Breaking my collar bone on Berm Creek
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 14. 11. 2018
- After doing some work on my backyard mountain bike trails, I decided to finally build some kind of a jump at the bottom. In rushing to put it together and give it a test, I ended up breaking my collar bone and shoulder blade. This puts my off the bike for the season, but at least you can enjoy the story leading up to it.
Given the size of these rollers and the circumstances leading up to the crash, this is easily my dumbest injury to date.

âIâve been hurt plenty of times, but never made those noises beforeâ
*HUAAAAAHUAAAAAAAAAAHUAAAAAAA*
Jesus that's some exorcist level shit
Nikola Tesla bruh I died
7 25
thats when you cant breath and your body freaks out
My mom makes those noises every night
7:31 đ”. Get well soon dude, and god willing you never make those noises again!
Get well soon
Yeah, those were bad noises
That crash sucked, I was worried for Seth through the screen.
@@richandiben yeah sure
Fall from with a bike when going with 15+mph and break your collar bone
Went full chewbacca there
World class mountain bike park: nah
Sketchy lines on the side of a canyon: nah
20 meter back yard mountain bike trail: Iâm about to end this mans whole career
There is a reason the parks are allowed to stay open
Safety regulations!
No one checks your diwhy projects
20 meter backyard trail:Fine i'll do it myself
The reason he broke his collar bone was because he cut corners, even though he knew he needed to build a berm to get The speed he needed, he got impatient. It wasnt the "sketchyness or risk factor that broke his bone. It was improper trail building. At least that's what he said. I've paid the price for cutting corners recently on my mountain bike. I broke the swingarm because of neglect on the shock and pivots. Live and Learn.
Hilarious and original!
Guy: **breaks collar bone**

@Snapxi Nice
đČ So that's why I felt a mini earthquake the other day!
Hi phil
Let Hoi
Did the mini earthquake effect on your balance and scratch you rear triangle? LOL
Are you calling Seth fat?
Do all MTB youtubers feel a disturbance in the force when another one gets injured?
Stitch the shirt back together with some bright orange thread, it'll be like a scar but, for clothes
Excellent use of brain cells!
With the CSK-1?
I like your idea, it will be a really good reminder of "please don't hurry when you are risking your life"! (y)
That's actually a fantastic idea.
Next bike hack?
Seth: that rock wonât be a problem.
Rock: hold my beer.
Seth: Aaaauuuuuhhhhh luuuuuyyyeahhhhhhhhh.
haha
wellllllll
The scream when be crashed was bone chilling.
Dude it doesn't hurt that bad honestly i just broke my collarbone and had to get surgery for it and i alsp fractured my sholder blade
@@therealgeekthatgameszeketh3792 did you even see his helmet, its not like the fracture is the only pain he is receiving
the real geek that games zekethegeek not all injuries feel the same.
@@therealgeekthatgameszeketh3792 ok chad
the real geek that games zekethegeek I did the same yesterday but I can barely sleep you can't do much about it
Dude! Props for getting this out even after just being injured.
â⊠but you know why I donât worry about that? Because⊠MOUNTAIN BIKINGâ
Put the above on the list along with "Watch this" and "Last run" and "Hold my beer"
Ha! I shattered my leg on a "last run" 20 screws and 3 plates in there now :(
Snapped my clavicle on a "last run"
The last time I went skiing my "last run" turned into "maybe I should stop skiing." Nothing broken, but my whole body was a bruise.
@@picklerick3525 LOL I've been doing that for the last 25 years but I have relented and added a decent hybrid ebike to my collection. I love the thing but purists will probably raise an eyebrow. However, anything that keeps me on two wheels at my age is not a bad thing.
That's why I have a rule to never call "last run". It's not my last run just "another run"
5:44 seems like a clip in a Home Depot commercial
Maybe lows
Then the part they cut out is when someone gets horribly injured by some sort of death contraption, nailgun accidents, hand screwed to board, arm wrapped around a lathe.
đ
Speedy recovery Seth, that one had pain written all over it.
Leon Hardouin thanks! Iâll update how the recoveries going!
