So I pulled a @mandown. Crushed my C6 but was walking around for two days before getting an X-ray. It happened towards the end of the day on Sunday in Santa Cruz. Went home and got X-ray Monday. Fast forward and got admitted Tuesday night. It’s insane I can still walk. It was just fast, a little of line, and got slapped like a $2 hooker.

Crappy situation, but I should be able to pull out and be fully functional. Had spinal fusion surgery on Thursday. Don’t take anything for granted boys and girls. And wear a helmet.

Holy fuck man! Glad you are ok!

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

Try it now?

Glad you're not dead.

 

[rideit]

Damn, dude, glad you are still with us. What kind of PT do you do for a broken neck?

 

[Westy]

Jesus. Glad you are OK.

The bigger question is why did you do that?

 

[boostindoubles]

Jeezus dude! Way to not die or get paralyzed!

 

[6thElement]

Do not try it now.

Glad you're still a semi-functional member of society, same as the rest of us.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Crikeys... that seems ill-advised. Heal fast, man.

 

[mandown]

Welcome to the club.

 

[CastleMaster]

Holy crap man, I was just thinking about you today. So glad you're not a vegetable. Let me know if you need a beer delivery.

Almost. Maybe next time?

Glad you didn't die and stuff.

I just fell on my back after attempting to wheelie (even after checking the brake). It only hurts when I breathe.

 

[Changleen]

Phew! Glad you are OK.

 

[mykel]

Meh, no worries, that'll buff out.

Quite pleased you stayed on the correct side of the dirt.

Hope your have a totally uneventful recovery.

 

[jstuhlman]

[maxyedor]

You may want to think about replacing that helmet, looks ever so slightly borked.

Heal up man!

 

[Da Peach]

Yikes! Glad you’re relatively ok!

 

[eric strt6]

Holy fuck. But it could have been much worse

Demo or UCSC?

 

[Toshi]

Whoa. Glad you’re alive and moving all limbs.

 

[CBJ]

Wow, that helmet looks like you were club by Boba Fett. Happy to read a under the circumstances a good ending to the story.

 

[JohnE]

Helmet looks flexy...does it come in root beer?

For those that know the area, we were shuttling jugs. That was my first time riding, but it was like the 10th lap. I can’t even begin to wrap my head around the chain of events. We even drove home to SoCal. I was walking around with a crushed C6 for two days and went into work for a half day. It could have been bad at any time. I truly believe the Smith helped save my life. I think I’ll send them some pics. I have gopro of the crash. I’ll get it posted when I can. Those on Instagram it’s posted there. @randomfabrication

 

[stevew]

ouch...

 

[6thElement]

The important question, did the hospital have to install more shimz in your neck to replace the crushed one?

[junkyard]

Wow, glad your ok.

 

[Full Trucker]

[Pesqueeb]

Fuck, dude........

Glad you're still upright and mobile.

 

[eric strt6]

There are some awesome nasty trails in that area. Rescue in there is a royal bitch. you are so lucky to not be more fucked up.

[StiHacka]

Holy shit, heal up soon Joe!

 

[canadmos]

Heal up man!

 

[slyfink]

Fuuuuuuu. Yup, glad you're 'ok'. I had a similar nearly disastrous crash that wrecked my helmet. Those things are amazing. And so are our bodies. I hope your recovery is quick and full. But definitely take it easy, we ain't getting any younger...
