yeah yeah I'm all right...

for the most part anyway...

My head hurts, my neck hurts, my left side of my body is full of road rash but otherwise I'm ok.. I came away with a concussion and 2 staples in my head but no permanent damage. It was touch and go there for a while as Michelle said I was having trouble remembering things that happened this weekend. I knew the important stuff (name, address things like that) but it seemed that for a while I had no recollection of memories from Thursday on. She said that talking about Critical Blast, the race on Saturday and the Black Cat runs with the crew helped me snap back and it was pretty uncanny how quickly I recovered all those memories once I started to talk about them with her @ the hospital.

Honestly, the last thing I remember was coming around the corner getting speed for my skid and then I was at the hospital talking to Michelle after the CAT Scan. I don't remember the fall or any of the events afterwards... I remember I was feeling uncomfortable about skidding on that road surface during the practice runs I did. The road was a bit rough and bumpy, thus making my back tire bounce around a little when I was skidding... I thought I could compensate for it but I'm sure that had a lot to do me eating shit; i.e. lack of confidence in what I was doing at the time... Based on the location of my road rash and the cut on my head, I'm assuming my back wheel drifted to the left during the skid and the bike threw me off because forward momentum was compromised at this point... Metha said I tried to get my left hand up before I fell but it got caught up in the bars and this is how I smacked my head. If anyone saw it hit me up because I'm still trying to fit the pieces together at this point..

I wanted to thank those of you that helped me right after the wreck.. I honestly do not remember any of the aftermath so if I forgot to thank any of you, I truly apologize. I heard Hugh and Nick had my back the entire time and that a lot of people there were very worried about my condition. I wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped and that I'm alive and kicking...

BTW, from now on I plan on rocking a helmet whenever I ride. You can call me Special Ed if you want but I makes me living with my brain so I need to keep that ish intact..



ez!
