I'm just here for the next grim doughnut video game...

At least the dead tree that broke my back closing day 2018 is still sitting to the side of the jump it fell in the landing zone of. Rider left side at 3:49. That is neat.

Hey. Go fuck yourself.

Been using a prototype version for the last few months. Really makes snipe hunting much easier

Read well you can't.

Can Specialized sue over having a BMX background??

@reindeln: plus his coffee partner has a BMX background.

@hmstuna: Yeah I agree with the use of protective equipment and being prepared for the right circumstances. Unfortunately my incident was more wrong place and wrong time and nothing else I could have done. As I said above. Dead tree feel in blind spot of jump landing in between laps on that trail. 35 minutes before, No tree.. Anyway, it was a small 12ish ft table/bridge you could gap, a high speed low air affair if you will.  I landed just before the tree and slammed it directly chest high. It snapped my steer tube and fork off my bike and I impacted the tree, fracturing my t5 and t6 vertebrea and damaging my spine bad enough to instantly paralyze me. I didn't even crack a rib. So fawked. But nothing I could do. Wasn't a skill or lack of issue, wasn't a pushing the limits that day issue... Just wrong f'n place at worst f'n time...  Life is a chance. We never know, and thats why I still shred the shit out of my 3 wheel trike Check the link below if you never seen it. Rad viedo for Race Face a couple years ago that talks about my story as well as a couple other badasses you might have never heard of either. We still out there and playing in the woods, just like you. Cheers to any and all still following along.  https://youtu.be/ZIIFhP8sI-c

@CarlMega: good on you as well man and glad to hear about more people with successful recoveries. Anyone who has dealt with spinal stuff no matter the overall outcome knows the deal and how much of a crap shoot everything is. Hope you don't have to do the fusion shit down the road and can keep riding as well!! Much love.

@twozerosix: Thanks dude. And awesome to hear about full recovery peeps as well!! Every one of those stories gives the rest of us hope! Keep shredding as well!!
