Didn't know why he didn't have a race time at the BDS Fort William race last weekend, wife mentioned later he'd had a big crash.

Now she's just read and told me that his crash dislocated his hip.

That's got to hurt.

An injury like that could essentially be a career ender. I'm sure Gee will recover and return but he's already started to slide down the rankings a little.

I hope he proves me wrong

Geez, dislocated hip has got to be unbelieveably painful. You have to crash insanely hard to do that.

And yes it can be career ending if there are complications from it (necrosis of cartilidge). It ended the career of the greatest athlete in human history.

Can one still drive a rally car after such an injury? Asking for a friend.

Bo Jackson

Except he tore blood vessels loose in his hip joint and the bone died so he had to have a hip replacement.

I don't get how you guys can sit here on the tronz and say that Bo Jackson's career has ended when here he is doing cycling with LANCE ARMSTRONG and BRETT FAHHHVRE.

29ers strike again!

I think Gee is pretty much done...

 

[Electric_City]

He'll do what everyone else does and go to enduro. He'll win a championship once or twice... When Hill crashes.

Jesus Christ he still looks like a tank. You know he's still not lifting a finger in the gym either.

Cartildge died, not the bone.

 

[mrgto]

Cartildge died, not the bone.

He had osteonecrosis(death to bone tissue), which is a condition that disrupted blood flow to the head of his femur.

fuck man, that sucks. you can see it in his eyes that he's "gutted" and not confident in what the future holds. I hope he comes back. I'd like to see what he can do at full strength again.
