Video: Magnus Manson is Back in Action After Beating Cancer in 'Bloom'

Feb 7, 2023
by ForbiddenBike  

BLOOM (/blo͞om/) - Noun -
a: a state or time of beauty, freshness, and vigour
b: a state or time of high development or achievement

The word ‘Bloom’ can describe a lot. It’s typically reserved for plants and flowers that grow and flourish–against all odds–after they’ve endured the harshness of winter. The term can also be applied to individuals. Individuals that grow and thrive when faced with adversity. For Magnus, that adversity was a cancer diagnosis. Magnus was recently given a clean bill of health and declared cancer-free. Throughout his battle with cancer, he showed immense strength, courage, and determination–and not once did he back down.

A positive attitude, unwavering determination, and the mantra “Never F*cking Give Up” empowered Magnus during his treatment. These three affirmations now drive his recovery. After coming face-to-face with one of life’s hardest challenges, Magnus is back stronger and more resilient than ever. Now, Magnus is rooted and poised to bloom into the best version of himself.

Bloom is the latest chapter in the Magnus Manson story. There’s more to tell, and he’s just getting started.


bigquotesWe're 7 months from my transplant and life is good. I am back training full time, the new downhill bike is riding unreal and I am getting more and more excited to be back doing what I love. I wouldn't ask for the cancer I faced again but I am grateful for all the lessons learned and have a lot of appreciation for my life and my community because of it. Bring on the race season and good health. NFGU.—Magnus Manson

 Great news!!! Let's hope that if anyone should ever have to face such challenges they could gain a fraction of support as we give to those that shine for the audience. The compassion, prayers and vibes for healing are beyond remarkable and give them strength, courage and hope to face their adversity head on with tenacity.

 Dumbass here, got through chemo and radiation feeling smug back on the bike, I rounded a turn slammed a downed tree and broke my neck and partially paralyzed my left arm. Had to rescue myself. Four months later I am mostly back, Big shout out to Smith helmets.

 I really admire people rebounding & recovering from illnesses such as this. Their inner strength is something. I don't know if I would be that strong if it was me.
