How to Friday Fail || MTB Crashing: Practice Like a Pro #10
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- So this week had a bit of a surprise for us! While it didn't go as expected, we are very intentionally sharing the experience with you.
(And since we film ahead several weeks, not to worry - you'll still get new skills every Sunday. We're already back in action 🤘)
One of the major things that drove us to create this series is that we wanted to offer content that's honest and real. We know that a huge barrier to learning skills is starting with unrealistic expectations, and then becoming discouraged as a result. Truly learning these new skills is a process and doesn't happen in an hour or a day.
We certainly could have dumped this footage and not mentioned it; maybe that would "look better" for us as a coaching organization. But our mission is to be genuine and document Linnea's journey toward her goals exactly as they happen; not in a highlight reel where everything looks easier than it is.
Each person has their own personal risk tolerance, and you do your best to make choices that align. It's important to acknowledge the risks you're taking, and be prepared mentally for the possibility (and consequences) of a crash. While these jumps are small and low risk for an actual injury, sometimes you land on the far end of the bell curve. We'll be committing to full face's for future jumping, dropping, and steep descents, and encourage you to do so as well; especially as we ramp up the skills and speed.

ABOUT SIMON LAWTON
Following his own Pro Downhill mountain bike racing career, Simon Lawton (Owner and Founder) has spent the last 25 years analyzing the top riders in the world to understand the tiniest details that contribute to their greatest successes, and also any weaknesses that are holding them back. With an exceptional understanding of kinesiology, Simon has developed his own teaching curriculum that explains the incredible relationship between human and machine. He has trained top pro mountain bike racers across the world, and his foundational techniques apply equally to beginner riders. His on-bike drills allow you to break down complex skills on the bike and develop correct techniques.

ABOUT LINNEA ROOKE
Linnea has been racing locally in the pro category, but until this year she had almost no formal training and was held back by major gaps in her technique. While she was able to carry speed well on straight downhills and high-bermed turns, she lacked foundational cornering skills and was timid in the air. In Feb 2020, she met up with Fluidride to help with a filming trip in Baja, and was fascinated by Simon's teaching methods. Wanting to be part of this mission, she left her career in healthcare in July 2020 to officially join the Fluidride team as COO. We started filming this series to document her journey of cleaning up bad habits, adding new skills to her toolkit, and chasing her dream of riding with style.
Linnea rides for Evil Bikes: www.evil-bikes...
Wow! I am officially in awe of Linnea. Such incredibly calm acceptance of the situation. Hope it all heals quickly and well.
We appreciate your support!
my thoughts too what a tough cookie! so pretty go girl
A true mountain biker... kudos!
She drives a stick too! She is too cool
Crazy how Linnea just sucked up the pain and even diagnosed herself on the spot. She's a beast.
Every other collarbone injury on film they've made some of the crazy sounds I've ever heard.
Seth or Bobo wheezing.
Linnea's just like that didn't feel good...is my shoulder intact?.
You're tough Linnea!!!
I suppose the crunchiness should have been the first clue... It seems so obvious now looking back on it 🤣. Thanks for all your support! -Linnea
Noooooooo I have been watching this video series and really enjoy them. Gutted she is out of action for a while, I wish you a speedy recovery.
Thanks for the note! Lots of good news coming though. We film ahead (for editing time) so we're actually still on track and more content coming soon. The recovery was fast ✨
Man....., wasn´t expecting that crash at that point, it scared the shit out of me, immediatly took both my hands to my head and said AHHHH...Get well fast!
Thanks for the support! The recovery has been a breeze - got a great surgery and already forget it even happened. Back to bikes!! 😁 -Linnea
"and my car is a stick shift"
like a cherry on top.
Get well soon!
🤣 I was definitely stuck at home a few extra days cause of the stick shift. Thanks for the support! Recovery is going great 🤘 -Linnea
AKA manual. Too cool!
Ouch! That sucks. I'm on number 2 myself - cuz it was sooo fun the first time! I have considered wearing football style shoulder pads due to all the hardware I have screwing my shoulders together. Good thing you got it all on film.
Oh no!!! Glad to be in good company here. If you find some good shoulder pads, let me know! 🤣 -Linnea
I’m Free!!!! Linnea you’re a deadset legend. Heal quick and can’t wait to see you back on the pony.
