Adolf Silva has just announced that he broke his femur in three places after crashing at Loosefest XL. Following his crash, Silva quickly went to the hospital where he has received treatment has even completed surgery on the injury.
We don't currently know any further details about the crash yet or how long Adolf will be out for but we've reached out for more info on what looks to be a very serious injury.

We're wishing Adolf all the best with his recovery and hope to see him back on the bike soon.
how did he break it?
“Dad help! Drive me to the hospital! I lost a lot of blood... - well you better go find it!
Good to see that at least the other posting got deleted.
@Dropthedebt Uh, you're right, I was just using search Have a good time, too. I'll ride a bike now.
theoretically sure, but extremely rare and in my experience as an orthopedic surgery resident haven't seen one in a simple closed fracture pattern unless it involved some sort of traumatic amputation or penetrating injury
“A comminuted fracture is a break or splinter of the bone into more than two fragments. Since considerable force and energy is required to fragment bone, fractures of this degree occur after high-impact trauma such as in vehicular accidents”
Still he’s a tough mofo and I really really hope he does come back!!
@frenchfriedfun agreed the risk is huge on jumps that size- but I don't think the outcome was expected and it sure sucks. Hope he heals quick and is able to keep his enthusiasm and progression.
so sorry to see a fellow rider in the same position I have graced numerous times on some shitty gurney table. In a week everyone will have already visited and then shit gets depressing. You have a much larger loving audience than most of us dirtbags here on PB so please think about it every day when you get down... all of us rooting for you to heal up and we have NO expectations, just healing vybz.
Respect dude you always crush it.
Thanks for doing what you do!
My clavicle break,is a little scratch in comparison.????
