=======================================
Today we are out in the backcountry of the Ozark mountains in NW Arkansas to get a taste of the more remote riding. I'm riding with Seth, and we have an exploratory mission as we have no clue where we are going out here!
Looking back on the footage, it's pretty clear that things weren't going our way from the get go. With numerous wrong turns, some close calls, and a crash already under our belt, I continued to have a silly crash that resulted in the dislocation of my left shoulder.
Neither Seth nor I have any experience in dealing with a dislocated shoulder, so we made due with what we had, namely each other. After some trial and error, Seth and I worked together to get my shoulder back in it's place successfully.
I was luckily able to make a quick fix to my bike and ride out. Although it looks like everything was alright after this, shoulder dislocations are pretty serious injuries, and I have been in a sling for 4 weeks following this accident. I will soon begin physical therapy to rehab it before getting back on the bike.
The road to recovery can be tough, but hey, it's part of the sport we love. I plan on working hard to recover as fast as I can and coming back strong ready to get back riding again!
