It was clear that he had come a long way since his accident.

typical day of work we had just the bike park had just opened it's like yeah mid-june working on the trails all day and then after work we headed to pass friends wanted to do fuzzy bunny which i had never done before or following friends i was like yeah should be no problem and yeah i guess the first lesson should have maybe asked about like features and stuff but you know as you get better with stuff you just get maybe a little complacent you're not always thinking about the consequences and so yeah like I was probably definitely getting confident in my riding and I was like yeah no I could follow the homies down this trail like I've done all the other trails on the past should be no problem I mean there's like a couple of gap jumps you know and then yeah we came up on that first gap jump or maybe the second one I can't remember and I like didn't didn't like my speed or whatever and I just like wanted to bail and what I thought wasn't like absolute nothing you know like I was like it's gonna hurt like this is gonna suck but I was like I was so ready for it like I saw it coming up and I wanted to bail the bike And I mean, this part we're still fuzzy on because I never lost consciousness, but like I also obviously don't remember exactly how I crashed.

And my friend was far enough behind.

He didn't see exactly.

But the theory is, yeah, just like over the handlebars and just like gnarly scorpion.

And like, that's what broke my back.

Because like the first sensation I got when I when I when I got hurt was it felt like my legs were on top of my head.

Just that people should be aware of their own personal boundaries and the potential consequences.
