After 21 years on the BMX bike I've damaged my body in numerous ways, but none quite like this last week. I managed to break my hip/femur on a plain old icepick. How does that happen? Not real sure but the pain of breaking the biggest bone in your body is not a pleasant one. They put a rod in my femur and a couple pins to help the bone heal. being 35 and breaking your hip could be a devastating injury that might keep me from regaining my confidence but that will not be the case. Injury's are part of the game and they don't just come form burly trick wrecks, it can happen any time anywhere. I'm done for most of year but as long as the trails are still there when i get back my life will be back on track.
Thanks to everybody that came to the Hospital to visit and all my friends who are helping me out at home. See you on the bmx scene soon. Clay
