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
