I guess I'm just saying the same stuff as all of the previous comments, but it is always best to get back on the MTB. Once your healed up its always best to get back on and ride, last time I really stacked I was trying my first X-up but landed it wrong!! I kinda got skewed around and my elbow and my side took the brunt of it!! I now have an elbow with a great new patchwork of scars on top o the old ones and I could hardly move in certain directions for about three months with a suspected broken rib. But when I was well enough I went straight back on the bike!! It felt absolutely great!! Still I'm not gonna try another X-up for a little while!!

PS, I don't know about continental europe but in England there's a massive MTB and BMX dirt jumping scene and my injuries are far from that bad comparatively!! So you cant say that Europeans don't take risks.
