Cheers for the good vibes! The ASG crash was someone else. I heard word that it was a broken neck on that one. SOOOO glad about the Leatt neck brace as that was the difference in my case of injured shoulder as opposed to something so much worse. (will never get on a bike without one now. This one was from Eli Sims ( I know so lame) just going way too fast and bucked by a root at exactly the wrong moment when preloading for an air.
Damn that's gnarly. Glad you're gonna be ok. Suffered a similar break last summer, plus my clavicle and six ribs. Bones heal, spinal cords don't, always wear a brace if I'm wearing my full face.
