Darren Berrecloth Broken Back - He'll Be OK

From Darren:
Well hello there to all. So I just returned from a epic trip to Argentina filming for the TV show. the weather was perfect for shooting so I called up sterling to see if he was available and he said hed be over the next day. I built this tree to tree air on these two massive cedars in one of the greenest lichen filled forests I know of. Myself and Sterling shot this stunt all day until we were satisfied. Once again I was impressed with Sterl's shots. So its been five days since that shoot and I've been riding my trails a bunch which are running so good right now. The only bummer thing is that I've been riding by myself since there's nobody around to ride with. Even though I've been having fun sessions with me and my ipod.

Part of Darren's private trail.
Part of Darren's private trail.

With contest season just around the corner I've been stressing about dialling in my tricks so I don't look like a chump. So I've been trying to be smart and not try any hard tricks when there's nobody around and good thing cuz yesterday I asked Megan to watch me ride my contest set in the yard while I tried some front flips. You know sometimes its just really hard to put yourself in the right mind frame to try hard tricks when your riding alone but I at times can push through it so I went for a fronty and I knew I was underotating but I didn't think it was that underotated I also got pushed in the wind which made me come up a little short. I landed pretty much flat on my back and knocked the wind out myself. Its been a few years since I've done that and as I stabilized my breathing I knew that something was wrong.1 hour later I'm in a CT scan getting barrelled.

Doc says I broke my t7 t8 and. T10 vertebrae. Now here I am once again laid up in a hospital.

The outcome of this from my perspective is, just another bump in the road and I'm glad I have no complications. I do miss having a good riding scene with tons of people to shred with and also wish I had a foam pit to practice on instead of trying stuff on dirt.

bigquotesGoing down and injuring yourself is a huge part of the sport, if you're on the edge of riding you go down, and every once in a while, you go down hard - Darren Berrecloth (NWD10)

 He's lucky it wasn't worse. That's a drag for sure - any injury, but I can't help but wonder - how many of these injuries (maybe Darren's back as well) could have been avoided with the proper use of pads - true some bones will break regardless, (and you can't do much for muscle or ligament damage) but a lot of the lesser injuries could be avoided - anyway, I love my 661 body armor when I'm DHing! What little weight or immobility in movement is well worth it when you tag the ground! Heel well my friends!

 Gotta agree with ya on the armor thing , even if it can be slightly restrictive , uncomfortable and sweaty it's no where as uncomfortable as having a limb in cast !

Heal fast Darren!

EDIT : Woops I hit negative prob by mistake !!

 I can see the benefit for sore, dont get me wrong there.
But when im riding i dont like the feel of it, spesh on stuff im comfortable with.

The way i see it, and impact with the ground is a impact with the ground, regardless of protection, landing on rocks and roots is where armor comes in.

Heal fast Darren! Salute

 He didn't land on a rock and crack vertebrae. That's like saying you wont break your leg if you have shin pads on. Pads are simply for abrasion and impact protection, and even at that they are very limited.
Sounds like you guys both need to break more limbs to really understand. Hell, I could argue the OTHER side of it and mention that I've NEVER broken a bone without armor, I had armor on for all of my major injuries.

 Hard shell pads like knee/shin, chest armor, can in fact protect against broken bones by distributing force. Not likely it would have helped here though, thats for sure.

 A few years ago I used to wear slip on knee pads that had a thick padding for the knee. I liked them because the mobility was great and Im not using lift serviced trails, I have to pedal to the top. That was untill I went over the bars and landed on a rock knee first............had to have that knee drained and could barely walk for weeks. So now I wear the 661 Kyle Straits that have a harder plastic shell in them for the knee cap and thicker padding than the ones I used to wear- especially like the padding on the sides. I wear them every time I ride my bike. Still cant get me to put shins on though - despite some deep gashes- I just hate them Smile

 Red bull rampage is not on this year.

Combee - he could have come out of this alot worse. never walking again because he landed just that little bit different would turn his life up side down.

And regarding the knee/shin guards. A shin guard will defiantly stop you from braking your leg. if you are coming down a loose trail, and your feet blow off. you fall off to the right of your bike and slam your knee/shin onto a rock the side of a soccer ball. your shin guards are going to stop you from destroying yourself, i guarantee you.

some people ride just the knees, but when i look at the shin guard part of my shin guards, there is grooves and scratches everywhere. and that's on a hard plastic. i don't even want to know what that would do to my flesh. they might not look as good but i sure as shit prefer that to anything else.

flag angrynipples (May 9, 2011 at 11:00)
 i completely agree. shin/knee pads are the way to go. I dont really wear all the excess stuff like elbow pads and chest protectors because I feel like it hinders your riding capabilities. plus if you get abrasions and shit on your arms it always ends up looking pretty bamf.

flag rippin-norco (May 22, 2011 at 17:59)
 Honestly, my armor has saved my ass numerous times. Hitting trees, rocks, ditching. In my opinion, i would rather have my riding capability "Hindered" then say, hit a tree and get stitches on my arms and back and stuff. And I ride with armor, it makes me feel more confident that if i do crash, it wont hurt.
  • + 3
flag thekettle (May 23, 2011 at 2:40)
 the trick is to not crash!
haha

i do see your point, and i have nothing against people wearing armor, coz at the end of the day, its you that will poetically get hurt, so you do what ever you think is good/necessary.

like i said before i dont like armor, i find that i crash more with it on. Helmet, knee pads and neck brace are still necessities tho

 It's so true what he says on going down is part of the sport and sometimes, you go down big. I've been riding for about 5 years now and every single time I go down, it's been hard for me to get my mental game back in gear. The constant fear of getting badly injured used to drive me away from doing the big stuff. But watching so many pros and non-pro riders go down and get back up is motivation in itself to just go out and send it. Like he said, it's just a bump in the road that I'm sure all of us come across in the sport. I guess it's true when they say that nothing in your lifetime that's worth accomplishing or having will ever come easy. Get better Darren!

 @ everyone goin off about body armor...pretty hard to do a front flip when you look like the Michelin Man from all the padding...there's a reason slope riders like to shred in tees and jeans. Of course it doesn't protect you at all, but that discipline doesn't really work with one all decked out in armor. Far too restricted movement. You just have to understand that it's a more dangerous discipline than many others. Heal up soon Darren, can't wait to see you up and shredding again!

 Darren--so glad you're (relatively) OK. Speedy recovery! Appreciate your style and work ethic since first saw you in Roam.

One question, and not to sound like a noob, but why wouldn't Specialized supply you with a foam pit? Or something? Surely that won't work in all circumstances...but something along those lines sounds seems necessary (not just nice to have).

Also appreciate the lack of riding buddies That's not only good for safety, but it's so much more fun (heh...the Follow Me movie comes to mind). For me it's work, kids, sketchy timing and most of my friends in the same boat. Need a way to find other people in my area willing to ride (with location, timing, ability, and style all kinda factored in there). Sort of a where-the-ladies-at iPhone app kinda thing for mountain biking. Where-my-riderz-at...

In any case, your situation made me think about safety and riding with others. Damn, Claw. Even laid up in a hospital bed you post on Pinkbike and get people excited about riding and designing for people/places/stuff. Godspeed!

 Not really weird actually, however there is no evidence to back up their practices when done alone. I highly recommend going to a good physical therapist as they are trained at a doctorate level in evidence based practice. As you continue to heal and build strength from the atrophy with the lats, multifidi, and traps, you may also want to look into alternative therapies such as Chinese Medicine as a complement to your therapy. Relaxation exercises can be very helpful in the healing process from the neurological standpoint. Good luck and God bless you in your healing!
