    The bike is unscathed, unfortunately that seat is still too damned high.

    Marks bike is perfectly fine, It's a Kona ! We didn't even notice any road rash , torn clothing, or visible blood. Obviously he hit the ground hard and did not slide very much.

    Wow, clavicle and 7 ribs! Very sorry to hear. I hope you heal well and fast, Mark.

    If I was there filming, then mark would have been fine, because he would have crashed into me again like last time.
    Right on Dave! I've only broken 2 bones. My middle finger on the right hand when I was a kid because there weren't any more tamales in the chest freezer, so I flipped it off and it slammed my "throwing" finger. Now when there aren't tamales I resign to chips and salsa. The other was a damned mast from my windsurfer at Waikiki beach catching a wave and crunching my nose. I will admit though....I've dislocated my shoulders, and thumbs. NOW I'm paying the price. My throwing finger on my right hand still functions fine, and I can still smell shit just fine, but my shoulders are asking my legs to do the work all the time and my thumbs go "click" all the time! DUDE....break some bones soon and preserve your joints for latter years!

    Oh yeah....also broke my back hanggliding back in '74' and so far so good?! Torn ligaments, tendons and muscles at joints eventually catch up Dave. Just don't crash Dude.

    Update; It sounds like Mark will spend another night in the hospital. I also hear that Shad will be heading down to pick him up possibly tomorrow.

    I guess I shouldn't complain about my bruised ribs I got on the hog's back in Richfield. I hope they heal by the time I get to St. George to ride down there.

    Get well soon.

    WHERE IS THE VIDEO?!

    If we can post little bunny rabbits getting slaughtered, we can sure as hell post a bike crash.

    Who agrees??

    Another update; Today wasn't that great for Mark. They had to put a tube through two broken ribs so they could drain 1500 CCs of blood up against his lungs.

    I spoke with him briefly on the phone, trying to keep it short because I know how painful it is to talk with broken ribs.

    I said some people are waiting for the video, and that I'd wait until he was up and running before I'd exploit his crash. He appreciated that. So I'm going to continue to wait. I will however post some pics in the mountain bike section of the aftermath. He's going to try and snap a shot of his X-ray. He says his clavicle bone is criss crossed. We were wondering if that straightens out by itself. Anybody know?

    Unless there is a real good reason to fix a clavicle it is avoided. They generally heal fine with just a clavicle brace and will result in a thing we call the "Loop Bump"

    I am sure Mark would appreciate a visit from anyone in the area. All of his family are in Ogden, so he is on his own. Just bring him some junk food or snacks. I bet he is getting bored...