🤣🤣🤣 recovery is breezing by! Already back on the bike and feeling awesome. (We film ahead a bit, so that bought me some time). Thanks for the support! -Linnea
"It feels scrunchy.. oh yeah it's broken". I have seen so many grown men breaking collarbone on road riding / racing.. most stayed on the floor groaning and gritting their teeth holding back tears. Respect, Linnea.
It may have been a mix of ignorance and denial on my part 🤣 I can't believe how long it took me to realize the bone was missing 🤔 Thanks for the support! -Linnea
You are a strong girl, quick recovery 3 months ago I fractured 8 ribs my clavicle and perforated my lung today I returned to Alafia
A die-hard MTBr from my hood, Tampa Bay?
Oh no! That must have been an awful crash - so sorry that happened. Happy to hear you're recovering so quickly though
I feel bad for the crash. I hope you can come back soon to the trails 100% recovered. Your attitude is incredible after that accident.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Ramon! Recovery is going even better than hoped 😁
I so admire you for being so cool, calm and collected throughout! And thank you so much for sharing this experience, because while mountain biking is so much fun, technical training is tough and we all have sustained a fall or two (or 32) in the process. Keep at it, great videos!
Linnea you're incredible. Snap a bone into 3 pieces and you just sit up and talk about it.
I hope you're all healed up now.
That was an emotional rollercoaster.
Watching that hard fall was difficult, but then you were so calm and seemed ok, and I was relieved, then you took stock and discovered something was not right, but still you were calm and I was holding out hope that everything really was ok.
Then-no, it really was broken.
The ups and downs were crazy.
And then having some fun at the truck with Simon the “task master” was great.
Hope to see you back on the bike soon and better than ever.
Hang in there. You are tough.
I had that happen & tore my entire shoulder. Linnea is one tough cookie. Much respect!
OH MAN that sounds rough 😬. I hope you are back in action now!
Get well soon! Handled that like a pro, such composure, wow!!
Thanks for the support Curtis! -Linnea
I would had never thought it was broken by the way she reacted and behaved. She's a champ!!
Oh no! I really appreciate you both sharing this video. Things do happen, but it is all part of learning. I am glad she is ok and I have to say "she is a true soldier". I dont think she even dropped a tear and I know that hurt. Get well soon!
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah it's important to be transparent about all sides of the sport - crashes are inevitable and collarbones are easy to break 🤣 I appreciate the support! -Linnea
@@Fluidride it was cool of you to cut her some slack on the homework just this once
Oh my gosh. Just watched this one. I hat watching people fall off. One second everything fine, the next, disaster. Linnea, you are hard core. Very calm. Last year I fell off and broke my finger on something similar. Broken bones suck🙄. Glad you have recovered!
That was a pretty rough stack, handled it like a champ. Hope you get well soon!
Thanks for the support, Robert! 🤘
She was a trooper. The way she fell was a given...either broken collarbone, AC separation, or torn labrum. Wish you a speedy recovery.
Yeah, actually she was 'lucky' in some ways since collarbones heal quickly.
@@Fluidride Definitively, better to beak bones than to tear tendons or ligaments. Quicker and better healing process.
Linnea is such a champ. I cant wait to see her back riding again.
Thank you for the support Lisa! -Linnea
ouch .. thats sucks. i just broke my collar bone last week, like the same way. Now im at home, recovering,
Send huge hugs and power for your recovering! Im from Chile,
Wow so cool to hear from a rider in Chile! We love this. So bummed to hear about your collarbone - we're sending you the best healing vibes back! ✨
Ooooooohhhh Noooo,,, I am so absolutely gutted on that one! Such a slow little crash on that one and with disasterous results, shows how easy it is to break a collar bone, DANG GIRL Linnea you are ONE TOUGH GAL! So composed and calm!
Thanks for your support and kind words, Kevin! I guess I'm happy I broke it that bad so I could get a rod and keep riding 🤣. All ended well! -Linnea
Anyone else have a huge crush on Linnea after this? She handled it like an absolute champ
🤣🤣🤣
"Can I get an extension on my homework?"
What a trooper! Here's to a speedy recovery!
Been really enjoying this series.
Thanks for watching - we're stoked you're enjoying the content! And more coming soon - Linnea is recovering super fast ✨.
This is such a great series, and its stuff like this that reminds you that this really is mountain biking for real people. Hope you get well soon.
Thanks for this thoughtful note, Nathan - we appreciate it!
