From his Spec blog:

Sam Hill:

The last couple of weeks have been a bit of a bummer for me. I was really looking forward to the second world cup in Ft William but had a pretty wild crash in practice and hurt my shoulder too bad to be able to ride. I was hoping I could hang tough and salvage some points but there was no way I was going to be able to make it down safe so I was forced to watch the race. Its weird being a racer and not being in the race, It was exciting to see it all unfold but I just wanted to be out there so bad and race that track. After missing out on racing I decided to fly home and get my shoulder checked out. I found out that I have 3 snapped ligaments in my shoulder so thats why it was so painful. I have been home the last 2 weeks resting it and just playing the waiting game for it to get better. Unfortunatly there is nothing I can do to speed up the recovery so im hoping it gets better very soon because I want to be back out there racing and on top of the podium.
