My Crash

[nick753]

On October 2nd 2005 I was riding at Baja MX in Michigan. I was going up the face of a 65-70 ft tabletop and my rear sprocket on my bike fell of right on the face of the jump. I nosed-dived through the air and crashed into the ground, breaking my left pelvis, right pelvis, Right arm, left collar bone, and right femur. Rider down found out about my crash and sent me a get-well package With a shirt a cool video game, stickers, and some cool wrist-bands. I think the Rider-Down is a great organazation and i would like to thank them!

Thanks Rider Down!

Hey Nick,

We're really glad to hear you're doing so well with the recovery. As Joe said, we didn't realize the extent of your injuries! Sounds like quite a crash! Glad to hear the arm cast is coming off on Tuedsay. Good luck with the rehabbing!!

Hope you haven't fallen too far behind with the schoolwork, I hope you get back there soon. Stay in touch with us all here! Happy Turkey Day!!

Nick,

You'll sure have a story to tell later on in life when your old dirt bike injuries act up. I'm so glad to hear you are doing well and hope you don't have too much catching up to do when you get back to school. I know how hard that can be on kids who have had to be absent for an extended period of time. (I'm a teacher.)

Your story sure makes me think twice about having my twins ride when they get old enough, but then I look at the passion my husband has for the sport and how much my 14 year old daughter enjoys it and realize I could never deny the youngest members of our clan the same pleasure.

Have a great Thanksgiving and remember we're thinking of you.

Get healed up soon.... You have a 125 now that I bet is begging to be ridden :mrgreen: !!!

[nick753]

I'm doing really good now. I'd say 95-97% back to normal. Everything is normal again. I got a new 125sx for christmas, I've ridden it at least a few times now and I love it! That's about it...

PS- Thanks for the new package I got in the mail, Rider Down!
