Hope you have a full recovery[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Just goes to show, it can happen at anytime, no matter what your riding or doing.

That does sound kind of dumb, ... getting hurt while turning around in a street. That is usually the way it happens though. In a decade's worth of desert racing I have never been hurt in a race, but I have been hurt a few times while doing something almost as simple as what got you. I blew an aterior cruiciate ligament while riding to the starting line one time (now that was dumb).

Hopefully you will have a speedy recovery, and in a few days you will be able to sleep at night without thinking you're going to die when you roll over in your sleep. Been there, done that, ... get well soon.
