Great to see him back in top form. I didn't realize his injury was that extensive. He looks very smooth on the bike. About a 1/3 of the way in the video where he manuals out of the corner over that hump....speechless.

Nice wheelie over the kicker bump coming out of the right hand corner before the big jump. Sort of Brett Metcalf-ish.

Makes sense, but, his very little upper body movement reminds me of his dads neutral smooth style.

Was it 94 I think when Stingray was right there with Mcgrath. Think he won San Diego that year.

holy shit...good kid. Looks like his story is going to end well. Inspirational to say the least. Good things will come his way with that attitude, racing or otherwise.

Christian was fast on 85s, really fast. Always throwing the bike sideways and scrubbing everything flat, so fun to watch. Some cool clips of him in this video. (Skip to 1:13 for cristian)

I was a big fan of his dad and that has continued onto Christian. Definitely proud to see this kid come back from something so terrible. Looking forward to seeing many podiums in his future.

L2 and 3 were completley seperated and side by side... T5 i think it was was smashed, they put rods, screws(too many to count) and a cage in..which kept him from bending or twisting for 10 months... they removed most all of the hardwear ,but left in rods around the break just for extra support..
