Mountain bike fights back!

[Sparky Bills]

Long story short...

Thought it would be a good idea to try riding down a 10ft drop into a cut out jump on Monday. Turns out that was a really bad idea!

I clipped the front wheel on the landing ramp, and fell hard onto my right Shoulder.
Oh my god!! Never before have i felt pain like that.
I had winded myself. That wasnt the bad part...
Once i got my breath back, i tried to roll over onto my back. But my arm didnt move!! I had dislocated my shoulder.
So after i lay on the ground for abit, i picked myself up and walked to the main gate of the bike park i was riding in. Having to hold my arm up as it was pretty much just hanging there!
Never before have i felt pain like that! I would not recomend it to anyone!
So here i am, doing my best to type one handed, with three weeks off work (at least!!)

Gona miss the next round of the winter series, and not going to be doing any riding for a while.
Think i might end up insane!
