[QUOTE="tnrider, post: 1117776, member: 43074"] not remembering anything about the crash is your mind's way of helping you cope with a traumatic injury - it just shut down for you. i have a similar experience with an accident a few years ago - still don't recall anything between starting down the hill and then sitting up from the bike on its side. my crash was slow speed too - walking pace (as far as i remember). i speculate that the bike stalled on a steep downhill which caused me (inexperienced at the time) to move too far forward which then caused the bike to swap ends. its not too unusual for a slow speed crash on dirt for even experienced riders - i have heard quite a few say so on this site and others. even now, i find that my bike feels more unstable at slow speeds than when i am in the power and the suspension is fully active. while you can get hurt on both road and dirt. i think there are more people killed on the road because someone else (car driver) makes a stupid decision. i can live with my own errors but don't want to deal with other's mistakes. i occasionally ride on the road too but i am always in paranoid mode :yikes: as for a frozen shoulder - you should be in physical therapy for that. if it is really frozen, they typically do "surgery" where they just put you out and then rotate the shoulder to break up the scar tissue that is causing the problem.
