Default Be safe out there...

group of us were riding Wood Canyon tonight and one of our buddy went down at meadows...carried too much speed towards the bottom and front tire washed out. Went to the ER and found out that he had dislocated shoulder.

I must say though he's a friggin trooper, we had to walk it out to the trailhead and it was getting late, he got on the bike and rode it out!!!!

Get well bud...

That hurts and I know

When I broke my right clavicle in two places I had to load my bike ( I was alone ) , Then drive ( a stick shift ) home , Once I was home I tried to get a pull over jacket off of me and I just couldnt pull it over my head , CPATCRASH came over and help pull it off , I can still remember the sound and feel of crunching bones

I sure now how your buddy feels Get well

Did he get the figure 8 sling

good news...got a call from his bro and the Doctor last night looked at the xrays and made his assement it wasnt a broke clavicle just dislocated shoulder. he's resting comfortably now w/ pain meds bruised and battered from them popping it back in place. I'm so glad nothing broke.

Indeed.

My roadie pal Andrew fell last week in the street near his home on nothing at all -- it was a total freak accident -- and broke his clavicle right in the middle of his chest. He's out 6-8 weeks at a minimum, and he is totally bummed. Glad dislocation is it for your bud.

Why yes I do! Alan is not only my hairdresser, but also my hubby's (1x1clyde) team mate for the 24hrs of Moab.

We spoke to him last night, while he was in the ER with his bro. Healing vibes to Howard from the Adams Family!
