- A broken scaphoid is pretty common in mountain bikers.. and it sucks. They're slow to heal, and for such a small bone, you need a massive cast. This is the story of how I broke mine.

Feel better. Similar thing happened this past Friday. I was going down a hill, focusing on a skinny, fell in a ditch, and cut my lip. Fun
Matt Dam
Matt cool
Yea I just got cleared to ride again after breaking my radius at trestle
yeah just last week I was about to do a rather difficult drop with a very short runup, and my front suspension locked up right when I was about to go over the drop. I landed in the middle of my front tire, the tire bent, and I was scratched up and winded. But other than a broken tire and some scratches I was pretty fine
EnderAlphaEntertainment sounds expensive
Ah bummer. Heal up!
Rémy Métailler Hi love you videos
Ur a real sub i see u on like every video
Him and Eric are like best mates and remy is also such a good rider
Remy have you ridden this trail?
I love how that dog is basically keeping pace with a bunch of ppl on bikes
Dogs are ridiculously fast. I can barely keep up with our little pup when she's going easy. When she sees a squirrel she goes at least twice my maximum sprinting speed. Until she comes to the end of the extending leash, that is.
I know, right? I didn't wanna say anything because someone was injured, but I was giggling every time the puppers brought them back a stick!
Usually it’s the best day when bcpov drops a video... but then... the title
Noooooooooooooo!!!!
Yeah:(
Ya
HEY I BROKE THE SAME WRIST AND HAD THE SAME CAST! Today’s gonna be a good day
15k subs before 2021 ayyy I did too!
same hahaha
Me too, the same bone cast and everything. I still have it on but only need it for 2 more weeks.
Nathan Olson it took me 3 months to get back to riding.
me too
man that really stinks, hope you feel better soon
Yeah me too it’s rather unfortunate
"today on BCpov i crash and payed the price"
Hope he brings this back... pretty please!
“I feel like if I just do it I’ll be fine” not really the case
Famous last words
DS.M30W ZR yes haha
*Morgan Freeman Voice* "As it turned out, it was not fine"
The GoPro effect comes in here too! Love the rock slabs! Get better soon!!
We need to subscribe so that he can make that money back to buy a new gimbal.
Edit: HOLY MOLY! Thank you so much for 25 likes!
The irony of having to create thumbnails with an injured thumb! Be well, and heal quickly!
when you're living this sort of lifestyle, putting in this much ride time on such sketchy terrain, it's inevitable to happen. Good thing your relatively ok. Heal up and get back out there!
I feel so depresed after watching this for some reason
Do I hear of some trail builds coming soon?
I immediately clicked this and remember when I was doing a skinny and sketchy tabletop, slid out, and got a hairline fracture on my wrist (6 weeks); the most frustrating thing (warning to Eric) is that even when you get your cast off, it takes several months to get back to the confidence you used to have in your hand; RIP Eric’s hand, very unfortunate
What are the odds I watch this video before I go riding and I go over my bars and fractured the exact same bone.
Gang man! get well soon so y’all can come back to Arkansas.
Bummer! Glad nothing more serious happened! If there's not a lot of "stranger" comments down below this I'll be severely disappointed.
Hey i try you bevore 3 weeks i break me my finger one bone higher
i'm over the bar
Sorry for the englisch i'm german
I hate the time - dont bycicle
Lol that was terrible English but no worries just thought it was funny
What

Lol
I literally broke the exact same bone in the exact same spot on Saturday. As a triple whammy, I also sprained the left wrist AND am paying for American Healthcare thru it all. I feel your pain, Eric
Unfortunately the US Health System probably hurts the most.
Get well soon... I agree with you that it could have been worse and I'm just glad it wasn't. That trail was super sketch and seeing you just slide down it I knew it had to be like 40% grade, which is no joke. The rock seemed to be like a smooth river rock, which made me think why you were not getting any traction in braking.
I'm right handed as well and when I broke my right collar bone, yes, it was indeed a great difficulty.
The one thing that is never mentioned is how much more difficult wiping is. You've spent your entire life training your right hand and suddenly, you need to use your left? Theoretically, it's easy but there is no muscle memory.
That was the biggest challenge for me.
Lol. I had to go from right handed back to front to left handed front to back.
Aw man.How are we gonna live vicariously now. Get well soon man 😁👍 Looking forward to more vids.
