Life in the slow lane.

[m1black]

Hi all, I had a crash on the 2nd of jan which has farked my
left shoulder quite badly,(plate and 12 screws)so having just got home from hospital with a lot of spare time and the thought of possibly never
riding DH again, I knocked together a little vid to mark the occasion.
I'm sore and sad and sorry so I hope it isn't too downbeat.

Well im sorry to hear about your shoulder that must really suck, But on the other hand it looks like you have been doing some pretty sick riding.

I have badly fractured and misaligned my humerus. I'd love to meet the
guy who came up with that name,cos there is nothing funny about it.
cheers for asking.

sucks to hear youve done that you were such a mad rider you used to go sooo fast and have so much style.

Bradoh

Its hard to believe that after seeing you ride all those massive drops and kickers that you injured yourself on what u would consider quite a small jump. Considering how long you have been riding for and the how big you always go and to not have many previous injuries is a testament to how skillful you are on a bike mate.

Dude you are a gifted rider and I have seen how much enjoyment you get out of riding, and the enjoyment others get from watching you ride. It would be a real shame if you give it away cause deep down in your heart you will be wanting to jump on that pushie and pump the local DH track.

Get stuff sorted out first mate, recover , rest etc and then things will fall in place!

The boys cant wait to ride with you again. Its just been a tuff past 2 weeks for you but you have the character & strength to bounce back

Who's gonna be the guinea pig now for all these new stunts we have been building?? :D

If worse comes to worse mate, we can always get you a road bike and some lycra get up...but knowing you, it aint riding a bike unless you are pulling flatties and whips off 10ft drops is it?

Chin up champ, stay positive!!

Thanks Sean and thanks Mark! after another day of doctors etc., it was
really nice to come home and read your comments. almost made this
old blokes eyes tear up! as soon as I'm a bit more mobile I'll be up to do
some filming and catch up with all the crew. thanks again guys,
positive words go a long way..much appreciated!

Thats no good at all! I hope you can get back on the bike and pin it like you do again!

To those who dont know Bradoh (M1Black), if you get a chance check out his other vids if you haven't seen him ride.

champion rider, champion bloke

Hey dude, I hear things are going better. All the best to you and we'll hook up soon to do some filming.

[m1black]

Sounds good! thanks for the support guys.

Yeah, don't give up on the sport just yet if you love it. I'm currently in the middle of my 3rd major injury in 3 years and I'm itching to get back on the bike. I can't accept the thought of giving it away. Plus it's good to prove the doubters wrong.

My old man told me to always take advice from professionals, and
you sound like you know what you're talkin about!

[mykryk]

Like i said on youtube...I don't mean to sound like a fag, but I love watching you ride, braddo!!

took me to hospital, and he said ok but no tongue!...he can't be suss!...
