More *specific* details about his injury

richierocket (Jun 17, 2010 at 23:36)

Hold your horses buddy. The article just said he has seen three different doctors so far and all are telling him something different. I'm sure when they know, we'll know.

RE: Leogang Day 1 vid - That Troy Brosnan looks about 8 years old

Waldon83 (Jun 18, 2010 at 15:32)

I think he's 9. He was smashing all the elite riders back home in Aus though. So he clearly can ride a bike, fast. With some guidance from Brendawg and Sam, he you think he will be seeing podiums in years to come.

i have a friend who rides w/ a Leatt brace as i do, and he endoed and hurt his shoulder BECAUSE of the brace - yep, better than his neck, but Leatt definitely needs to do a re-design - anyone know of a brace [ besides the Alpinestar ] that won't create an injury due to the cup design resting on the shoulder? [ ps. why is it that almost everything posted on pinkbike seems to bring out the tude, anger, and potty mouth from so many...not breast fed? haven't been la** in a while? got a toothache? come on girls, put yer claws away and try to remember were only riding bicycles - i'd bet that everyone of you spouting verbal vomit at anything you disagree with has tiny gahones and are probably closet thumb suckers...hmmm doesn't taste too bad, wow, getting worried now, think i'll check out my nuts!]

jcinkits, check out the Omega nack brace. I have had a Leatt and Astars and now the Omega and by far think the Omega is the better choice. And yes the Leatt needs a redesign!

I agree, its the sport he is in, shit happens. You get injured, you heal, you ride again. Deal with it. Hope he gets better soon so we can watch his riding, because at the end of the day that's what interests us.

Wonder if the neck brace had anything to do with the shoulder injury? Hmmmmm...

dannybanks (Jun 18, 2010 at 3:11)

Im with you on that. its those bloody leatts, they rest on the collarbone and sholder more than others. i have nothing against neck braces as i have one myself. i have the alpinestars and i chose that over the leatt for that reason (among a few others). Hmmmmm...indeed

onterribleftw (Jun 18, 2010 at 6:32)

Its a shoulder, not a collar bone. Get over it and stop trying to beat a dead horse.

the-biking-whyking (Jun 18, 2010 at 20:33)

i kinda like my neck... better than my shoulders... just sayin'

dannybanks (Jun 24, 2010 at 12:57)

why not get an alpinestars and protect your neck without putting your collarbones at risk? just sayin, you know, get over it..

ruFFa (Jun 18, 2010 at 7:25)

I know what Sam`s going thought did my shoulder 3 months ago and the specialist told me 12 months and I mite not get all my movement back.Oh yer and there the constant f**kin pain good luck Sam you're a legend.

V10-conservation-society (Jun 21, 2010 at 11:58)

Couldn't agree more, but in a crash when the neck brace is not used to support the neck (luckily), the brace seems to icrease the chance for a shoulder injury. PS Not an expert

tysonb (Jun 18, 2010 at 10:47)

get well sam

ghoney1989 (Jun 18, 2010 at 13:51)

dereka15 (Jun 17, 2010 at 23:20)

true but its not like we're talking about some guy who runs 30th place every race, we're talking about Sam Hill, the guy who undoubtedly would have won almost everything this year had he not suffered some injurys, and as a fan i would like to stay informed.

Tom-moT (Jun 18, 2010 at 0:21)

tombutlerr the only reason why your gonna get neg props is cause your an idiot and i'm drunk. WTF does snapping his kneck (spelt NECK) and being in a wheel chair have to do with the price of fish? Every who follows the world cup knows Hill had a big crash and will have just read that brief update. Your ignorance is bliss, Hill isn't just some racer that has busted up his shoulder, he is the defending champion who was undisputedbly the hot favourite for the majority of races in this WC season and would have undoubtedly put up a good fight to defend his title. "not like hes guna die." Such graceful words Mr Tom Butlerr, shit if Hill did die from such a crash then it would have had a serious impact on the sport. I have no idea as to why i'm ranting soo much. I just think that I'm sick to death of idiots posting idiotic crap on pinkbike. Did you deliberately start your post with "i know im guna get loads of neg props" so you got positive props? You can't even spell slang words right let along simple four letter words correctly. OMG what is the world coming to? Sorry everyone for my rant. I'm just slightly drunk and joyous that lakers won in a closely fought battle and pissed off at the same time by shit unintelligible posts. Like, did you contribute anything to this Tombutlerr? No you didn't! So go back to your english class and learn how to spell KNECK! Oh and to you idiots that prop'd his comment the same applies to you. If you read Tombutlerr's comment and felt like your intelligence went up then god save us all. "I KNOW I'M GONNA GET LOADS ON NEG PROPS FOR THIS" - I COULDN'T GIVE A RATS ASS!

Sammy boy i hope you recover quickly. A massive blow to the season but everyone has a shit run of luck once in a while. All the best for your recovery, hope it's nothing too serious.

wow...when im drunk i can't even see the keyboard....props to you my friend....^^^^

RomoStills23 (Jun 18, 2010 at 3:42)

If you knew anything about a shoulder injury then you would know that riding with a f-ed up shoulder is not only painful but every bump feels like its going to rip out and your going to loose total control if it wasn't that bad he wouldn't be taking this time off after all he is Sam Hill so don't make stupid assumptions it had to be pretty bad for him to call off two world cups in a row and possibly more. Anyway hope he has a speedy recovery.

EricBirk (Jun 18, 2010 at 7:15)

Now that was the best response I have ever seen on this website. I just about fell off my chair. Thanks drunk guy Tom for making my friday morning!

tombutlerr (Jun 18, 2010 at 8:37) (Below Threshold)

Tom-moT- wtf i never said that he had died, and your clearly not drunk as you can write every word perfectly and youve put all full stops and shit. and you clearly spend way to much time on here if you can write a whole essay on why im wrong.

Pitcrew (Jun 18, 2010 at 8:44)

Hes a politically correct drunk...duh....

cGonzalez (Jun 18, 2010 at 8:48)

he probally gets drunk all the time then goes on pinkbike and yells at the dumbsh!ts that post stupid stuff(like what you posted) so he is a professional at typing while drunk.

ericpalmer (Jun 18, 2010 at 10:44)

if he can type like that (properly) drunk it just shows how retarded you must be if you can't do it sober Mr. Butlerr haha
& Pitcrew... I think you were looking for "grammatically correct", his post wasn't too politically correct

cGonzalez (Jun 18, 2010 at 11:09)

its ok tbuttler "drunk toms" first few drunken raging post probally had the same spelling and grammar as yours. he has just progressed over time.
