Video: Getting Back on the Bike After a Spinal Cord Injury
This past weekend was my first time up to Burke, VT since my spinal cord injury almost 2 years ago. It has been a long journey towards recovery, but every bit of energy spent towards getting better made this ride possible. I am proud of this moment and beyond lucky to have a support network that enables me to do what I love most - ride bikes.
THE RIG! Santa Cruz V-10. Fox Factory front/rear. I9 Grade 300. Maxxis DHF/DHR. Renthal cockpit. Shimano Zee brakes, Shimano XTR drivetrain. Paradox Kinetics electric motor. Tessier sit ski bucket seat.
Trying to explain to Ella that E-Bikes are actually cool...
This weekends ride was possible because of this crew! It doesn't get any better than just being on the mountain with good people...man have I missed it!
Mounted up and clipped in, making our way to Lower J-Bar. You ready for this Doug?! Let's GO!
It's hard to describe what time moment feels like. Nothing else in the world matters.

Look up his crash at Budds Creek / Henry Hill where he breaks his back and comes back a year later to win that race and the outdoor title. Guy is an animal.
