I was in a crash a couple days ago and a spoke pulled through the rim. It ripped thru the rim pretty good. Is this worth trying to fix? Thanks. See it here http://screencast.com/t/U1V2BkVLOj

Wall hanger.

I would probably treat the damaged rim as WALL ART, too ...
[INDENT]But, you may want to contact someone like Calfee to see if he thinks that it can be repaired.+ to see how much it would cost to repair ...
[INDENT]While it CAN probably be repaired, you have to reckon that the cost would be probably be greater than the cost of a new CF rim unless you could DIY...[/INDENT][/INDENT]
[INDENT]So, YOUR best bet may be to take the hub and lace it to an alloy rim which has the appropriate number of holes drilled into it and create a training wheel.
