A few of my good days out until I CRASHED. Then that was it.
Things were going well continuing from a successful 2023. I was racing and doing well. 2024 started off great with plenty progression, and then in May I crashed.
Broken and dislocated shoulder, broken ribs and a sore ego.
Since then I have been in physio and rehab, however my shoulder is currently frozen with limited range and strength.
This hasn't put me off, although its frustrating not being able to push the limits like I used to be able to do.

Quick blast after fitting the new Continental tires

Just fitted some new continental TRAIL tires for winter. Kryptotal rear 29 x 2.6 Argotal front 29 x 2.6 They have proven quite good in the contitions, previously had Maxxis minion DHF DHR. I would say the the Argotal is better in the wet mud than the Minion DHF.

Chilled ride turns into a trip to A&E.

Chilled ride up at Glentress see's me coming off the bike with what looks like a front wheel wash out. All happened so fast, I couldn't even recover it. Pleased to say that the Troylee Stage helmet prevented what could of been a severe accident. Helmet took a massive impact and was written off doing it's job. Dislocated and fractured shoulder with a few bumps and bruises. Massive thanks to Andy...
First ride since fracturing my wrist. #mondraker #enduro #emtblife

As mentioned in the video, I fractured my wrist after a 2 day session at Bike Park Wales a few months back. I actually thought it was just fatigue from pushing the limits and thought nothing of it. Turns out I was wrong!!! Not long after, I was doing some race preparation for the Hamsterley TT, where I had a head-on collision with a tree. Some bruised ribs and a concussion saw me completely out...