Doooh...! "...they cut my shirt so I'm keeping their gown..." You're going to love that video later (ummm, maybe much later). We watched your follow-up video too (i.e., two weeks subsequent). It's good to see the recovery is happening and going very well.
Fine then, a rod is the choice for the broken collar bone. I can remember that.
Good luck,... & try to stay well.
Aw thanks for watching the follow-up and for all your support! Yeah we've definitely gotten some great laughs through this whole thing... Feeling so grateful for the surgery and that this is breezing by! More videos coming soon 🤪 -Linnea
tuck and roll baby, tuck and roll... (Handled the pain like a champ though...)
Doh.....hope you heal up fast. That OTB was legit. I have to say that it reminds me that crashes can happen any time and I really should start riding with friends more often.....
Yeah these jumps weren't even big... totally caught me off guard! I was grateful to have people around when the blood left my face 🤪 It doesn't hurt! -Linnea
Tough girl! Huge respect!! 🤟 Speed recovery for Linnea. Great tutorial series!! Keep up the good work 😊🤙
Thanks for the support! Recovery is going fast - got the best surgery and feeling amazing. Can't wait to keep this journey going! -Linnea
God damn hero that Linnea.. And mad skills. I love watching this series.. keep it up guys, and glad to hear shes back up and riding
Thanks for the support Claus! Recovery is breezing by 🥳
OMG, I felt that one. A speedy recovery to Linnea.
Thanks for the support! 🥳
As said earlier " welcome to the club" we're glad to have you aboard. The entry fee is steep but strangely worth it. I've had four broken collarbone over the years 2 on bikes.
An unseen sniper root and a bad landing into a unforseen obstacle, always when you don't see it. Ive helped out many many injured riders with shoulder issues. Your calm and collected demeanor from impact to entering the hospital was inspiring. Seriously ive carried out burley tough guys out who weren't even close to as hurt as you were. Bitching and moaning the whole way out. Blaming this and that and owning none of the accident 🙄. As all those before said a hundred different ways you are special it takes a very strong person to exhibit that kind of awareness of the situation and acceptance without panic or hysterics. I would ride with you anywhere in any situation.
Thank you for sharing this darker side of our sport with such class, integrity, and laughter.
Get Well Soon !!!
Much, Much respect
Waiting till you ride again

Ps
I mastered trackstands during healing from the last collarbone 😆
Dude, your post is more about you than this young lady! 4 broken collarbone? Hmmm. Maybe you should start a spectator club instead. Lots of spectating experience with 4 broken collarbone after all. You one upped her 3x. Better yet, make videos of your crash techniques so we can all be at awe at your inability to learn how to be safe and sound. Knowledge without wisdom is a machine without an operator.🙏🔑✌️
Ahahahaha the collarbone club entry fee 🤣 And WOW after 4, you are a collarbone expert now! I'm glad to be in good company. This is such a thoughtful note; I really appreciate your support! And to all the support you show other riders. Since we film ahead for editing time, I can tell you I'm already back to riding and feeling amazing. Ready to get back on this journey; more content coming soon! - Linnea
@@notapplicable6274 seems apparent that you did not read what I wrote. Only 2 of my broken collarbones were on the bike over ten years not all four ( other two were as a kid). And at no time did I "upher by three times". I was giving context to the opinion i was giving her video. And then you try to shame me and tell I dont have a brain or that I'm an unsafe rider yet have no context to make that opinion of me. I actually teach people how to be safer on the bike and terrain they are riding primarily because of my last collarbone. I am accredited Mtb coach from PMBIA Whistler location.
Again context and legitimatecy of to my opinions There's also the fact that you are hiding behind your NA call sign making your ignorant troll like comments, while I put my name, legitimate, and positive comments about her video instead. Also the person that the Comment was actually for really enjoyed what I had to say.
So when you willing to quite hiding your identity and trolling maybe then your comments will be worth the time you put in but as for now all you've done is show your a keyboard tough guy too cowardly and small use your real name to stand behind your uninformed and ignorant comments about someone you don't even know.
Though now that I think about it your moniker does apply to you because your comments are....
Not Applicable
oh, that was a hard crash! Get well soon! Linnea's attitude is so nice.
Thanks Anton - we're definitely proud of her... it was a big hit 😬
That hurt so much to watch. Probably more to experience. What a champ!
I have loved watching this series and seriously bummed that happened to you. You are such a bad ass and hope you have a speedy recovery!
