Well, I'm the newest member of the broken clavicle club. Broke it today at softies. In 2 places. Thanks go out to Showtime, Megan Black and the other guy who's name I can't remember for helping me out. Also thanks to Mike for driving me to the hospital and waiting around. It sucks, but at lease I got a prescription of percocet - woohoo!

Ya...heard the bad news from across the creek. At least you got the 'goods' AND they're legal.:thumb:
We'll make sure to have lots of fun new stuff for you in the flow-section when you return. The tranny for the drop that we were working on today is smooth as silk.

Mondo healing vibes your way!!

I feel your pain. 3 times here. The first time's the worst.
At least you can ski and snowboard with it broken. A lot harder to bike...
6-8 weeks and you'll be back in the saddle.

Man, that sucks. I am sorry to hear it is broken. We were trying to be optimistic and hoping that it wasn't, but I guess we were wrong... I hope you heal up fast. Those jumps sure had their share of carnage yesterday... Guess it was going around...

Thanks for being optimistic, I was pretty sure it was busted, especially after I set the first break in and felt the bones scratching. I was having a good time too. I'll be back there though - not this year - I have to clear that third one.

Andy - yes the bike is A OK, haha.

Lumberjack - I was on my Bullit, damn full-suspension bikes! :)

yeah broken clavicle- not a nice thing. I've broken mine too many times (ok well only 3 times..but thats three times too many !!!)
a few words of advice.
!Never jump off your friends roofs, claiming that you cant hurt youself..
!Never laugh too much once your clavicle is bust -even low brow sex jokes r agony!!!
!Time is the best healer- i know thats the saying for a broken heart, but same rules apply here!
!Dont break it again!!!

I rekon we shud get a bit of a Secret hand shake going down, for every poor mo'fo who has a life time membership to the Broken clavicle Club
Then everyone else who hasn't broken theirs will just look upon us as sad bitter bikers, Thus they wont want to be in our club THUS we're actually doing them a favour by making sure that they wont break the C bone!!!
get the picture!?!! Plus i rekon sercet hand shakes are funny......

Hahaha - funny stuff!:D
I'm down for the secret handshake thing. I'm a non-member (knock on wood) of the BCC, but would be inspired not to join if I saw the 'pathetic' shake.
I think something that involves like you're about to do a shoulder bump w/ the other person but backing off at the last second and holding the shoulder would discourage wannabe memebers.:p

Good to hear the bike is ok at least, Loretto! You should be back to full-strength in time for the opener next year @ Whistler!!:drool:

Since I've been shunded away from all hand shakes and such as a kid i aint really too sure how to start one off. But im dwn with that idea, you got going... plus I would be DELIGHTED if we could maybe even incorprate the odd cartwheel here and there.. just a suggestion tho!

I still can't believe Five would go through all that trouble of breakin' hisself just so he didn't have to ride down to Port Orchard with me the next day! ;)

Glad to hear you at least got some good drugs.

Let me know when you're ready to get back into it and you can show me n.seatac and heal up quick so you can go own that line!

:D

haha - yep that's why I broke it, you figured me out. Hmmm, wonder what I should break the next time we're supposed to go somewhere?

Check out www.seatacbmx.org for directions to the track if you want to go and practice. It's a public track so it's always open.