*holds front brake as front wheel rolls off ledge and becomes weighted. Front wheel stops slipping and gains traction. Bike rotates around wheel and sends Eric over bars*
Eric: “a bump in the trail caused this”
You crash because you’re always trying to slow down. Just trust it and starting hitting things with speed and LET GO of the damn brakes every now and then.
Well I know how it feels to not ride due to an injury, I'm watching this while I can't ride because of a broken right collarbone. It sucks to not ride.
I feel your pain! When i first started riding I had Gopro karma grip gimbal and the grip impaled my chest as I crashed. Left a nasty looking bruise and it hurt for some time. That was the last time I used it like that. Heal quick!
7:27 I vaguely remember Jordan Boostmaster riding into a tree at a pretty high speed and it seemed really painful.
wishing you a fast and safe recovery
Bummer man heal up!
I broke my wrist before racing atv’s its no fun have a nice titanium plate in there and 9 screws and a big scar i had to also wear a brace for almost a whole year before it didn’t hurt anymore!
Mate I'm feeling your Gimbal chest injury! Landed square on my chest the other weekend and the sudden compression of the chest mount bolt does leave a mark! Although I had a bit more flabby stuff to absorb it haha. Speedy recovery my dude.
Best wishes for a quick and full recovery! Writing this with my arm in a sling from a hairline break in right scapula. My tuck-and-roll technique wasn't enough on my last crash.
Nasty spill, Eric! And yea, I wear a gimbal as well and it does make me a little nervous. I think about it every time I'm about to head down a steep drop. Anyway, I'm glad you didn't need surgery, rest up!
editing videos and "thumb nails" is beacoming hard.
thumb nails haha 🤣!!!
Sorry about that man
()
ouch man!
omg bro i love yuka so much shes just so iconic and so sweet 😭
Dude! Bummer! I've done exactly that too!
i had a cast on 4 half a year soooo l:
At least you ain’t paralysed
FrostBite Pokin that is my worry. Broken collar bone twice. Arm 3. Ankle 1. But my spine always my biggest worry
Done that a couple of times in my younger jumpy days, hurts like hell getting back on your bike. Was a nasty OTB, somehow the slow one's can feel worse. Gutted man, hope you recover quickly 👍
Holy shit! Don't know why this video was suggested to me, but I did something similar to my wrist/forearm but I did this at mountain creek. Fortunately I only severely sprained my forearm muscles. F@#$%ing sucks cause I am a sonogram tech and I scan with my right hand. I feel you mtb brother. I'm soooooo limited and its been 2 weeks since I rode and I just want to ride so bad. All you guys that damaged this arm, I feel for you and heal quick. 🤙🤙🤙
Yep. Going slow isn't always your friend. I have done the exact same thing! A tad bit more speed to carry momentum, you would have had that! Heal up and send it again man. Here's to a speedy recovery! 🤟
THIS. I scrolled and scrolled hoping at least one person would mention it. This guy consistently tries to tackle tech features while anxiously creeping and skidding quite often. That’s passenger status. There’s definitely a time and place for snail’s pace, but most times a bit or more momentum is your friend. It’s just understanding how much speed (USING it more often) and how to manage it. (braking control).
@@jeremyprovonsil7886 💯
Went off a drop went otb then landed on a upfaced pvc pipe and went right to my chest. couldn't sit up for days. Hope you get better. :)
Went OTB at Winter Park on the drop off of BeeAllYouCanBe and got a concussion. Literally landed and my left foot came off the pedal and pretty much rode my bar on my stomach until I smeashed my head. Concussions suck like any other injury, feel better and keep shredding!
Scaphoid sucks dude, I've broken mine a couple times and now it's permanently fractured and will never heal fully. I use a wrist brace on the bike and it's all good. Computer work in a cast like that freaking sucks... I ended up getting a big round Microsoft mouse that tilts the hand more and it kinda worked...
I just fractured my rist from doing a 20 foot jump as well
Like your profile pic, is it an autech?
Lisa May na it’s a gtr
I know, but is it a Nissan GTR autech racecar
Lisa May not sure
I broke my wrist (scaphoid) , had the same cast and it just came off yesterday. Godd to have someone to relate to, it sucks but you'll be good as new in 12 weeks!
Heal quick! I fractured my scaphoid and it took over a year and 2 surgeries to get it to heal
This wouldn’t have happened with the Grim Donut 🤷♂️
I feel you man! I recently tore my bicep tendon and cant ride for another 6 weeks at least... Here's to a speedy recovery for both of us. Cheers!
