad you are home safe and sound. It was great seeing you at the Banquet in such high spirits. Nothing can hold you back!!! Well, I paid the 50$ , I had just got out of the hospital a few hours before the Banquet. I was anxious to see the faces and feel the vibe. It helped carry me through the night. I was pretty pooped when Larry got me back to Joey's. What a great group of people. Makes me proud to be a part. {broken part} Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy T. Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'm glad to hear you made it home Bryan. I hope you have a speedy recovery and are able to at least come hang out at OES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Bummer, I just flew back from Denver (Vail) this evening and might have been able to get your truck back home. Hope your recovery goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This community continues to blow me away. All riding improvement is credited to you, Mike and Bonnie, Don and Etsu, Buell and Rebecca, Tim, Allee, Ray, Joerg and Remo, Dan, Dan L, Greg, Ken, and Steve. Mike and Bonnie, and Buell and Rebecca let me crash in there homes, Mike let me ride Charlie Brown up until a week ago while I was waiting for my board, Don gives me lessons, Buell and Rebecca let me ride some of there boards from there Quiver, Bruce built me a bad ass board, Dave steered me into picking the perfect boots, I can't even begin with all knowledge everyone shares with me, and with 15 days on plates I have never ridden by myself. I really can't find the right words to express my appreciation and thanks. I only hope that I have the opportunity to help and guide someone the way all of you have helped and guided me. I can't wait to pay all of this kindness forward. It is a pleasure and an honor to call all of you friends. Carving Rules and so do all of you, Quentin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoom Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 with 15 days on plates I have never ridden by myself. That is awesome! You're a walking expression session! Don't sell yourself short. BrYan (note spelling!) is a nice guy, but he's also one of the most honest, no BS people I know. Can't wait to see you carve in March. Hey, Bryan - I bet a little rest has been great! If I know you, you've already devised quite a few gimp-inventions.... No climbing ladders on one leg, o.k.?

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Truck arrived in fine shape today!!! Won't be able to drive it for another 5-7 weeks, but it is nice to have it and it's contents home. HUGE thanks goes out to KIMO!!! Thanks for donating two days of driving to the cause. As a professional commerical pilot Kimo responded to my question about how the truck drove. He said, "Fine, a little heavy in the rear on the slushy areas". Good call KIMO. 12 snowboards and two pairs of skis, 2 tool boxes , extra 6 bindings sets, 6 pair of boots etc, etc etc. Thanks again for your care and generocity.

lstzephyr Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Good to see your moving around and got your truck back home. I was your broken carver roomate at aspen valley. Your enthusiasm is impressive and I definetly feel your pain. You never know how much you use certain joints until you can't. I have had to plan out how to move certain things and how to do stuff that is normally so simple. Since we are both bionic titanium infused men I propose a race! First one to heal wins a beer at the next ses! Hell I'll buy you a beer(or whatever your preference is) either way. Heal quick. The nurses were really cute huh? However they gave me pain drugs so I would have thought they were angels no matter what.:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks Allen. Good to hear you are doing well too! You can drive ok? I broke my left arm last year, it was no fun either!! Thanks for the stoke!! PS, Yep, couldn't believe how hot some of the nurses, pt etc were!! Aspen I guess? Take care.

lstzephyr Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I can drive well enough. My truck is a stick so its interesting but beats getting bumped on the bus. My arm has finally stopped hurting and I'm starting to get some flexibility back. I'm back to work(well "work" I don't do alot but I can watch the lifts) and figuring out how to do stuff so I'm definetly doing good. They tell me 6 weeks or so. I think thats just aspen. Its crazy sometimes, there are beautiful women everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
