    You’re an animal, Kyle. I live in STG and am studying Physical Therapy. I rode Kong for the first time that day and remember hearing that you crashed while on the trail. I think of you each time I ride it and I’m stoked that you are back on the bike now. I’ve always loved your riding style and hope to see you out in the desert in October!

    Man, I had posters of you riding in my bedroom walls when you were 16 and you were already a reference for me and to a lot of other kids. I was 14 back then and saw you like "look at this crazy guy and the tricks he's doing!"
    What a legend! Stay strong!

    Hey Kyle, you probably don't remember but I put a DH race on at Bass Lake called the 007 series. I remember you attended the last year we had it, I think you were 16 and remember watching you come through the last set of berms before the finish line like no one else had. I have followed you ever since, prayers for a speedy recovery look forward to seeing you at Rampage next year!

I hope he fully recovers, comes back with a vengeance and has more of the rides he knows he still has in him. They don’t get much tougher than Kyle. Heal fast and Godspeed 👍

  • @DrtyALGreen
    @DrtyALGreen Před rokem +1

    I couldn't even watch the event after I knew Kyle wasn't in it. Idk it just took something away from it since he'd been in every one before. Worst feeling in the world, taking off and realizing as soon as you leave the lip that you're coming up short. You just tell yourself "this is going to hurt" and hold on tight to hopefully muscle out. The world's strongest man couldn't have muscled out of that one, harsh consequences for 2 feet of misjudged distance. So pumped to be watching on Insta and seeing how quickly his recovery has been going. Big Dog for the win in 23?, I hope so.

    Broken back is no fun man...July 31st I broke T12 & L1 (wedge compression fractures), left fibula in 2 places, right ring finger & tore up my knee all in 1 MX crash. I'm 39. Friends loaded up my bike & gear but I drove my rig & son 1 hour home in a stick-shift Jeep...that sucked 😂. I can deal with broken extremities but anything with your back is scary and makes you pause & think a little. I'd say we're lucky because it could have been a lot worse. Heal up proper boss & come back strong 'cause you know we're gonna' keep doing what we love. BALLS OF STEEL!!!