I did it yesterday I'll tell you one thing trying to sleep hurts a whole lot
@@tylerhayley1043 i did it also,now how are you filling?
@@morganwilliams2863 shattered mine on Saturday. Gunna ask that same question to you now. How is recovery?
@@morganwilliams2863 I had surgery the day after it happened and have plates and screws in. The worst night for me was the night it happened because my collar bone was in 3 pieces for over 20 hours before surgery. How well recovered was your collarbone after 1 week?
There comes a time you just have to accept it's time to slow down a bit. That point is when you don't get up as quickly as you went down, it hurts more than it used to and you take longer to heal. It's nature's way of telling you to chill out a little and whilst you shouldn't give up you should slow down. I'm still cycling at 70 years of age. I used to play soccer, rugby, run cross country, run roads races and even a couple of marathons all that along with competitive swimming. I was a full time firefighter and sporting and work injuries meant I retired with spinal disabilities aged 46 years. I spent a few years feeling sorry for myself recovering from three major surgeries and then suffered a heart attack at 68!!! I haven't given up cycling, in fact, I'm really getting back into it but you have to listen to your body. I was doing far too much and I paid the price. If it hurts rest it. The pressure of making videos on time is not good for your health. Take it easy and heal. We will wait for the videos.
Steven Booth amazing story,
probably some good words of wisdom here
Wtf
Well said, and respect to you!
You nailed Steven đđđđđđ
I'm calling it. 10 hack that you can do whilst you're injured
Seth! Do this!
hahahaha yes that's a great idea
10 one handed hacks lol
Most like I've got in a youtube comment ever đ
@@benno_photography haha classic
8:41
They cut my favourite diamond back shirt. Oh, yeah i also broke my collarbone.
Lol
Diamond back to non MTB riders: oh that's a MTB brand
Diamond back To MTB riders: Gucci? Fuck is Gucci I have diamond back
@@benwatkinson8168 I'd say that's more like Evil bikes
Ouch, but thatâs such a common riders injury that some videos showing your rehab and physical therapy to get back to fitness would probably help a bunch of people
Apparently there were two broken collarbones on my local trails this weekend!
Lol. So true. Got 4 riders I know with broken collar bones.
I think I fractured mine once, trying to jump a 5 foot deep water pass, that was about 12 feet wide. I almost made it! LOL! Missed it by that much! :-)
@@wolrenn rip
The first thing Seth talks about after the crash in the car was his limited edition diamond back shirt đ
Dude killer slam! Glad you are ok and the entire shop wishes you a speedy recovery!
Was more of a SMMEEASSSSSSSSSSSH
Alcoholicone Smeash*
âThe rocks wonât be a problemâ
*yeah seems legit*
Seth, please. Dont rush doing think, PLEASE. Your health is more important than any video, so dont rush it.
tom lewis
He or she ment that they didnât want Seth to rush on something and wait for it and not risk getting hurt but he rushed and, yea
Wow that was a brutal crash. This really illustrates The pressure you must feel as one of, if not the biggest MTB youtubers. I really like the way you edited and put this video together. I wish you a speedy recovery. It will be cool to see some tutorial videos or whatever you come up with!
The fact that this has 681 likes and Seth hearted it yet doesnât have a single comment, I just had to be first
13k Subs With No Video Challenge? đ
brutal?
This was hard to watch. I never like to see people crash. Not only does it physically hurt, but it can take quite awhile for you to mentally get back into the game.
Sleeping is going to rough for a minute, so hope you heal up quick!
Agreed
same...
Watching people crash is funny, and it's part of the sport.
I agree, I hate seeing crashes. Nothing funny at all about someone getting hurt. If it's a silly crash and they're fine, then okay, it can be funny.
Itâs super hard to watch for me since I crashed last month and lost 2 teeth. Iâm glad I didnât break my collar bone though thatâs way worse.
"The rocks won't be a problem"
damn, that rock impact looked really painful. This was really hard to watch, i've been through an almost identical injury, with a shoulder blade fracture and a broken collar bone, along with a broken wrist and a few broken fingers.
holy $hit!!!
