Just got back from a nice morning at the BMX track, followed by two hours in Emergency.
To cut a long story short we were doing time trials and I stacked in the rhythm section of the track (high speed bumps) and crunched my left shoulder into the next up slope.
Initially I thought it was dislocated, then it was thought to be broken collar bone - but no, I've stuffed the A C joint. I have to go into the city next week and organise authopedic surgery
Currently in a sling and a fair amount of pain (which VB is promising to cure)

And I suppose all the 10 year olds you were racing against had a good laugh?

my kids race against others their age on bmx's, i'm in the old farts 24" class.
The guy who runs the club is 40 and still races A-pro. His 16 year old son came 1st in the nationals last year - the 10 year olds have plenty of competition.

Ouch!
Please keep us updated on the surgery - and next time, use a bike with an engine - you can always accelerate out of trouble

I was told go hard or go home - these things happen when you go hard in any racing format. Just a shame I'll miss out on the start of the State series, and so may not qualify for the Nationals towards the end of the year.
