I'm Yelling Fuck the World on My Victory Lap!

About Me

I am 26 years old. 4 years ago, just before my 22nd birthday, I got injured while riding at Dumont Dunes on a road trip for MX machine magazine. My friends kept me alive doing mouth-to-mouth and CPR for two hours until the paramedics arrived. I was airlifted by an army Black Hawk helicopter to Loma Linda University Hospital where I was in a coma for 3 1/2 weeks. When I finally woke up out of my coma I learned that I broke my neck at the C2 level and was now on a ventilator among other injuries. I have since been stabilized and am now getting on with my life. I learned that just because you're injured doesn't mean you can't still live your life and do things just like everybody else! I have the best group of friends in the world and they have stuck by my side since day one! I love them all!
