Jerad Fischer and I went to the Valmont Bike Park to do an interview and showcase his riding as an amputee. We hope to show other amputees or injured people that it's gonna be alright and that you can still get out there. Filmed / Edited by Scott Klumb

Holy shit, this had me in tears. I broke my collar bone and can't get back on the bike for a month and then see someone like you who is actually partially missing a limb and just keep riding is truly inspiring. This is an amazing video and great to show to any rider who's injured

how igsactly did you loose the leg? massive jump? or just really unlucky landing? sorry to ask but i recently got an open compound fracture on my leg and can somewhat relate to your problems you have and still are overcoming. keep up the good spirits man!

DG-Irie (May 21, 2012 at 13:43)

I was wondering the same. I almost just lost my leg around the same area to compartment syndrome. This is pretty inspiring, you're the man!!

Jerad had a horrible crash a few years ago while riding some big jumps in a friend's backyard. After nearly 2 years of rehab and little progress, he had the choice, fuse the ankle and never ride or amputate, get a prostesis and ride again. He made an impossible choice and is shredding more than ever. He digs everyday and is a huge reason for a few of the local spots in Colorado

I wish people would consider that some of us are squeamish, a short warning before you cut to some dude's gangrenous leg wouldn't go amiss...
