Yes, that’s right!!! On Saturday, June 14th, 2008, I broke my collarbone up at Northstar. I had been hitting Livewire and clearing it all and throwing down some whips when a few guys I was riding with decided to hit Boondocks.es, that's right!!! On Saturday, June 14th, 2008, I broke my collarbone up at Northstar. I had been hitting Livewire and clearing it all and throwing down some whips when a few guys I was riding with decided to hit Boondocks.
I came into Boondocks with a lot of confidence since I had gotten my Intense SOCOM tuned right and I was feeling comfortable on it.
I came into the trail pretty darn fast and was doing well until I hit, what the EMT's called, Big Daddy. I came in too fast, hit the lip, landed and got squirrelly. I realized this and bailed but flipped over the bars, landed on my right forearm and that's when I hear the loud "pop." I proceeded to use my right side of my body to cushion my fall on the rocks that are strewn about Northstar.
After a painful ride down in an EMT truck, I was unceremounouisly dumped off at my truck and I was able to tolerate the 1.5 hour drive home with some help from Mr. Vicotin.
Emergency room x-rays revealed it was a fractured clavicle and so on. I received a shot of something and it blew Vicotin outta the water!!!
Today, I saw Dr. Wall over in Orthopedics. He put me in a figure 8 brace and prescribed more norco. His prognosis is 3 months!!!!! 3 f'ng months!!!!! His reasoning is that he wants me to be 100% and not reinjure the collarbone and have to have surgery. Well, that's my story!!! I was all stoked about reppin' EVOMO, 661, SDG, Intense, ODI and Maxxis in late August while on my 7 day Whistler trip but that's a no go.I
