Yoann Barelli has announced he will be out for six to nine months with an injury picked up last Sunday in Squamish.
Barelli was climbing when he lost balance and fell on to his left foot. The result is a complete ACL tear, a severely injured meniscus, a small fracture on the tibia plateau and a first degree MCL tear. Yoann will now require surgery and will be recovering for the rest of the season to be 100% for next year. The full story of the crash and the diagnosis is in the video above.
We're sending healing vibes out to Yoann and hope to see him shredding again soon.
Stay positive and heal up fast!
Hopefully he's back soon--love his content.
What i will watch for next 9 months?
“In to the gnar” is the new Netflix!!!
Have a speedy recovery Yoann!!!
A gym rat!!
Proprs to Yoann, love his videos, super funny dude.
Maybe he can continue doing the videos while healing, a little light hiking while coaching some of us fools through the gnar
I volunteer!
Heal up quick, @yoannbarelli! And are you going to set up a patreon or something for your youtube channel? Love to kick you a little cash for dog treats!
Heal fast
Good luck
Not sure how we will all cope without your “gnar” videos until next season, particularly when one has had the privilege of riding some of the trails you have filmed and described, in my case with Freeride Madeira.
I know your pain, I tore my ACL snowboarding this winter, still awaiting surgery. In the meantime it has healed enough for me to function pretty normally. I'm back on my bike and riding almost at 100%. Of course surgery is invasive and there will be a healing process after going through that. But you're young, strong, healthy and most of all have an excellent attitude! Staying positive its most important, take time to enjoy some other activities, time with the family, etc etc. Into the Ganr is the best thing to hit YouTube ever! Can't wait to watch your comeback ride!!!
A friend (crossfit coach and competidor) had a very, very similar injury 3 or so months ago, jumping off from a rope climb. He's making a speedy recovery after surgery.
By the way, who else agrees it would be great to see him at the Joe Rogan Experience? Yoann Barelli and Martins Licis are the athletes I would like the most to see on the podcast
This’ll all be in the rear view mirror soon, just get to that place. You got this!
Keep posting your rehab progress- your positive attitude will help all us fellow ACL rehabbers keep focused and semi-sane while off our bikes!
How about you only feature Jackson on the show while you heal?
Speedy recovery,mate!!!
Heal up soon, you're the best Yoann!
