Wasn't he out for thumb surgery? Hopefully not the same thumb if so.
Same thumb, but just a sprain, luckily.
Ah, good. Thanks for the updates!

Thumbs suck. I got my pins out in late April and still working through pain/soreness at the end of the day.
That’s tough. Hoping it’s only a minor setback.
I have arthritis in the CMC joint I believe is what the DR said. I have trouble opening jars and stuff. The DR didn't advise surgery, said I was too young. I'm 46 and wear a Push brace now.
I fractured my metacarpal, landed a tabletop and the guy in front of me ate it. Don’t really know what happened but my front end washed and I felt to the left, the left side of the handlebar hit the ground and flung my right hand off the bars. When my right hand flung off my thumb got caught underneath the grip and basically was pointing back at my elbow.
My Dr. said if I wasn’t so young (happened the day before my 23rd birthday) he wouldn’t of recommended surgery. He explained how it would heal on its own and I would lose a lot of overall mobility and I’m sure the grip strength would’ve went with it too. It’s getting better by the day, but days where I’m running the hammer drill hours straight really irritate it, or catching it just right on an edge.
That sucks he was looking pretty good and i was hoping for some end of the year excitement.
He came for one moto and was already like "fuck outdoors" 😆.
Just kidding ofc, hope he heals up for SMX.
Better a sprain thumb than a navicular injury.
That sucks man. I'm getting out of the Army soon and will be a generator technician. I need to use my hand and run hammer drills to install ground rods and Unistrut to buildings. I literally feel your pain. I have trouble twisting a jar open when my fiancé asks for my help.
I originally hurt my thumb during a training exercise setting up a power plant in 2012. Last year we went to Winter Park, CO and I went down the Alpine Slide. I took a corner too hot and flipped the cart and bent my thumb. It jacked it up pretty bad.
Bummer, I want to see him back racing and in form. Firing his pistol over the finish line jump and shit
A generator tech, where at? That’s my field of work.
So funny you do it too. I’m so excited to get out of the Army and do it. I was a commercial electrician before my Army days.
I live in Northern Virginia. I’ll be working in Gainesville, VA. A company called Prime Power Services. They do everything I did in the Army, electrical testing was something I was good at. They have engineers that do the testing EGSA certification is a requirement within 6 months. I'm cool with turning wrenches.
I just dm'd you for advice man!
I replied, I have plenty of advice to share.
Pit Row
My advice is to go for a Milwaukee SDS if they’re giving you a tool budget. I’m Dewalt through and through, but I used a coworkers Milwaukee SDS and that thing was like butter compared to my Dewalt. Plus my SDS and regular Dewalt Hammer drill have honestly been the two most unreliable yellow tools I’ve owned. A quality set of work gloves with slight padding on the palm to cut down vibrations help a lot too, along with changing the bit as soon as needed so you or the drill aren’t working harder than you need to.
Congratulations on the new career, and Thank you for your service Sir.
Sounds like Coop is getting ready for retirement
I don't know. For a few laps he was hauling ass and looking good. Seemed common sense kicked in, whether due to his race fitness, realism of what is necessary, or what, he backed it down (my perspective). Then he crashed. To your point maybe he's thinking this years SMX paycheck will be his retirement bonus.
I want to try out the Flex Tools from Lowes SDS. I really that brand from what I’ve got so far. Can’t go wrong with Milwaukee. Thanks!!
