Where were you going at, at the end? There is absolutly no civilization.
I know how you feeling buddy. I crashed in the hot summer with a t shirt on some small rocks and my left arm left so much blood in the first few minutes and I had to run down even 3-4 Minutes down the mountain. There was so much adrenalin inside myself that I didn't even noticed that my arm was open in the first few seconds but then I was like "wait...there wasn't blood in my foot and gloves before I started to ride....*HOLY SH*T!*.
I won't eben imagine how you felt after the two crashes

Damn dude, at first I was thinking you were riding around already with a broken collarbone then realized it was during the ride. Props for getting down! The first few moments are fine but quickly the intense pain sets in on collarbones... intense!

Dude, at one point did I here you apologizing to yourself? You beast, how did you carry on at such an insane rate of knotts? When I broke my collar bone I was stopped dead in my tracks by a tree like that, however I didn't get up and carry on pinning it. I s'pose you had no choice but to get the hell outta there.

Breaking your collar bone sucks. I was only 2 milles from the end when I broke mine, but I walked down...With all the adrenalin that you have for like 10 mins after the crash I really should have just rode right away. You made a 100% decent decision, moving an already broken collar bone doesnt make it more broken rofl, although im SURE it hurt like crazy. Until you get treatment, its pretty hard to make the situation any worse.

I recently broke my collar bone and it looks kind of the same as yours m.pinkbike.com/photo/7805311 i was wondering if you could tell me around how long it took for you to get back on the bike

You said it clicks? My shoulder clicks and grinds when ever I move it ? and I did the same ... Hit a tree well hit 3 trees -_- do you think it could of been the collar bone I broke? Oh btw it was 8 months ago and it still makes noises :L

Haha definitly is because of the collar bone, other night i jumped outa bed in pain when my collar bone cracked in the place i had broke it in, wasnt cool... And that happend almoust a year ago now just gotta bare with it cause theres not much the docs can do, in time itll work itself out, ur bodys pretty crazy like that so i would t worry to much as long as u still get "full" movment out of it.

You know what...f*ck TED talks! This guy here is on a whole new level on inspiration, not to mention gnar and outright beastmode! Bear Grylls, Sir Edmund Hillary, Neil Armstrong, Usain Bolt...I DON"T GIVE A f*ck! This guy is the figurehead of mankind from now on, according to the gospel of Adolf Hitlers death will (that's an actual fact...look it up...don't argue...its a fact).

Something like that happened to me, I was on a skinny singletrack and I fell off the cliff to the left, a good 20 foot fall straight down with rocks to the bottom. Luckily nothing to bad, just a tweaked shoulder and foot with a fair amount of cuts but then I had to ride down the whole trail like that...without a back brake either. But props to you man urs was worse than mine

Haha the whole ordeal took about 2hrs, still a hell of a long time to go when ur broken like that and in the middle of the mountains, and i know eh it def seems like that but was headin towards my truck, which was about 8k down that gravel road
