Later I did some just for fun Canyon racing around LA, but I never had the edge anymore and I knew it. Those naked rock walls around the TT are scary as Fuck.

Those boys have brass balls and very little imagination. Major respect. Bless 'em.

Traction sucks, upon delivery to the hospital I was given a phone and was to call anyone that would be able to sort my finances, pelvis was bleeding out."Hey MOM, I fucked up"....I dropped the weights 3 weeks in and went to shit in the toilet like a man! Nurse freaked the fuck out, surgeon was called into remove the piece of all thread out of my shin,...was sent home AMA! My now wife was there to shuffle me the hell back to my bed and my best friend, little Bear (femur, pelvis, and all kinds of broke)


These guys are nothing but the best athletes on this planet.....not for money, or the glory,...its a personal thing that is indescribable I am certain ....

May the road be kynd to these fucking mere mortals!
