The skill and bravery of the riders like you is hard to fathom. Your particular ride left me in awe with its beauty, power, and sheer commitment. Watching you compete reminded me of the time I sat in the audience of a Russian ballet with tears in my eyes from the sheer wonderment of what the best of the best can achieve. Your gave me that same feeling. No doubt you are an extraordinary person. I wanted to send to you a message of support to let you know how you affect others in a positive way. I hope your recovery is going well and that all has settled down so that you can meet and enjoy the challenge each day brings. Clearly you have what it takes to succeed in anything. Thanks a lot for everything. Much support from an old guy you inspired. Robert

You’ve made a massive impact on our sport and the entire community is sending their positive vibes your way! Get well soon!

Man I couldn’t believe it when I heard about your bail!
The road to recovery is a tough one both mentally and physically but you need to believe in yourself, you will get there. Just after a nuts injury man it just takes your body time and keep on top of your physio! It sounds like you’re at a top notch place and you have the love and support of your wife, family, friends and so many people like myself who believe in you.
I kinda know how you feel, about 3 months ago I was in a freak accident where my crank arm just snapped as I was taking off a huge jump, next thing you know I’m on the desk with a dislocated hip, completely snapped femur and bust ribs! Although not quite heavy as your injury I know how it can really be mentally draining, how it feels hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, how much it sucks to need help for basic tasks, to be stuck in doors bored out of your mind thinking will I ever have my life back?!
You need to focus away from these negative thoughts, learn that accepting help from others isn’t a bad thing. Everyone around you wants to help you!

Take care dude, stay strong inside, remember what you have got not what you haven’t got! And when you do finally get back on your bike come over to the UK for a ride bro :)

Sending you healing vibes!

Adam

You walked on and rocked the crowd with the win over some big names. Then you returned the next year to throw down another winning run, erasing all doubt you are a force to be reckoned with. I to have wound up on the wrong side of the hospital bed rails and believe in you and want you to have a fast and healthy recovery. So as another writer stated, I will keep you in my thoughts but I will also donate! Get well soon!
