AlexM, how're the shoulders holding up?

[Dave Cobb]

Hey Alex,
at Port Elliott you were talking about your sholder dislocation problems. How's that all going?
My right shoulder is working well since the op last July; now it's just lack of talent holding me back.

Anyway, I hope you get yours sorted.

cheers
Dave Cobb.

Hey Dave,
Great to hear from you! The shoulder is still playing up, though far less since i've started fairly intensive physio ( that i should have started a long long time ago).

I have been riding less which has no doubt contributed to helping my shoulder heal. I am trying to motivate myself back into trials again, i am battling lack of time though. For as along as i ride i will have to do my exercises, which takes the fun out of it a bit.

I'm trying to keep away from surgery if at all possible but i'm glad yours is working out really well!

Alex

The physio's a better option than surgery for sure, but you're right, it's pretty hard to stay motivated to keep it up. I don't do enough of what I'm supposed to do. I'm just so glad I can ride again.

I hope you re-kindle the spark for trials; your videos were an inspiration to me and many others starting out; Previously I'd only seen Ot Pi doing a demo at a UK moto trials indoor event and thought he was awsome - I went surfing to look for info on bike trials, found your site and was gobsmacked that you were so good; just local lads doing amazing stuff. Through that I found Zoli and Steve Marsh in Adelaide, then Lindsay and Jolz. I went from thinking trials was the sport of Gods to thinking 'maybe I can do it'.
So thanks.

Looking forward to the new video.....

cheers
Dave.

we just ride for happy and fun :-)

found some pretty video-genic rocks, hopefully you'll be able to experienze them through your pooter.
