12.1.08

Mike continues to work on strengthening the right side of his body and has been enjoying spending some time with family and friends. While out with friends just before Thanksgiving Mike couldn't resist and rode one of their bikes in a circle around a parking lot. He said that it felt really good to get back on a bike, but that his right side felt stiff and his shoes stuck to the pedals a bit when he was getting off and nearly made him fall. We asked him if he thought he'd be doing that again anytime soon and he said probably not for a little while.

Mike has made huge progress in a short amount of time, but he still has a lot to go before he'll be back to his old self. In the mean time, Mike has been working on Vigilantia and hopes to have hats ready for sale by the end of the week.

" Mike was rushed to the hospital early Sunday afternoon after over-rotating a 360 and taking a severe blow to the head. Emergency staff immediately sedated Mike who was reportedly disoriented and convulsing, he has not regained consciousness since."

I just read the blog on what happened to him. And I didn't even know about this guy before I watched this video, being that I'm a mtber, but From the WHOLE biking community, Get well Soon Bro.
Hopefully we'll see some more vids on here, and you can open more mtbers eyes on how f*ckin awesome BMX is, either way, we all ride.
This vid, and his story are truly inspiring, this is definately going in my Fav's, it inspired me a bit. . . But when you get back on that bike, grab a helmet!

Get well soon Mikey. We all miss you and your riding skills in the BMX community. You have inspired me so much to just go out in the world and just do what I want to. Thank you. You will always be apart of my life.