I have had two broken arms tore the ligaments in my foot had multiple broken toes and fingers but I have somehow not broken my collarbone
Doctor: your collarbone is broken
Seth: you riped my favorite dimondback shirtđŹ i dont think they make it anymoređ
Well, my doc didn't want to cut my shirt when I came in with a broken collarbone. "Nah, it's a nice shirt, I'd rather not cut it!". And we actually did manage to get it off without destroying it or me. đ
đđđ
I had a doctor cut a 150 dollar supreme shirt when I broke my arm
"I got exactly what I wanted... content" I choked on my food laughing xD
Thats too dangreous u can die about that my friend died be carefull and dont be stupid
@@mrwolf3682 You're right.
7:31 was almost the same scream i did when i broke my arm in half, bone out and shit.
When you break something, you scream differently i noticed. Unfortunately...
When I split my femur diagonally I just constantly let out a shrill screech as hard as I could
When I broke my wrist I kind of layed on the flour in a ball wanting to puke out my brains.
@@zedpwner how did you fracture your femur bone like its the strongest bone in the body
Iâm rewatching this for motivation. Just separated my shoulder and wondering what Iâll do for the next few monthsâčïž we all crash eventually. Itâs what we learn about the crash that counts. Thanks for sharingđđ»
Take care of yourself, and after recovery maybe time to do some muscle building to help on the recovery.
Brother... I'm a former pro wrestler and stunt performer. That crash made me cringe so hard!!!!!!! I've seen some shit but that was brutal.
Baked Chaser yeah when I saw all his weight go down on his shoulder on the rocks and ridge of the edge of the trail I shuddered
Great spirit Seth! All the best and speedy recovery! Rest well , recover and get stronger than before! Appreciate your devotion to your work, style of presentation and personality shown in the videos! Looking forward for those winter videos.
Seth after breaking 4 bones: âIâm gonna go dig into that foodâ
I'm not just here for the mountain biking, I'm here to see you. Get well soon kid, cheers!
Dude that noise you made! That noise made me feel sick! Sending healing vibes đšââïž
indeed
Made me feel sick to my stomach seeing my favorite CZcamsr is that much pain
Awe Seth! That was so painful to watch man. Youâve got years ahead of you. Pace yourself brotha. No oneâll ever say you donât put it on the line. Screw âem if they do!
All I can say is... if it were easy, anyone would do it... let alone even try. So ...Seth you were awesome despite the crash. Best wishes and take your time...
Seth, now youâre going to have to bring Blake in from GMBN to be your rider stunt double!
I knew something was wrong when I didnât get a notification for 2 weeks âïž
Hope youâre alright now đ
JameZz_MTB Yeah!
Itâs so cool watching seths old vids and how much the channel has progressed
When just getting into mountain biking last month I stumbled across your channel. Have watched and rewatched so many of your âfillerâ videos because of their immense value to getting started. Hope you get healed smoothly.
Should change your endphrase to: Tnx for almost dying with me today and see you next time! đ
But for real, speady recovery!
MisterGiant this made me laugh out loud
this week on seth's bike hacks "which bone did I break?" get feeling better Seth!
Your content has helped me so much while Iâve had a broken wrist from a bike accident. Love the stuff man keep on keeping on!
I am so awed (is that a word?) by your creativity, how you are living your passion, and also your willingness to show success and failure. Your channel truly is a value to me and for that I thank you. Heal quickly and keep up the good work!
The moment Seth mentioned those rocks I immediately winced. I wish there were bales of hay for him instead of those rocks when that happened.
Hay? no, bigass marshmallows. he need bigass marshmallows
Iâve been watching your videos for some time, but I havenât commented until now, but this time I have some pretty solid advice for you. Not mountain biking advice, as Iâm a total novice at that, but collarbone breakage advice. Iâve broken my collarbone twice, and I can say that I really, truly feel sorry for you. The first time I broke mine was skiing, and throughout the healing process the pain wasnât as bad as the feeling of not being able to do anything active. I was about three weeks from healing fully and I decided to play some ultimate frisbee with my friends... which ended in re-breaking the bone. So, I was mostly incapacitated for a total of six consecutive months. My advice is not to get impatient or try to rush the healing process, because the potential to re-injure yourself is quite high, and having a broken collarbone sucks. Iâm sure we will all be understanding if you post less content for the next few months. Good luck living the one-armed life, and just remember to be patient.