Thanks for your support! Recovery is going better than we could have imagined 🥳
Almost everyone I knew when I snowboarded broke their collarbone at some point. Even back then it was a pretty easy six weeks and back to the slopes. She rocked that crash like a champ!!
Thanks for the support! Yeah it's just so easy to break them 😅 And you're right - the recovery breezes by! -Linnea
Well that just got real. One tough young lady. Looking foward to seeing her speedy recovery and back in the saddle.
Thanks for the support! All is going well - we film ahead a bit so I've gotten a surgery and some recovery time - feeling great already!! Excited to drop more skill videos - Linnea
I usually just watch your vids and leave a thumbs up but I feel compelled to comment now just to say get well soon Linea! You handled it like a true champ!
You were doing so well I have been following this series. Can't wait to see you get back to your homework! Maybe a "how to get back to mountain biking after an injury" would be a good part of the series
And Simon is such a great coach, his subtle dry humor kinda cracks me up too
Ah we love Simon's dry humor as well! Thanks for leaving this note - Linnea appreciates the kind thoughts as well. She was able to get surgery and already back on the bike for lower risk stuff (since we film ahead), so we'll be back to normal episodes next week already! 🤪. And are excited to share more about her surgery and why it was so successful. We have some good stuff coming your way!
Man I cringed watching this episode, she handled that like a true pro and still threw in some humor. Great episode to show that risks are high in what we love doing. Keep up the great work!
Yeah, rad lady...and tough as hell. She's back up and running and faster than ever! -Simon
Shes a warrior! Been watching the whole episode and learning a lot and applying it on trails.
I was over a few trails and yes she's a badass. I hope you heal quick Linnea 🙏 . I was hoping to ride with ya that day. Get well and I will see ya on the trails.
Hi Sy! AH sorry I missed you at Duthie... more laps coming soon! -Linnea
Holy slam... What a trooper Linnea. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks for the support!! Recovery is going so great 🥳 More content coming soon! -Linnea
Way tougher than me!!! This girl rocks. Can’t wait to see you back out.
Thanks for the note! She's already recovering fast - new content coming soon 🤘
Holy cow! Those are extremely painful. That young lady is tough.
Thanks for the support!
*This is one of the best MTB channels on UA-cam! It amazes me how y’all have such few subscribers!*
Thanks for the support! We just kicked off this type of content schedule a few months ago, so maybe others will find it eventually 🤣 but we hope that the videos are helpful and educational!
...And when I thought it just one of those "Funny" MTB Fail...🤪🤪🤪
...Get well soon Linnea, I wish you a Speedy Recovery...🙏🙏🙏
Hahaha well parts of it were funny at least 🤣 Thanks for all your support! Recovery is already a huge success!
aww she so cute and so calm during the whole experience, especially since it's her first. rest up and heal well, Linnea. you are awesome
Thanks for the support, Robert! Recovery is going great
I Feel your pain girl. Rehabbing my shoulder still. You took it like a champ
Sending you good vibes for your shoulder! Not always easy to be patient when there are bikes to ride 🤪
that hurt to watch. Linnea is tough as nails. totally in awe of how calm and collected she was throughout. wishing her a speedy recovery.
Thanks for the kind words and support - recovery is going great! 😁 Excited to share more about that soon! -Linnea
Wow was not expecting that to happen. Hope you have quick recovery!!!
It caught all of us by surprise too! Thanks for the support - lots of good news coming soon 🤘
My heart popped out when it happened! She definitely has heart - healing vibes & prayers 🌹
She's all better! She was back on the bike after surgery in less than 5 weeks. She's ripping much faster now. Incredible. -Simon
@@Fluidride truly incredible! good job guys, all of you!
Quick healing to you, what an awesome positive outlook you have as well "awe my first one ". Stay safe and heal fast
Thanks for the support! 🤣 definitely expected that one day it was gonna be my turn for the collarbone. Recovery is going great and more content coming soon! -Linnea
Terrible injury, but with a great surgeon you should be back in a few months. I dislocated mine on a high speed gap jump and I still have a ringing in my head from my concussion. Speedy recovery to you, you're both awesome teachers.
