Crash at Highland

It was my second day of the one week camp at Highland Mountain Bike Park in Tilton, New Hampshire. I had been scoping out this drop on a trail called Tombstone for the past day and a half of camp. I decided that hitting the drop would be my first goal and my second goal was riding the A line on the trail N E Style. I don't remember the crash so everything about it is coming second hand from my coach for the week. I went off of the 18 foot drop and was looking good, I was level and in control. I had gone too fast into the drop so when I landed, I was a few feet down the landing. My left hand came off of the bar and my right hand went forward. My thumb got caught on the bar and that caused my thumb to break. Then I fell off to the left side breaking my collar bone and hitting my head. I also got pretty bad road burn on my hip, back and shoulder. I don't really remember anything from breakfast to the ambulance ride, just a few snippets.