I hope you have a strong recovery. Thanks for sharing this one. It gives a great heads up on how fast an injury can happen. Really glad it didn't require surgery.
If it makes you feel any better I broke my worst 5 weeks ago and I’m still in my hard cast. I did it on an easy blue trail. 🤦🤦
If you still think you can make content, Thats Great! I admire your dedication haha
The question here is: do you really get so much from these 50m sketchy sections that you're willing to risk months of not riding at all just for a couple of seconds which I would say you don't really enjoy? I personally would prefer to ride all summer accident free and skip these parts totally, life's too short. But hey, that's just me. I'm not a professional, I don't do competitions and I have plenty of opportunities to get outside my confort zone without risking serious injuries.
I speak from experience unfortunately, I too broke 4 bones in my wrist. Since then, f**k these sections, I'm hiking my way around them and enjoy the rest of the 99.99999% of the ride.
are u still going to ride in north america
Hey bcpov, I just went mountain biking and broke my wrist. Keep up the good vids :)
Erik heal up! So sad... I mean that was happend it was a typical professional mistake. Looked forward instead of looking infront of the tire 😀. It's steep and kinda slippery. Anyway it's a good video. Good luck, have fun and ride save. 😉. I'm glad to see your next video after you're ok.
This is crazy. I literally did this to my left wrist 3 weeks ago at the Trestle Bike Park on a wet wood feature (snowed the night before). Getting surgery tomorrow and they are taking out a plate (previous injury while snowboarding) and putting a pin in the scaphoid. Left swelled up super nicely ha Crazy.
As soon as you showed the spot where it was about to happen I could see the wheel sized hole in the dirt. This is almost exactly the same thing that happened to me in Tasmania two years ago, but luckily I didn't break my hand. At least, the doctor didn't say I did... But I couldn't use that hand for two weeks after the accident. I'm surprised you could ride out, I couldn't even hold my grip after I hurt my hand. That's the "Syd and Macky" video I have on my own RUclips channel lol...
I just broke my wrist as well, and I’m off of biking for 6 weeks as well
Same
OOOOOH i feel for you. i broke my thumb skiing on my birthday
Uh that's a bummer! Hope you heal fast. I (Dom) went over the bars and landed on my forearm about the same time frame as you. Luckly nothing was broken but I did shear the fat layer between the bone and the muscle. Super painful and swelling was huge. Still recovering from it 7th week now. Stay safe!
Hope you get better soon bcpov
Hey buddy! Hope you mend fast! Can you please tell me what editing software you are currently using? Thank you in advance! DUGMTB
My scaphloid and collar bone just healed 😅
That stinks. Hope you heal fast Eric. One of my bike buddies is out after hitting a tree and tweaking his rib. Another out with a broken collarbone. Everybody hurts!
Dude, that frigen sucks! I know how you feel though. Not being able to ride is worse than having the injury isn't it? Heal up fast and well my friend!!!!
I was just in a cast like that when i tore my UCL on the inside of my thumb in a crash. 8 weeks. The loss of strength in my wrist from the cast is worse than the the recovery from the tear. Its weak, not flexible, uncomfortable, but healing and getting better every day. Go slow bro. Don't push it too hard. They take a long time to heal.
Same! Stupid Squamish...
I went the gym for 10 years . I've not broken bones when I fall .. maybe they stronger or I bounce off things cause of the extra muscle. My mates seem to snap like sticks. I receive more road rash tho. lol
Thankfully you cant blame it on the trail dog- the most hazardous of mtb hazards.
I love my dog but I don't want her under my wheels, or otb'in my butt.
Hope you get better soon!! I know the feeling. 5 more weeks for me with a broken heal 😢
Ouch! Sorry for your accident. Get a GoPro 9 and you won't need a gimbal though. I have an 8 and it's amazingly smooth.
Eeekkk sorry man
Y'all need some enduro bikes. Them trail bikes no go on those kinds of terrain.
"Your mom's enduro"... I NEED THAT SHIRT
Hope you are doing good and well
Wiping your butt opposite handed is a real delight. :/ Bummer about the crash, but way to make a good narrative around it!
