I tend to agree with PhysioAdvisors comments. Is this the first time that you shoulder has 'dislocated'? What makes you think it was in fact a dislocation. It is unusual that if this was a first episode that after a few minutes it would relocate by itself. Often there are bony injuries with such dislocations and also the cartilage around the joint is often torn making a repeat event likely. As a MTBer myself you may want to source a neoprene brace to wear under your gear to give it support until you build confidence in the joint again. Do let us know the results if you have any investigations.