Oh yikes - so bummed to hear about your concussion! That's really scary 😬 For the collarbone, it turns out I was able to get back on the bike in 3 weeks cause I got a rod put in. Game-changer. I hope you are continuing to recover... that sounded like a bad crash
@@Fluidride That is so good to hear, that is the way to go...break it and fix it. On the plus side I was able to ride from the top of the mountain down in record time before the adrenaline wore off. Keep up the great healing and teaching.
Love this series so much! This girl is awesome. Some years ago I had almost same crash and broke my collarbone. I was much, much more in pain that Linnea is showing, what a woman!
Thanks for the support Jodi! And I'm super bummed to hear about your crash - hoping you had a full recovery from that. Excited to keep this journey going here really soon 👊 -Linnea
A perfectly normal reaction. That's how things go.
Didn't see that coming. What a champ!
Get well soon Linnea.
Thank you Tom - I appreciate your note! Recovery is going incredibly well and had some recovery time already. Feeling great! -Linnea
"Sometimes I'm a wimp", says the girl who shatters her collarbone and then asks for two weeks to recover. Linnea, you're bad ass.
🤣 And there I was thinking that cold weather was gonna be the worst thing I had to tackle that day! 🤪-Linnea
Oh my God this girl is bad ass......... that was brutally hard to watch. I wasn't expecting that. I'm glad you back riding. Respect to you!
Hah was a bit of a surprise for me too 🤣 But grateful to be riding again. Thanks for your support! -Linnea
I'm cringing when I see you falling 🤕. Broke my collar bone too 12 years ago and I can still remember how I felt in this situation. Makes me really happy to see how brave you took it and that you didn't loose your positive attitude. You rock, girl! 🤩👍
Really enjoy the series, Get well soon Linnea, praying for you
Thanks for the support Lloyd! I appreciate all the thoughts. Recovery is off to a great start and I'm excited to share more good news and skills soon. -Linnea
Total bummer! But it happens. Feel better soon!! 👍🏽
Thanks so much for your support! It ended up so well, once the titanium rode was in, I was back on the bike in 3 weeks 🤪 Ready to rally! -Linnea
Damn, sorry to see anyone injured. Shows how it can all go off the rails in the blink of an eye. I'm 50 and just learning to properly jump. Took a little spill last week and ganked up my shoulder (the other is separated from learning to crash while snowboarding last winter!) and gave myself a bloody nose. These are the things that keep us humble. It might look a little over the top, but any time I'm doing anything with wheels off the ground I'm fully padded and wearing a full face helmet. Totally worth it.
Oh yikes - so bummed to hear about your crash. And you're totally right, it's helpful to have these reality checks sometime. We hope you're already feeling better and back at it!
Dr Basamania at OPA in Seattle does a minimally invasive repair of collarbones--he inserts a rod inside your collarbone which can be removed later. You'll heal faster than if you get the bigger incision/plate/screws method and have likely have fewer issues down the road. Just be sure you move that arm as soon as possible after the surgery or you might end up with a frozen shoulder and a longer rehab to get your range of motion back. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
That's who I saw!! (We film ahead several weeks so we already know there's a happy outcome). I was absolutely blown away. Our tech expert had recommended Dr Basamania and OMG he's the most incredible surgeon I could ever imagine. We were so impressed that we are actually putting up an episode on Friday all about the procedure. We appreciate this note - and couldn't agree with you more. Life-changing. -Linnea
Linnea is one tough, determined cookie! She is destined to succeed! Best wishes for a rad recovery.
My heart goes out to Linnea. That was a pretty ugly crash. Good luck and wishing you an accelerated recovery.
Hi Linnea. I'm a really old MTB rider in australia & admire your toughness & ability. You & Simon make a great team & the way you two break down the mindset & movement, required to pull off a manouver, ie awesome.😁
Hope you recover quickly from that hortible shoulder injury😀
Regards Noel
The main reason I'm planning on taking Fluidride classes is to avoid having days like this! Glad to see how fast you're bouncing back!
You’re a champ, Linnea! Hope you are well on your way to a full and fast recovery. Really appreciate the videos, keep them coming as soon as you’re able.
Yes since we've been filming ahead (for editing time) and the recovery has been going crazy fast, I'm already back to riding easy stuff! It feels GREAT. More content coming soon 🤪 and thanks for the support! -Linnea
Ouch! Crashing with style. Not the video I wanted to watch prior to practicing jumps today! Glad to see you recovered well and are back at it.
