I went on a mountain bike ride this week end with Andy Lai, his roommate Jack, and Karl Mayer. We road the entirety of Rowlett Creek. Parts of it were crazy and hadn’t been rode in months. It was a good ride we finished and decided to ride the first section again because we skipped part on accident. So Andy was leading and we headed into the section we had missed and we were going good. We hit the wood planks, which require some balance fortunately they’re only about 5″ off the ground [I fell off]. So we ride off of that section and are waiting for Karl and Jack when Karl comes around the cornet pops a wheelie and BAM FUCK!. He eats some serious shit. Well it couldn’t have been a better place to have a have an accident on the trail, we just happened to be against the back of a neighborhood. Right when Karl crashed a guy popped open his back gate and asked if everyone was okay, obviously we didn’t know if it was bad or not at that point. Turns out it was. I spent the rest of the day at the ER with Karl. With the worst case scenario being that he dislocated his shoulder or possible damaged nerves, they concluded that he had a single break near the top of the arm and that only a sling was required to heal.

After the trip to the Orthopedic Dr. it was determined that he had broken it in 3 spots including the ~rotator and would need 5 pins. KM’s going to pull thru we’ve got more riding to do.
