yup an SV... locking the front in an emergency situation isn't too uncommon, thats why i'm fairly hard on the rear brake since you can slide it around with out much drama and dial in more front brake if i need it... definetly get a good doctor to check you out

are you sure your collarbone isnt broken. that s what mine looked like it was like a few inches lower than the other one. and it hurt like hell. youll have to wear somethin called a figure 8 brace and it makes you look like a linebacker lol. id get it checked again especially if you have health insurance anyway