The trouble with collar bones is that they are so thin that when healed, unlike thicker bones, they become far weaker and prone to breaking again. Each break exacerbates the problem and it takes longer to heal. Twice as painful too.
When I was in highschool, one of my teammates on the basketball team broke his collar bone playing some backyard football. He rushed to get back for the basketball season and rebroke it his first game back, diving for a basketball. Definitely don't rush the healing.
Had my first collar bone break last March. Everything you said at the beginning of the video is so relatable.
Seth!
I love your videos! (Donât we all?!)
I had two major reconstructive knee surgeries in 2018 (June and October) - rappelling gone wrong...
With almost a year up from the first procedure, I have been getting on my bike a little each day and have been slowly practicing/relearning those basic mtb movements. All said and done, I will miss 2 seasons! :/
Thanks for posting this video! It is a great reminder that we all get injured and then have to work (frustratingly) to rebuild these skills each time.
Back to those green lines for me (for now).
Stay healthy!
(I am sure that you are already better by now).
Get well soon Seth. Wish you a speedy recovery.
The sounds! The horror!
Absolutely the most horrifying 10 seconds ever.
Seth, thanks for uploading this and for sharing your battle wounds! I am nursing a ruptured Bi-Cep tendon from last year!! I am amazed at how long it is taking for me to get strength back.
a really encouraging vid. Blessings on your recovery!
Sorry to hear man! I broke my right clavicle last year. Oct 1, 2017. Broke into 5 pieces and was oddly not the most painful part of my crash. My hip took the full force of an awkward OTB onto flat. I elected for surgery and a plate along with 7 screws re-attaching everything to normal length. This was a great choice for me. Being a big dude and loving symmetry on my body, my clavicle is fully healed and the same length as my left one. I also elected for a second surgery to remove the plate two weeks ago. I did so not because it bothered me so much (although it made a backpack a bit uncomfortable and hurt a little every time giving my daughter âpiggy backsâ), but I was more worried about breaking it again, which my doctor forwarded me that it could be much harder to repair. Anyhoo. I have X-rays if it broken and with a plate. Donât yet know how to share, but would gladly do so. Let me know.
I hope you heal well. Love the videos no matter if you ride or not. Keep up being awesome.
hello sir, i just broke mine. just wanted to ask, do you get all your shoulder ROM back?
@@kenkentuts hi Kenzie. Yes I got it back. I did elect to get my plate removed after a year. The plate never really say well with me. My clavicle is still a little tender, but back to riding hard no problem.
Keep at it and donât let it get you down! Youâll get back to normal, and maybe with some cool scars :)
@@kozybearcat thank you man, you really put my mind at ease :D, also be careful wirh your next ride :D
@@kozybearcat also can you lift heavy stuff now?
@@kenkentuts other than it being a little tender, My strength is back to normal. Working out big muscle groups seemed to work for me. Nothing too isolated. Push ups, dumbbells, rowing.
The tenderness makes it a little uncomfortable to wear a heavy back pack. But that is really the only side effect.
I broke my collar bone straight in half at Windrock 5 weeks ago and had to climb down the mountain by myself with my bike... I feel your pain dude.
Same, just not at windrock. And I have a separated shoulder. It sucks walking down the mountain and sleeping upright
I recently busted two ribs, after seemingly falling out of the sky onto my own elbow (front wheel slipped the top of a very high bank riding under full speed and compression). I walked it down from mid mountain, and was feeling somewhat ok, until the freaking adrenaline wore off! I canât even breath hard without bringing tears to my eyes!
@Mr.Moonboy ouchhhh that's a hell of a mountain to climb down after breaking your collar bone.. what trail were you on if you don't mind me asking.
Jonathan Arnold Trail One. Went of that sketchy rock drop section and got caught up on a root and got flung. The GoPro video of it is up on my channel if you want to watch it.
