Hey guys.
I went a bit far in the foampit on a 75ft flip in the beginning of July and hit my head on the bars on impact. I fractured my skull in 3 places with one of them being in my nasalcavity meaning my brain was exposed to outside enviroment and potential infection.

Last weekend i rode again for the first time at a local motocrossrace.
Pretty stressed going rigth back to a show without touching a bike since the accident, but things turned out great and riding went real well I think. As soon as the gate dropped at the last moto of heat 1, we started setting up, and when the checkered flag was in the air we were ready for the show. pretty hectic!

Headinjuries are no Joke and i feel blessed to be able to ride again after such a short period of time.

Dont tell the doctor

First of all, I'm glad you're okay and back doing what you love. And secondly, your riding is killer! All of those tricks are top notch!
