-Grade 6 ac separation and broke my collar bone in half. Required reconstructive shoulder surgery 4 years back. I'll have 70% range of motion for the rest of my life. Also sprained my neck and got concussed on that crash. Off the bike for 5 months. I still have half a collar bone on my right side.
- 2 cracked ribs when I hit a curb and went sailing onto the pavement...was wearing a cable lock around my neck/shoulder and the lock was against my ribs. Landed right on it.
- broke my nose when I endo'd into a rock garden on some gnar gnar xc trail. My glasses hit the bridge of my nose. Still have a dent in it.
-riding across a college campus at 11pm one night and they've got the sprinklers on. I was on one of those aggregate walkway things...next thing I knew I was on the ground and my buddy was launching off of me. I was wearing a helmet luckily (it broke) but I hit my head so hard, I had a strawberry burn thing on my forehead and temple for a week afterward from the styrofoam in my helmet. Another concussion.
-the inevitable road rash.