Getting injured really sucks Eric. Sorry it happened. In 2013, I just bought a new bike and had a tip over crash going up a technical climb and broke my right wrist also. A small break at the end of my radius. So here I was with a new bike that was just sitting for 4 weeks. UGH! You seem to stay busy though, so the time will go by quickly. Speedy recovery! Bob T
You've had surprisingly good luck with your scaphoid injuries. I broke the one in my left hand in 2005 while snowmobiling. I went through a snow-covered ditch and a ski caught a rock I couldn't see, and I got tossed over the bars. I landed on my back so it was the impact of my hand against the handlebars that did it. I went to the doctor and they took x-rays and sent me home saying nope, you just sprained your wrist.
A few days later they called and said come back in, they aren't sure anymore. Some other doc looked at the x-ray and insisted there was a hairline fracture. So they sent me to an orthopedist, who frankly, was a real asshole (it was the orth's assistant, not the actual ortho). He put me in a cast for about two weeks, which I hated, though I still managed to go snowmobiling despite the cast. Then they removed it, though I don't remember why. That assistant guy was such a total jerk I just said thanks but no thanks, I'm outta here and left.
Some months later, I remember being on my 4wd quad climbing a hill and remember hitting a rock just right and it snapped the handlebars hard left into my hand again. THAT hurt. I just ignored it and it eventually felt better. BUT, ever since the original impact on the snowmobile, my hand had a dull ache most of the time. When it rained, it got worse. It weird because it ran up my index finger. But I dealt with it since during all this time, I no longer had health insurance.
Fast forward a number of years and I again approached an ortho about it. They did a cat scan. It showed that the scaphoid had snapped in two, but there was no osteonecrosis, so they recommended doing nothing at this time. He said he couldn't guarantee that doing surgery would make it stop hurting, so he said wait until I can't stand it anymore, then come back.
Fast forward a few MORE years and I again approached another ortho about it. The x-ray showed that the two pieces had come back together and were starting to heal, though not optimally. They of course wanted a ton of money and my insurance at the time was so lame that it'd cost me about $6000 out of pocket to do it. So I again said screw it.
And to this day I have a f'd up left wrist. It doesn't affect my life THAT much... yeah it hurts a bit at times, but I've adapted to a slightly limited range and I almost NEVER grip handlebars the "traditional" way anymore; instead, I grasp them as if I didn't have a thumb. It feels better that way and is probably safer. :)
My crash was at 25 mph, awkward take-off, with a really bad landing in some rocks along the trail. My prize, fractured right radius in five pieces, all of which somehow stayed together. Like you, with the adrenaline I was able to get the rest of the way down the mountain and drive home, one handed. Now I am four weeks into recovery. The lucky thing is that while I really bruised up my other hand, I didn't break anything, two broken hands/arms would have really sucked. "Honey, can you come in and wipe my butt for me". Hope you heal up quickly.
Sucks dude. Sorry about the wrist. I'll trade you the wrist for my concussions. ;)
Sorry about your fracture and FOOSH (Fall On Outstretched Hands) injuries are so common. I have always admired your smart and caution approach to features. I was commenting to MTB Alan about wearing protective wrist supports as he had a similar injury. It certainly makes me think about protecting my wrist. Here’s to a speedy recovery.
OMG! SAME EXACT BONE AND WRIST HAPPENED TO ME LAST WEEK! I got six weeks with a cast on too. Not stoked to not be allowed to ride but I need to take a break anyway. Well I guess we can get through it together
Just broke 2 ribs and cartilage in my sternum fractured left elbow and arm at XXX Ca. Out for 8 weeks right before the best dirt days. Argh So all I have been doing is watching videos of other ride. Then came across you and your lady. The traveling MTB DUO! Great videos!!!!
Broke my wrist early this year in Kamloops. Same blue cast. Also my right wrist, but it was a burst fracture on my radius bone. Eight weeks, and then a couple extra of light work.
Thankfully, I'm ambidextrous and was already working with my mouse left-handed.
Happy healing!
Wait wait wait!!!! I think i broke my scaphoid a year ago, but didn't even go to the doctor🥺 cause that time i can't really move my thumb, and my whole arm was hurting cause a dislocated my shoulder, so i thought it was normal😆 I'm from the Philippines and that time i just went to the "manghihilot" which is like a chiropractor and a massager mix together 😅(that's the best way i can explain it) my arm healed 5 or 6 months, I don't know if my scaphoid was broken that time but i don't have much grip cause it hurts🤣 i can still ride a bike but with 1 hand at that time.
