I am guessing a broken collarbone has to be the most "popular" dirtbiking injury... so I just wanted to post a little poll to see how true it is. Amazing it only takes something like 12 lbs of pressure to break your collarbone. Red and I are both members of the "club" of course. :debil:
Never a collar bone (knock on wood) but I have broken a few ribs, a bone in my hand, some fingers and my foot twice. All of my broken bones have been while riding :(
I streched out my ring finger past my middle finger with a door when I was younger. As far as riding goes, I'm great at crashing but so far I haven't broken any bones.
Most of my broken bones came from an assortment of bicycle racing crashes.
One Collar bone, five ribs, four fingers, right hand broken twice, one concussion, one cervical compression and about 4 square feet of scar tissue. :eek:
Last time I checked there was still bits of my blood and skin clinging to the surface of the Northbrook Velodrome. :scream:
I had to start riding dirtbikes again just to stay healthy :)
Myself, the kid and Dilbert all are on the dirtbike related list.
Collarbone was one of the last bones I had not already broken so I guess it was time due in July:(
The kid has broken 3 arms snowboarding and collarbone MXing. He has also broken fingers riding
Dilbert broke his collarbone and 2 ribs at DW03
Right arm, both bones, in half, 2 Ti plates, 12 screws, awesome scars, and left wrist, 3 places, same time, same place, BMXing, whole lot of morephine, lots of drugged up nintendo time.