I just started watching this series and loving it. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks for watching, and for the support! Recovery is going great (we had some extra time because we film ahead) so lots of good news and more content coming soon 😁 -Linnea
Wow, Linnea you are an absolute badass. I hope everything goes well and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thanks for this note! Recovery is going incredibly fast... Back on the bike already for lower-consequence stuff 🤪 (We film ahead a bit for editing time)
I watched the next video about your recovery and saw how fast you were healing after the surgery. That is pretty incredible. I only cracked mine 30 years ago and it took forever to heal and hurt just to breathe.
@@pauls3616 Oh I'm so bummed to hear that! What a tough experience. The science has come a long way and getting this rod was a total game-changer. Thanks for watching the videos too!
“I think it’s ok...” 😂 no way. You could see even when she was sitting it was crooked - even worse when she stood up & I am not a Dr. Hope you have a quick and easy recovery! Keep the vids coming (when you are fully healed!).
Hahaha ok yeah, looking back on it, the crunchiness should have been a clear indicator as well 🤣. Thanks for the support! Linnea's recovery is going crazy fast, more content coming soon
Wow. Linnea is such a badass. I'm in awe.
Oh damn, I’m just seeing this. Injuries suck! A couple of positives though. You got it on camera and no head injury. I’m so impressed with your composure. Simon didn’t mess around. Dude was still wearing his helmet on the drive. 🍻🍻
So grateful for no head injury. And my face even recovered from the scratches. Full face for life now 🤣 -Linnea
Oh my goodness gracious that crash... Hope she'll get well very very soon.
Thanks for the support!! Recovery is going great, lots of good news to share this week 😁 -Linnea
Lucky to not get a savage concussion on that one too. Definitely been there before, same side too haha. Hope you have a speedy recovery! Rest up!
SO LUCKY. Made me really re-think the helmet choice. I'm sorry about your crash as well! I'm already back in action (we film ahead a bit) and feeling awesome. Thanks for the support! -Linnea
Bummer. As I watched Linnea go over the handlebars, flash back to two years ago when I did the same and broker my collarbone too (but on the end/tip). That stinks. I needed surgery. Metal plate and screws still in my shoulder. 66k in medical bills. 6 months recovery. But - been riding for 18 months. Back on it. It was the first bone I broke in my body at age 50 after riding MTB for 25 years. Happens (when we go in the air). Impressed with how calm Linnea was. I think 90% of collarbone breaks can heal without surgery. Hope she is in that group (did not look good on the x-ray). Wishing Linnea a fast and full recovery.
WOW that was a big crash you had - really sorry to hear that. It seems like you made a successful return to riding though! Linnea ended up getting an incredible surgery and feels amazing now - it's a rod instead of a plate. We'll be sharing more info about this on Friday. It wouldn't have helped yours unfortunately :( since it was at the end of the bone. Since we film ahead, Linnea is already back on the bike and ready drop more episodes! We'll be starting off with some lower-risk skills to ease back into it 🤪
@@Fluidride That is good news. Linnea is a trooper. Keep rolling out that great riding advice.
Dang. I wasn't expecting that. I'm so enjoying your journey. Heal fast.
Thanks for the note, and we're pumped to hear this! We film ahead so the recovery is already making big progress... Excited to share more about this really soon!
Ow! Linnea! You poor thing - and it had all been going so beautifully. I gave my own a r/shoulder a massive OTB stack back in July, but separated, not broke, it. I feel your pain! Best wishes and GWS.
oh OW that sounds painful. I'm bummed to hear that happened to you 😬 The collarbone seems surprisingly easy to manage! I got a rod put in and am feeling amazing already. Can't wait to share more about that! -Linnea
As soon as she said, "feels crunchy" I knew she broke it. Wishing you a speedy recovery! I'm not sure when the injury took place but, I would suggest speaking with your doctor about Duoderm bandages, they work great for reducing scarring by preventing scab from forming. I used them back when working with making vascular compression garments for burns.
Oh man the crunchiness is so creepy 🤣. Glad I only had to do that for 6 days. Getting in and out of bed wasn't easy! That is super intersting about the Duoderm bandages; I've never heard of those. Thank you for this great info! -Linnea
Let me pick my jaw up off the floor first. HOLY COW. That was very unexpected. I felt your impact. You are tough. I thought you broke something when i saw the crash then you got up like you were fine. This is the injury that scares the fuck outta me. I never want one. Good luck get well soon!!!
