With @Hunka Hunka Burning Loves 'Plus Member' status along with all of his other credentials including astronaut, pilot, physician, detective, judge, attorney, physicist, engineer, scientist, mathematician, athlete, sex therapist, etc, I believe he would be the most qualified to review each claim to make sure the photos of the injury are legitimate!

And no @litewave, that is not #8 wire - though it may have been recycled from an abandoned farm hay-baler. I may brag about it @Chris Westland, and with reason too (I think) - after I did it I got on a plane and spent 3 weeks touring the USA, before returning home to get that x-ray. It's funny as it didn't hurt at all, but did bruise just a bit while I was away... But it wasn't EUC related - it was one of those stupid hoverboard things... Two small wheels with independent drive is just asking for trouble! Ouch.. you do need to be careful about bone infections which is why it's good to get X-rays right after the injury...hope you are all healed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy has to be Russian, with the metal spikes in the tire and 30mph runs. It looks like a version of Russian Speedway Ice Racing but with only one wheel... and even more extreme I believe he is a Finn, as are several other great members on this forum such as @EU GUY, @esaj, to name a few. Definitely bleeding edge and inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Westland Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 I just discovered that I have already hit the distance to unlock my IPS Zero app... I get two new speed limits: 25k/h & 30k/h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite funny, as apparently that sort of break is supposed to be painful and inhibit most movement in the joint. But I had almost full movement, with no pain (which is why I had left it for so long). At first the doctor didn't think it was my x-ray , and he spent about 10 minutes making me try all sorts of movements while he looked at the image somewhat perplexed...

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Did your "doctor" have like a nice, printed medical degree hung up on the wall? Yeah, common newb mistake not to recognize a Type IIA noncommunited, displaced proximal fragment without elbow instability. I mean I tell my clients you gotta at least watch some YouTube videos before opening up shop! Com'on! These people just give my fake credentials business a bad name. Sigh...

As you are very much related to high speed quality motor bikes....i am wondering you choosed an Ips zero. Its not known as high or high speed performer! for an speed of up to 30kmh the batterie/BMS and the motor are just to weak!!! I will definitely be more careful in the future. I have read through the IPS Zero Review thread in this forum (thank you EUC Forum) and see some concerns, particularly with the earlier parts of the production run (and with 340 Whr models). It seems there were a few cases of odd behavior... maybe these have been resolved or not. The main reason for allowing 30k/h for me is to be able to have bursts of speed, not to sustain that speed (I'm a bit skeptical about running too far above 12k/h or running speed). From the reviews and my experience, I don't feel that there are build quality problems with the IPS Zero...it is very nicely done. But it is also very light, with a 14" wheel, so will not have the straight ahead solid feel of a 20kg 18" model. I liked light bikes (Yamaha R6 was my favorite and I've owned 3) so the Zero seems a natural to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Westland Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'd definitely like to travel North of the Arctic Circle, perhaps next time I visit Turku. My wife and I have always wanted to see Northern Lights up close (not the sort you see from Wisconsin, but the really dramatic light up the sky sort). I looked at the pictures of Rovaniemi on Google Maps and it looks very pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healing very quickly ... I fell after catching the right platform on a curb, and my left arm hit a rock and was dislocated. I'm still stabilizing the arm, and it is really bruised, but I should be back on the EUC in a week (touch wood)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
