Hell yeah, Gimps rule. Race mine bmx all the time and it can handle everything I can dish out no problem at the dirt jumps. Not a very good urban bike though because of the single speed gearing but there is an adaptor you can get to run a derailler if you want to. Cheap too!
I grew up in Idaho Falls. I hated the backward, religious thinking in the entire town. It sucked even worse if you weren't part of the religeous majority (Mormon). It was like living in the town from the movie Footloose. Of course I'm sure it's a great town if you fit in with the other 98%...
I use a 38 up front and have a flip-flop hub with a 17 and 16 tooth cog on back. 16 for racing, 17 for dj'ing. Pretty much the perfect gearing for me for both applications. Also run 26" tires on my Gimp.
Holy CRAP! Good luck with your healing. You don't even remember the crash?! Crazy.
I've been doing a bit of bmx racing myself lately and it's been interesting with the amount of bumping and blocking that goes on. BMX racing is fun but dangerous. Take care and enjoy those hamburger shakes. ;)

Oh man, I could go on all day.
That had a classic on last night. The town is stuck in a snow storm and the school is snowed in. All the kids are tired of Principal Skinner's orders so they tie him up and put him in a dodge ball bag in the gym.
In the end, Nibbles The Hamster comes to the rescue and saves the school...
