Took our little fella to watch him a couple of months ago.

Proper idol of mine.

I remember this at the time 8)

Positive thoughts to him and his family.

Thats awful news 🙁 My fingers are crossed for a full recovery & back to his best

I had a fairly big accident a few months back which shocked me somewhat, and hearing about accidents like this and the one suffered by Michael Bonney does make me think twice about mtbing sometimes. Sadly though I guess thats just what they are - accidents - and the consequences can be severe.

Hopefully the loss of feeling will be due to the initial swelling and in time his movement will return. I really do hope so. He's a genuinely nice approachable fellow and my heart and best wishes go out to him.

Healing vibes sent.

I showed the missus a couple of his vids a while back and she (not into bikes) said it was like watching bike p0rn :). Nail on head.

Sad news.

But they're not accidents, they're probablilities when you do that sort of riding. One day it can happen.
