The Canard Compound...

I'll probably do that tomorrow after I get me some good food!

I actually didn't crash. I was ridin with Kenny Bartram on his moto track and there was a jump nobody had done yet so I went at it. The landing was just not made to be a landing and it was super steep. I overjumped it just a little bit and stuck in the clay. The frame made a huge hole in the ground when I came down. I hit so hard! My hands blew off the bars and knees buckled so my butt hit the seat so hard that it broke my pelvis and my t-11 in my back. I rode out of it somehow and kinda rolled up a hill and fell over. I had surgery a couple days later and my first ever real stay in the hospital for a week. That was a month ago yesterday but I'm gettin around good! I've been trying to keep walking to a minimum but when I do walk, it's normal looking at least. haha! I'll be on the bike again in about 5 more months!

These are my X-Rays before surgery.... That bottom part is supposed to be together.



This is afterwards.. They put it back together kinda sideways... Now when I sit down my tailbone feels off to one side. haha

Yep, that was me. I also got to ride for one of the Euro test guys after the two days I got on the bike. I had to wear all his gear that was way too small. 4 sizes too small in the pants, 3 sizes in the boots, 2 sizes in the helmet, 2 on the gloves, no knee brace sleeves, short socks and a jersey that looked more like a belly shirt. lol.. The video makes it look okay though.

The bike is actually really really good. You can read the full test I wrote up in the digital Amateur MX right here. And the article I wrote is complete truth. The bike is good.

And here is the link to the video on Euro day....

Budds Creek is so sick! Aside from all the rocks, it's probably my favorite track I've ever ridden. Washougal was an awesome one too and I can't forget a good prepped Cooperland. But Budds Creek is awesome!