Wow that sucks and Linnea demonstrated her true mountain bike toughness. After the initial shock of the situation, I could tell she was really pissed but appreciate her fight to finish the story. Get well!
Yeah it's so true... pain sucks, but knowing you'll be off the bike for a bit hurts even more!
I could be wrong, but thank god you guys finally completed a high 5! But then the crash... I had my front wheel slide out like that in Sept., and I broke my wrist. Linnea is too cute. Speedy recovery to her! I hope it's easier than a wrist injury to come back from.
🤣 ✋ Thanks for the kind words John! And so bummed to hear about your wrist. That is a long recovery 😬 Fortunately for Linnea, the collarbone is often a quick repair with some metal, and this gets you back in action quickly while the bones finish healing. We film ahead a bit - she's already feeling great again! Sending you good thoughts for your wrist as well
Holy balls she was calm about that. She handled that like a freaking pro!
Thanks for the support! Definitely didn't expect to be on the ground that fast 🤔
Aww man this series has been super rad and informative...Linnea is a trooper, shattered that collar bone and shook it off like meh its broken,🤷🏻♂️Im impressed🤘🏼Get better soon!
She's all healed up and ripping better than ever! She bounced right back. -Simon
I'm not a MTB trail rider... i watch MTB vids cause I love seeing what can be done on modern MTB. That was literally one of the worst crashes I've seen footage of.. and I've watched A LOT of MTB crashes on video. i watched it several times... even a few times in slo-mo.... that was brutal.
I hope Linnea is going to be alright.. it REALLY pained me to watch her crash that hard. I don't think there's anyway I wouldn't have been on ground, writhing in pain, and calling for divine assistance. While she walked away as if she had a mild sprain. TOUGH young woman!
Get better soon...
She is tough, and is 100% fine and riding. Was back to full speed in 4 weeks. Will be out for 2-3 days in the coming weeks to have the hardware out, but we expect a full 100% recovery. Tough - and in the case of this crash - lucky too,
What a trooper! Injuries are such a bummer.
Although it certainly stinks this happened, it was good for me as a newbie to see what can happen. Thank you for sharing the highs and the lows of her progress, it keeps my new hobby in perspective.
Yeah, all part of the sport Eric. It's a common injury and one which typically heals quickly and fully.
She handled that like a BOSS!
Thanks so much Jacy! -Linnea
Broken bone... Now that's gnarly!
Yeah it definitely caught us off guard!
Holy cow! What a champ! Calm, tough, like no way I could handle it that way. She is amazing! I believe I've met her before at Duthie and she was hard at working on wheelies over and over and I talked to her and she was nice enough to give me time and pointers.
Thanks for the support and all these kind words! YEAH let's practice more wheelies at Duthie! Recovery is going great... we film ahead (for editing time) so I'm already back to easy riding. More Duthie soon 🤘
NEVER seen Linnea crash before. She's a trooper. Please also wear fullface helmet on future videos. Wishing you a speedy recovery Linnea. Hope to see you on the trail someday.
You are such a strong person, Linnea. Sorry that happened, but you should be proud of everything you have done and how you handled this. My heart really went out to you. Get well soon!
Aw thanks so much Kevin! Appreciate all your kind words here. This story has a very happy ending, as I was able to get an awesome surgery. We've been filming ahead a bit; I'm already feeling great and we're back to filming. Excited to share more about the surgery and recovery - coming later this week! -Linnea
Holy shit, that x-ray is not what I expected based on how well she handled it. I know it's not much consolation, but at least it happened in November!
Thanks for the support! Yeah honestly the timing was as good as it could have been... grateful for that!
Such a strong rider! I just got one similar crash, and luckily, my collar is still in place. The shoulder is still healing, but I can't wait to get back to the jumps and do the homework 🙂. A lot to learn from these good videos. I just keep watching ! 🤘
so happy you didn't break anything! Thanks for watching the videos too - we're stoked they're helpful!
They should have titled this, "The inevitable truth of dangerous pursuits." If you're passionate about shredding down and through rugged terrain on a bicycle, these things happen. Chill out, heal up, pedal on!
One of the best instructional vid series I’ve ever seen 💯🇺🇸
You are really strong women, no worries everything will back to normal in a short time, I’m still riding with titanium on my collarbone. No risk no fun. 😉 wish you fast recovery.
Thanks for this!! Recovery is going well - we're excited to share more about that soon!
