I'm really not sure, I was looking up stuff about it and it said that if it ruptures, it can be removed without any life threatening results. But I didn't look too much into that stuff so who knows if that's true

im sure hell be fine, I know a couple other people that were in that situation with their liver, they healed up all good

It can be removed if it ruptures for sure, in fact I believe you can bleed to death if it ruptures and isn't removed

That sucks. I lacerated my kidney and internal injuries are nothing to fuck with. Make sure he stays off his bike till he is completely cleared otherwise he will just cause more problems down the line.

Oh, almost forgot.
Tell him I said get well soon!

I remember watching sports science or something and an American football player ruptured his spleen during a game but it bled slow enough that he played the rest of the game and didn't realize it. Ended up getting it removed after the game

I kinda wouldn't mind just getting mine taken out and not risk rupturing it.......always had a fear of rupturing a spleen .....silly useless organs

he knows to rest up before even thinking about getting back on the bike haha.

I'll pass your kind words onto him whenever I get a chance, thanks everyone else too!

Damn that's harsh shit. Good luck to your friend tho.

NOW, that gap to smith must fucking die

If I were him, I'd be terrified of trying that again once he's good to go.

I think if he had more bike control he would have landed it though, in the least rude way, he kinda just hucks himself at ledges/handrails and 5/10 times he slays them, 4/10 he eats shit really bad but gets up smiling cause he somehow didn't get hurt, but the 1/10, he'll get hurt pretty bad like in this case

fuck lol. I know some peoples who huck themselves at shit like that too. I get it's how some people ride, its their style(fuck I still do it at times), but bike control is nice to have!

do the gap to smith in his name sunday! rape it over and over, repeatedly landing it clean. show that bitch whos boss lol

That sucks man I hope he gets better. I thought my appendix burst this morning but it turned out to be my diet.

Same with him, he just goes for shit. like normally in our group of friends we'll take some runs, figure out how fast we need to go/how to come at whatever we're gonna try, then be like "yo wanna film this?" him on the other hand takes one look at it, then just does it without telling anyone. it's awesome haha

And I would but a gap to double peg down it scares me so bad for some reason. maybe next time I'm up I'll try & double peg it. If I can double peg it I'll get that "feeling" whether or not I know for sure if I can smith it or not. hopefully I don't meet the same fate!

Sending good vibes his way, he should be ok.

As for hucking shit, its not really the safest way to ride, its kinda reckless really just cause when you have that fuck it & huck it attitude going into a trick, its like your over committed in a way, which is bad because most of the time that attitude says its 50/50, I'll either send it, or get smashed and it doesn't really leave any room for the other option which is to bail, so that's usually when riders get hurt the most, because they have fully committed to something they should have bailed on.

But sometimes, thats the only way to get things done, either way it's still cool as fuck.

Hope he gets well soon bro.

thanks a lot, he'll appreciate that!

and yeah for sure, I'm not a hucker myself but I have respect for riders who do that & kill it. Very rarely will I tell myself "fuck it, I'll just try it even though I know I'll eat shit" but also very rarely I'll actually eat shit, luckily.

While we're on the subject of eating shit...