great start to the year, cant believe it was back in May now you crashed!! how did you like thrunton?
@DownhillDesireMTB Thrunton is great. I'll definitely be back, same travel time as Hamsterley, so I think Thrunton will be the choice.
Where is that bud?
Up Northumberland mate. 😉
@Meant2BSent thrunton?
ive got argatols too, seem ok !
@DownhillDesireMTB front tire is better than minion DHF. Don't seem to roll as quick as the Maxxis.
@@Meant2BSent yea i find them a bit heavey rolling too. no worries on the ebike though!
Get I'm Marc looking good and great to see you back on the vlog
@dirtcheapdownhill2848 cheers mate.
Looks like an unreal ride bro 👊🏼
That’s a new one for me never seen someone ride in wellys
@sanjay0196 me too, he managed to do the full 2 days.
Had no idea most of them trails where even there 😂 looks 👌👌
@@Auto13432 neither did I. I've ridden past them all loads without realising.
Brilliant Marc building all the time, part 1 was hilarious too I like how you blamed me 😂
@dirtcheapdownhill2848 great day out. Unreal what's there and you don't know about it.
@Meant2BSent yeah still stuff we don't know about xx
Yes brother nice to see ya back on the bike! Jasus you didn’t mess around there! Glad you a lot better and take it easy! Just bought an eeeeb myself and bloody hell who said they easy to ride?? 😂😂😂 Great vid
@BikingVikingMTB Thanks, mate. I'm glad I had a good network around me, or I wouldn't have been on the bike at all.
@@Meant2BSent-My wife would be the same mate it’s nice to have support 👍 a wish you a continued speedy recovery!! I’m still recovering from a Gradelll disruption of the left AC joint 9yr on still needs an op. I ruptured a bicep tendon last year right Shoulder I’m full of pain but I bought an eeeeb and bloody love it 😊
you;re doing great Marc, a few more steady rides and fear will subside.
@DownhillDesireMTB thanks mate. Felt good being out with the lads just doing things at my own pace.
Good to see your recovery continuing 👍 Are you getting any physical pains from being back on the bike or is mostly a mental thing or the fear as you call it?
So after each ride I get some bruising and a slight swelling still. This will no doubt be from the impacts its taking at speed even though I'm doing my best to reduce it. However, there is great fear there. Stuff I would normally just send I can't even roll. Like that two foot drop you've probably done before.
@@Meant2BSent Yeah I can see you are riding at about 30% of your old abilities 👍 Keep taking it steady though and om sure you will conquer the fear 💪 Interesting to hear about the bruising, I'm hoping to get back on mine early September 🤞
@nomadic_dad I hope you recover quickly. As soon as you can get the sling off get the mobility working. If not it will be a long process.
you injured too Andy?
@@DownhillDesireMTB yes you liked a crash vid I put up weeks ago on Instagram 🤦♂️
So pleased to see you back where you belong bud
Good to see you back on it pal
@@andyhallmtb3696 thanks. Feels good getting back out there.
Great to see you back out on the trails 👏 It also gives me hope to get back to my bike before the end of the summer after my humerus fracture 💪
@@nomadic_dad thanks mate. I hope you aren't as bad as I've been. This has not been nice at all. Speedy recovery 🙏
@@Meant2BSent well it's been 5 weeks now I think and just waiting to get first physio to try and rebuild range and strengh
Suppose your getting grief when you go riding now off the wife haha
LET FRICKIN GO! How is the shoulder bro?
Holding up well for now. Not doing anything stupid. Still got the fear for now.
I dislocated my shoulder on a rid eback in febuary, after some other injuries. I was sat in a&e for 6 hours after getting xrayed, when it popped in by itself. Since ive learnt how to get it back in myself, which is a good thing to know. Good luck on your recovery man. Hope it doesnt get you off the bike for too long
I can cope with broken fingers, ribs, and wrist, but this has been the worst mentally. I'm getting there now, though, 4 weeks in and have almost 50% movement back. Can't wait to get on the bike again. 🙌
Wounding mate you looked on it and one bit of mud at the end just nipped the front. Hope ya areet soon. Ya sound pretty local to me, giz a shout when ya back riding and I’ll show you more of the Golfie!
Thanks mate, slowly getting there now. 👍
All the best bro💚
Thanks mate.
Heal up fella ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹 Came off at BPW last year: trashed my helmet, bust my shoulder, fractured 8 ribs, popped and bruised my lung. Can’t remember a thing! I’m fine now 😊 Anyway, onward and upward. Heal and get back on, this time even stronger 🎉🎉🎉
Bloody hell, that sounds brutal. Thanks for the support.
old out of shape grampas on ebikes cracking their osteoporosis bones on green trails.
You stopped just when it got interesting
🤣 as soon as I knew my shoulder was out, that was my cue to gather my thoughts and workout what I was to do.
Wow, That looks incredibly painful! Hope you recover fast
Pain was unreal mate, slowly getting there now though.
I’ve done that sort of thing in a deep rut a few times over the years!
Just caught me off guard so quickly.
How did you loose traction there? Did you get stuck in a rut?? Seemed like it wasn’t even on a turn
It happened that fast it's unknown. Just ran out of luck and talent that day.
Honking mate, hope it feels better soon & you recover rapid.
Thanks for the support. 💪
Ouch man did you not feel like trying that Mel Gibson lethal weapon thing of slamming it back in place ? 😉 tarland 2 got me a fractured heel and elbow my last visit bent the forks . Best wishes man 👍
At the end of the clip, you see me rotate my arm. That was my only attempt. Pain was too much.
@@Meant2BSent it looked savage hope you're healing well 👍🏻
Am 65 and two years ago broke ribs, forearm, and clavicle, totally lost my bottle
@volt8684 hope you get back on the horse man 👍🏻 what's the worst that can happen some time off work 😀
Exactly the same reaction i had, the arm hanging down brings back bad memories! I came off in end of feb and broke my wrist, im back to some gravel riding now, hoping to get more mtb in the next couple of weeks. Its been 2months since my surgery, was baerly able to go downhill on any stony surface a few weeks ago, but now its ok, but not ready for big hits yet. Have they told you a rough time? the 6 weeks i was told, 100% wasn't long enough!
I'm looking at up to 12 weeks but am waiting for a review from the fracture clinic. I'm in no rush to get back on the bike. I just need to recover for now. Then, like you've said, start off slowly and build back up into it.
Is the bike for sale..❤.that is a weird bit trail, dudes cutting out the corner and heading straight over have left a massive rut..watch out for it.
Bikes still good, bars and brakes give way as they should. I just got unlucky it happened so fast I couldn't react.
@Meant2BSent hope the shoulder heals quickly. It definitely gets exciting/painful quickly. At least you were at the bottom, not over the at mast side..
Damn that’s a bummer, hope you’re okay and get back on the bike soon.
Thanks mate, slow and steady for now.
oof, hard hit mate, worst timing too with start of better riding! hope it's a quick recovery
Thanks mate.
Absolutely horrible Marc😢 rest up and get better you will need an ebike when you get back to it, maybe not that though eh 😂
I was never going to bounce back off that one. Nature won today.
@Meant2BSent couldn't put it better, plenty time to look at shiny new bikes now though lol
Oh man what a shitty thing to crash on when you were riding so well 😳 Heal up soon mate 👍
I know, can't believe my luck. 😂
Looking at the new line at the top on the right looks epic
The place is unreal, can't wait to go back.
Looks awesome mate 👊🏻nice riding
Mega Marc, always great riding with you. A few moments for us both but we stayed on board lol
Cheers mate. Will be brilliant in summer and hopefully fully open.
Yeah boi 🙌
Great place mate. 👌
Looks like you all had a great day! Awesome video
Cheers Ash, brilliant 2 days getting to know my limits and pushing my boundaries.
These videos are all pretty funny. Fat old blokes buy a moped and a gopro then post clips of themselves crawling around trailcentres pretending to be mountain bikers.
Mega that Marc, you hit some decent jumps there too, I also went ooooo when you pulled up on that drop 😂
I'm so glad I got them done. Had I been on my own, I would never have gone down. We were feeling tired on day 2 and took it all with caution.
What a day this was! Can’t believe how many of us rocked up 🙌 Cheers for showing us about Marc! Next time… Faster we go!
Class Marc, can't wait to go back there on my new rig
Anytime after April mate. I'll be there.
Looks quite dry, lucky with the weather that day! Also looks like you had the park to yourselves 😁
We got really lucky on day one, mate. Weather was spot on. No more than 40 people there, I'd say. The second day weather changes slightly, though.
Promo_SM
I love this trail. Was there recently 😊
I think BPW is the best place for all round everything. I've developed so much going there quite often.
Looking good Marc 👍
Slowly getting better as the day went on.
That bike is super quiet Marc, you need a touch more speed and conpress before take off 👍
We had a bad day with suspension and speed mate.
that's pretty chunky for a red!!!
You would honestly love this place mate. Brilliant place to push your self and learn. I only filmed a small part but there's loads more here.
Definitely want to go here, is it far from bpw Marc, thinking could do bpw then next day go here
2 hour drive mate. There's better places to go if you do a wkend down here. .
Where is this mate looks class!
Flyup 417 Gloucester. Its good if you're nearby.
