Video: Mark Matthews Is Rebuilt

 I would say he proved the doctors wrong! Great vid!

 his med bill is pretty rough for him

 So many femur breaks last year. I broke mine @ Canyons, Logan broke his at Rampage, Mark broke his at Rampage holy smokes...

 Nice 1, Great to see passion over come mental blocks. yourself hold you back so much after a bad crash.

 Ohh man the mental Demons suck!!! Besides having to get a blood thinner shot in the stomach twice a day, its one of the hardest thing to overcome.

 I had to wait until my boss left lab so I can watch this, and it was worth the wait

 Compounded my femur a year and a half ago just had my 5th surgery 2 weeks ago, was almost back to normal 2 months ago, but some how got mersa , infection was pretty bad had to pull the rod outta my femur and doc had to use a reamer to get the infection off my bone.back to square one for the 5th time. Even though im in pain just being 2 weeks outta surgery with the rod outta my leg it feels alot better just hope it grows back and dont need metal put back in because doc gave me a 50/50 shot of still needing metal.

 Keep rolling on brotha...sounds like a challenging journey, to say the least. You'll make it through.

 Thanks man its been a long road but hopfully its almost to the end

 Marks always been one of my favourite riders to watch. Glad your back!

 Good luck my friend I hope you're better. Remember not the sport its consequences our life's. If you drink beer you can have hard attack and this is most serious keep riding and take care

 Im getting better finally, iv had 2 more surgerys on my femur since that post, had a plate and 14 screws put in oct31st. Finally got cleared to start bending my knee after having a external fixator on my leg for 9 weeks and my whole leg was locked out. Its getting better just taking time.... Ill ride again when i can, have 2 new bikes waiting to get use..

 As long as he's off that fugly Morpheus..

 At least a proper bike for Rampage this year. Morpheus should stick to that kid's backyard.

 Morpheus? He rode a Demo when he had the bad practice crash. www.pinkbike.com/photo/10201847

 Yeah my bad That was Chu mbey on the morpheus

 Broken in 5 places, non union fracture, almost needed a 2nd surgery. Didn't walk for 3 months. Yep I got a ti rod as well!

 Shoulda got adamantium brah

 Dang Mark that's rough... lol! Some folks may have Ti coils but we have Ti Rods (Pun not intended)!! Does your leg sometimes feel like there is some sort of magnetic sensation in it? I know that sounds weird its almost like when your leg vibrates as if your phone was going off in your pocket. Maybe im just crazy..well glad your back to the plate man.

 same for me dude

 what u think of it

 i love it

 what others have you tried and how do you run the rebound and compression

 well thats the first single crown fork i use for freeride / light dh purpose, but i tried boxxer and dorado on my previous DH bike, i use this fork on a kona entourage and i run it with 90 psi 5 clicks of highspeed compression, 3 clicks of low speed compression and 4 clicks of rebound. i weight like 85kg

 do you run it at 180

 yeah

 do you not think its flexy with 34mm stantions

 Yeah, his calf muscle was probably gone before Thanksgiving last year. I fractured my ankle at the start of July this year, and it didn't take long for my calf to look pathetic compared to my good leg

 Fire and "farewell dear ghost"-don't know anything about them just googled a line of the tune and confirmed on You tube. Great song......again pinkbike vids delivering on more music discoveries for me!
Nice see Mark back. Seem to recall his injury was detailed on that article detailing insurance and competing.So better than nice.Hard hard work-enjoy your time back on the bike.......keep the great vids up.

 Thanks very much! yeah, IMO perfect song choice. And this vid really has some soul in it
