Make sure you get the arm mobile again asap to avoid months of annoying physio! Broke my humerus last August at Llandegla- 6 weeks in a sling and likely to be August again until the movement is back to normalish!
First time mountain biking yesterday since the accident for me.0 -
due to the location of the break I've got good movement in my arm. I can raise it above my head, behind my back etc so hopefully Its not as bad as it seems0

I have done both of my clavicles. Let it heal properly, dont be in a rush to get back on the bike or it just wont heal properly and you're in for a lifetime of aches and weakness or major surgery and double the recovery again.
Also find a good private physio, NHS are good but fortnightly physio which is aimed at lazy bastards whk wont take it seriously isnt good enough. A good, private sports physio will really help recovery.
Maybe a little coaching after recovery, you could have hit that drop twice as fast safely. It looked like you made no attempt to pick up the front off the take off.
And loose the beard, it wont help with riding, recovery or getting laid!Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -

It looks like you just rolled off and made no attempt to keep the front up.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

Gutted for you Poah, watched the video. Guess it just caught you out? Lack of concentration maybe? Think we have all been there. You just came off worse.0

Take your time with recovery. I have seen a few people get back on it too quickly only to go backwards with their recovery and end up off the bike for a lot longer. Clavicles are sh1t, they're weak, they heal slowly and their never as strong again. Plus no armour protects them.

get well soon mate! and don't listen to them keep your beard, keeps people concetrating on something intresting... “I am a humanist, which means, in part, that I have tried to behave decently without expectations of rewards or punishments after I am dead.”

Too much familiarity with that jump/drop off I think?Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

Rider in front was going quicker.
It looks like a small poppy jump so I would hazard a guess that you were tensed up hitting it which sent you up and over rather than loosening up and absorbing some of the pop and keeping the bike level.Bird Aeris : Trek Remedy 9.9 29er : Trek Procaliber 9.8 SL0 -

rider in front is always quicker thats not the issue here. I had been working on my passage through the dip before and my exit speed was getting faster. I couldn't have corrected for this extra speed and repositioned myself for the jump hence the roll forward. the hill drops drown at a fair angle too which didnt help things. still hopefully I'll learn from my mistake.
Jump isnt that small either and has a fair angle of attack.
dont trust my bars now though as they are carbon and took a fair impact in the ground.
helmet did its job

When you say you couldnt correct yourself for the extra speed and reposition what you really mean is you rode too fast for your skill level. Bigger jumps are often easier than small ones if you are relaxed because you have time to think and check your bike position.
I was riding a big dirt jump style step up jump in the week and found that I had loads of time to correct mistakes in the air before landing. Everyone else was finding the time for suicides, bar spins and flips. I just about managed to land straight jumps.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -
Unlucky. Hope you heal up quick0

:oops: I suppose that would be the simplified version of events
recon 2-3mph faster than I would normally take it going by strava results.0