Love yours and Yukas channel. After 30 yrs of clipless I’m about to go to flats. I just watched your video on switching over in late 2019. You look really comfortable on them now. How has the transition been and how long did it take to be comfortable on them?? Breaking your dominant wrist is horrible - hope you heal well.
Mountain Biking in the USA is so scetch if you fall of and have to go to hospital that costs tons!
Man, I broke my scaffoid too going over the bars. rode a while more that day and it just got progressively more painful and swollen afterwards til I realized I probably should go to the doctor. Now you've got a matching set ;). Sorry it happened. Heal up quick!
You likely have some non-displaced anterior rib fractures. Pretty much impossible to see on x-ray. It doesn't change clinical management (not something you'd get surgery for) so they don't bother with CT to actually diagnose it. The gimbal mount spreads out the force over a fairly large area (making sternal injury less likely) and is right where we would do chest compressions for CPR - which is probably the most common scenario to see anterior rib fractures. Good luck with the scaphoid healing.
How have you been?
Time has passed this year. I hope you take care of the cold weather and health based on Korea. ^O^
Oyyy, broke my scaphoid 10 years ago long boarding. 10 years and 3 surgeries later Im without my left scaphoid and have a fused hand. Scaphoid fracture is no joke, as you know. Good news is I still ride hard, fused hand and all! Keep your head up and by god do everything possible to ensure that thing heals up. Blood flow is key!
Good recovery Eric ! Six weeks without video, it will be long.
But I have a question, what is your video editing software? I'm starting my youtube channel and I can't find a software that suits me.a
I send you courage from France (sorry for my english ;) )
Nursing a left clavicle which happened last week on Burke Mountian. 90% displacement so my skin is tented in that area. It looks gross but could have been a lot worse. Another rider found me and made a temporary sling from a tire tube he had. I laid in the creek for who knows how long before he found me. He made the calls on my cell and soon my Neibour’s and friends helped me down the mountain to a waiting ambulance. A couple of days ago I checked out the bike...not a scratch.Ok a misaligned bar that took 30sec to realign. I want to ride again...right now, but i may have to wait until November. I’ll need a new helmet.
Man, I'm Brazilian, and I also had bad luck in this pandemic. I fractured my collarbone in a very ugly bike accident. I had to operate, plate and 7 screws ... I will probably just ride my bike next year ... this is very sad! Get better for you !!
Yikes. Watching this, I'm now wondering if I broke my wrist a while back. Came up short on a jump and went OTB. It felt like other broken bones I've had, but not quite as bad so I didn't get it checked out. Had a bunch of pain in my wrist, especially around the base of the thumb for a couple of months. Was off the bike for a good few weeks after that.
Hope you feel better soon. Bruised ribs ain't no fun. Happened to me a month or two ago. Misjudged a small jump and landed flat on my torso and wrists. Even though I was only wearing a heart rate monitor (nothing like your gimbal) it was three weeks before I could sleep normally without an extra pillow for support. Luckily, the wrists were only sprained.
Feeling with you Bro. Broke my Shoulder while biking 3 months ago.. Still not back on the bike.. and I will take my time and not rush it.. strength needs to be fully back first. But also good stuff came out of it.. I bought a smart trainer and this will get my fitness trough every winter from now on.. that would otherwise never have happened ;) stay positive dude!!
Heal up.. I broke mine last year at a bike park. Sure is a stupid little bone to break and takes way too long to heal even without surgery.
Feel your pain. I have had avulsion fractures in both wrists. Check out the Mobius X8 wrist brace. A little pricey BUT it got me back on the bike way faster on my second fracture. Has an insane natural feel when your wrist is in extension. The brace is so comfortable it can be worn even after fully healing to help prevent future injuries while going OTB.
Hey hope you feel better soon. I am 12 and my brother is 9, we watch you and Yuka's video everyday. We really enjoy them. If you're ever in Fernie again, please let us know and we could show you around. Emma and Cedrik Proulx
I fractured my neck at beginning of summer and have sailed through the healing process. Load up on Vit D3 and K2. Vit D3 draws calcium out from the foods we eat and puts it in our blood. Vit K2 then activates a protein leads the calcium from our blood to our bones and teeth. D3 can lead to a magnesium deficiency so add magnesium to your diet as well. I’m also a huge proponent of earthing ( I swear by it).
