Heres the video of me wrecking last Sunday. I wrecked hard, my rear brakes lost pressure suddenly and i panicked and grabbed the bars to hang on for deal life and my hand hit the extended throttle lever and i accelerated into a tree to miss my buddy Kevin infront of me. It was a steep hill to begin with and everything happened really quickly. I was carried 200 feet down to the lake and removed from the woods by boat since we were one mile back in some rough trails. I cant thank the rangers and paramedics that extracted me and transported me to St Louis. I was driven by ambulance to St Anthony's up in St Louis but would have been flown by helicopter if the winds hadn't prevented them from flying in. I lost a lot of blood immediately since it was a compound fracture where there were 3 broken parts to my ankle. Bones came through the skin and i was in some serious pain. An Orthopedic surgeon put a plate and 3 screws in my ankle, im down for 8 weeks. I was not wearing my MX boots, i will never ride again without them. I have been riding 10 years and dont usually strap my helmet, another thing i will never ride again without doing. My Ankle should be normal after some time and PT. I smashed my knee pretty good and slightly reinjured my left shoulder that i broke back in 2009 in another atv wreck. I wasnt riding outside of my abilities here nor was i impaired by substances, things happened so quick its hard to even explain what actually occured.
