alright so last night i was hitting this dope rail of mine in my backyard because it finally snowed some in the midwest even though its been like 6 degrees.
but i was hitting it and then one time hitting it i was going pretty fast and caught an edge in the pvc and my edge just dug into it and i just went off flying and slammed my shoulder

recovery time anyone?? how long should i be ok.. the doctor said 6 weeks but im 16 and in really good shape, so any faster??

I broke mine about 6 weeks ago and I'm almost 100%.  Depending on the break, it could take more or less time.

yea my brake didnt look bad, it wasnt like where the bone completely spilts and one end is on top of the other.
mine is just split.
but that sounds tight. 6 weeks would be fine.
im still fucking pissed tho

it depends on how old you are
the older you are the longer it takes to heal
I broke mine when I was like 12 and it took me a little less than a month to heal

just be really careful and don't push it.  It's not worth having to wait another 5 weeks because you rushed into doing other things to soon.
