Hey man. I read an article here on main page of pinkbike, it tells about the guy who broke his back. so i remembered about your photo. how do you feel now? what about sensitivity and muscle power? feeling ready to hit some trails next spring?

Chuvak (Jun 8, 2012 at 18:28)

oh shit. what about sensitivity below the damage zone? the is everything ok?

The nerves in my back are gone, and have numbness in my legs

crap, man, that's sad! what do doctors say?

well when the accident happened the doctors believed and told me that i would never walk again, but slowly and surely i am proving them wrong! They now predict that i will be fully recovered by november, but i will never be able to bend 5 vertebrae in my back again.
