Simpson Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Was out riding with Rob yesterday when he had a awkard fall riding his trials bike on dirt jumps, where on a table top he bumped his front wheel on the lip which sent him straight him straight over the bars. After going to hospitial it turned out he had snapped his 2 AC ligiments which hold down the collar bone in your shoulder, so his collar bone had effectivly dislocated and recovery is going to be fairly long and painfull - he didn't look best pleased yesterday!So London legend Rob... Get well soon man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 A young guy over here died yesterday from exactly the same thing. Needless to say he was novice but none the less..Im really not supprised by the way rob went down, guessing he broke his neck trying to hang onto the bars? Don't forget Robs not a shabby rider in the slightest, yet a small dirt jump caught him out, and later in the day on my mates DJ bike i nearly suffered the same fate.
