« on: July 20, 2007, 20:47:16 PM »

had the best week in my life riding cypress, fromme seymor and then whistler for 4 days. was literally the best time of my life. best place on earth. hoooowever, 3rd last run down whistler i was leading a train of my friends down dirt merchant and i got a lil zesty on the wooden kicker extension to one of the last gaps (20ftish maybe 25, so no a problem by any means) and slammed real hard lol. ended up benting my bars (ea70 monkeybars Tongue), twisting my 2nd day old 888 sl ata pretty bad (need to get replacement), and o yeh, cracked my clavicle too Tongue

o well, the week i had was fun, now have to get healing Tongue

I think we saw you outside Zog's just after you had done that, think I told you my brother did the same. He broke both his arms in the end, and now we're back in the wonderful place that is England. Quite a few people seemed to bin it on that jump, the takeoff didn't seem right for the gap to me so I never hit it, didn't wanna risk it!

yep, i broke both my arms!

right elbow cracked - told to use it as much as possible!
knee is still swollen 28days later, cant kneel on it!

that jump is so gay, im told its been taken down but im not sure, might be b*lls**t. i know most people dont like it and a lot of people ate dirt. they should redo it outta mud!

Hi all,

Just got back from Les Gets after breaking my right collar bone so your not the only one out there...

Nice clean break in centre but should take 3-4 weeks to heal can move arm all in all positions except cleaning teet washing hair and wiping arse...

Got a lovely lump were the two bones meet but not noticiable when wearing t-shirt

Anyhow good luck healing..

The first thing the radiographer said to me after i did myn was "mtb?"
broken collar bones are the most common biking injury. When you fall off you always seem to land on your shoulders which puts pressure on the collar bone until it goes POP and snaps. Ive done as well but it was a mess took 3months for me to heal.  Roll Eyes