Clicking "Like" felt wrong, but you understand what I mean.
your dedication to get your vids out as unquestionable as ever! fair play, wish u speedy recovery! đđ»đȘđ»
Hardcore fall; totally love the honesty and no bullshit view of an injury that you could have just played off, instead you released a raw, honest and respectable take of the truth... thank you!
I am late in viewing this video as you are up and running by now, but always wishing you agility (to beat the sketchy), to run the right line, and success.
You should have sayed in the end: Thanks for crashing with me, an i'll see you next time.
As one of the biggest mtb youtubers this just shows the pressure you had to make a video this week. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Kind of what I was thinking, these guys live or die by producing content. It just doesn't seem healthy to me.
the insane work ethic gets you up there. mad kudos to the driven.
Lots of viewers, lots of gear, little skill.
Hi Seth.
My daughter and I have watched this a couple time's and everything we both wince.
As I've seen this a year late, glad you made a full recovery and really enjoy your style and content.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for this old video Seth, Iâm watching this in 2020 and recently started riding too (since pandemic started) broke my collarbone on a jump at a local trail out here in Sugarland Texas, I was really bummed to hear it was broken but this video just gave me motivation to heal better and quicker to get back on the trails and maybe check out Spider Mountain (Austin Tx) in 2021!!
when i saw those rocks in a past video, i just had a gut feeling they were a bad idea...especially when you're flying off a 10+ft drop and then blazing through the first turn. get well brother!
"But, you know why I don't worry about that? Because, mountain biking." -Seth 8:11
I didn't know seth had a brother
Hey Seth, it's alright If you don't get a video out for the scheduled time, your health is more important than some youtube video so please take care and get some rest for now đ
Only problem being, no content = no income.
8:15 âYou know why I donât worry about that? Mountain biking.â
This video was posted the day on my wrist surgery. Took a really stupid fall heading back to the car while snowboarding in Colorado. Broke my Radius and my Ulna. The surgeon said it wasn't that bad, and that I'd have an 8 week or so recovery time. But after spending three hours longer on the operating table than anticipated. And having my wrist reconstructed three times, I've now got two pins sticking all the way through my wrist and a recovery time of four to six months now. I feel your pain. And I look forward to the content. (currently watching in the middle of the night because I can't sleep due to the pain and I can't take any meds for another hour)
I will not watch this video a 2nd time. That was painful just to watch. Hope you heal up fast, man!
Same, I really dislike seeing people get injured like that. I hope he has a speedy recovery.
7:30 oh man that sucked. Get better soon.
Seth thanks for the videos, new sub here trying to get into mountain biking at 39 years young! I Got a 2006 Gary Fisher Advance Aluminum for 30 bucks at a thrift store. Cleaned it up, adjusted it up, got a new seat and grips and the thing rides like a champ! I Took it to a trail for the 1st time in a long time for me and for the bike, and had a blast. I am excited about getting into mountain biking but that crash made me a bit scared haha!
Awesome video. Iâm amazed at how I didnât even get the urge to skip ahead because of how everything was sequenced and edited.
Great job!
7:24 - It was at this moment he knew he f*cked up
Haha
âI broke my collar boneâ good job Seth
Ps. You should check into acerbis hand guards to protect your hands from tree crashes
Handgaurds for a mountain bikeđ
You are AMAZING!!! DO NOT let people bring you down. You are special. I wish you a great future.
Prayers for a quick recovery. Those shoulder fractures are no joke man. Keep it up, looking forward to repair videos!
You should name it crash creek
He should name himself crash creek. He is the crashingest man on 2 wheels
death creek*
that's funny!!!
yea good name for the rollers.. the crashing pumps.
You should get a neck brace for downhill
RideAllegretto this comment is way underrated, needs to be top comment!
RideAllegretto but then he would have to wear a full face helmet
@@andrewshuros4115 he has one. But only for park. Which is what he needs a neck brace for
up this comment
The Giro Switchblade MIPS helmet has a removable full chin guard. Even with the guard off, the helmet is still fully compatible with most neck braces. Almost the best of both worlds. The only stupid looking protective gear, are the ones that are forgotten or consciously not worn, defying common sense.
