First aid in remote areas

Setting the scene! You are out mountain biking in the most remote part of the park, mobile phone reception is non-existent and the sunshine period is coming to an end. Suddenly, your friend loses control of his bike and crashes heavily into a tree and ends up on the ground. His shoulder hurts terribly and he has difficulty moving his right knee. It is impossible for him to continue pedalling...

What do you do now?
