injury!

 So a few weeks ago, me and chris were gonna go out and film this rail line. i have hit the rail before, it's nothing big, it's about 7 stairs and really steep. i double pegged it a few times no problem. but the 3rd or 4th time, i lost my balence, and it was too short to hop off my bike and run out, so i just put my foot down and when it hit the ground it twisted my knee and fucked everything in it. 

 i tore my ACL all of the way through.
tore both of my meniscus.
partially tore my PCL.
and i bruised both my tibula and fibula.

 i'm having surgery for my ACL in about a week. they are taking a chunk of my "patella tendon", what holds your kneecap, to replace the fucked up ACL. I also gotta get the torn part of my meniscus shaved off.  I get holes drilled in my knee too haha. YES! I won't be able to ride until like october/november if everything goes well. I also have to do phsysical therapy until the surgery, and also after surgey.

get psyched.

love, aaron