Hey man only jus started riding and wachin ya vids (which i have been lovin!!). and have to say that is a tough break there!!! for all your sketchy pain noises i still think you took that like a trooper!! hope you have a speedy recovery and ya back riding soon dude , nod g
Wow Seth huge bummer! I really enjoy your channel and I'm so sorry you got hurt making vids for us. Here's wishing you a smooth recovery
Hey Seth, Dan here from Australia. Sucks to see you injured like this as you are my favourite youtuber. Would just like to say you are the reason I've recently bought a mountain bike and your videos inspire me to ride as often as possible. Keep up the quality content and please don't go sending something for the content again ! :)
Classic seth
Oh man! That looked painful! Praying you heal up fast!
It doesn't seem too big of a deal, until you hear Seth screaming his soul out from pain. Holy moly...
Look after yourself man. No video is worth that kind of hurt!
Julian Goulding yap!. Same thought. But this man is a pro, and he allways knows what he is doing. But, allways, take care, think ahead, avoid injuries. Recovery, recovery, recovery. Look forward for your next home video. Everybody is looking after you and gives all our support. No words to describe what happend, but avoid this in the future.
Do u know Steve O from jackass? He build a career from injuries
Can we get a rip in the chat for Sethâs clavicle
rip
F
It's f not rip
honestly his riding days r done with that that's such a high movement area hes not gunna be able to take jumps and more its gunna hurt him just holding on
Ive broken both my collar bones, had full shoulder reconstructive surgery in my right shoulder, and have separated my left shoulder a good 7-8 times. I have zero problem pulling up, jumping, or continuing to ride. Go big (and sometimes go to the hospital) or go home.
Woah, hope you get well soon. Really like the fact that you can build a trail in your backyard, and now you have an impressive story to tell about it ;)
Seth, just discovered your channel - I got the exact same injury doing something quite similar. I give you a lot of credit because it took me out for an entire season. Breaking your scapula sucks! It totally freaked everyone out at the ER because like you say itâs rare, usually car accidents. Welcome to sloping bumpy shoulder club!
Hope you get betterđ. I missed the whole of summer because of my collar bone and thats my favuorite riding seasong in the UK.
You should make one of those big wooden berms at the first corner
Speedy recovery dude! The rockes killed it! wishing you well from the Philippines
Heal well Seth and thank you for all the great content.
Congratulations on the million!
âAnd i ended up getting what i wanted, contentâ oh ffs dude đ
I instantly went âsheeshhhhâ
Godspeed recovery mah man
Get well soon man!!! Take care!!!! We love the videos!!!
Big man. Stay safe out there. We all want Seth for days! Heal fast and steady.
that was painful even to watch!!!, get well soon Seth!! ,đȘđȘđȘ
AWESOME new vid!! Berm Creek definitely needed a jump added to it!
It SUCKS that you got that injuryâčïž On the bright side...itâs the offseasonđ Keep up the great content!đ€đ€â ïž
Bad luck man, hope your recovery goes well!
I had a similar accident but on my back, I also knew I wasnât going to clear it but I didnât stop in time and then landed on my back after a 5 foot drop. I feel your pain.
at 7:30 he sounds like morty from rick and morty lol. sorry ant the injury seth i bet you will still make good content even with a broken bone
he's done it before
so true
Stay strong Seth!!! I ended up braking my shoulder blade in half last July and also partially fracturing my sternum. Took me 3 months and I was back on the bike. The docs told me that the shoulder blade fracture/brake was super rare as well. Just means we went down hard! You'll bounce back better than ever. Just make sure to not push the healing process too hard.
Your experience is similar to mine last year. I broke my right shoulder blade last year in four places. For like 4 or 5 hours I thought that I had just badly dislocated my shoulder, but when I heard the radiologist say she had never seen that before I was like, "Well that can't be good." Glad you also healed up well.
Damn bro! I hate to see you take that slam. One of the hardest things about riding is getting back on the bike, and you have done it time and again. Your perseverance is inspiring. I hope you heal sooner than expected and hear more about how to get mentally fit for action.
Aww man, I felt that from here in Antigua!
I can relate, having damaged my right Rotator Cuff in a heavy off, aided and abetted by a car.
Heal fast and we all look forward to seeing you back on the bikes soonest.
