I got flipped... From the video and what eye witnesses say it appears it landed on me....

It happened so fast and I hit so hard.... I just laid there... Then I took a breath and thought... Well OK I can breath.... Lots of great people were there real fast to help out....I do remember Grant being there first and turning the buggy up right. PTW was next on the scene.... After that the pain really set in and I am not able to remember everones names. That is why it was so important for me to find the people that helped and thank them. I hope I didnt miss any...

And a extra shout out to Sean for taking care of me in ths big top until help arrived.

And a special thanks to Todd, my NABX room mate who has gone above and beyond in helping me out so much since the accident....

Big thanks to all of them.....

The pain was so intense I was nauseated....

I was sure from the force of the impact I had broken something....

The first responders from NABX and the paramedics also were pretty sure some bone I can't pronounce would for sure be broken....

It is a miracle I am in as great a shape as I am and I am very thankful....

@drew..... just some good raspberries where my pads slid up......

the tough part was staying down there and not being able to ride..... I was so tempted to ride on Saturday..... I left my sling at the hotel and was starting to get a real craving for a Phantom..... old or new.....

I should take a pic of my fat lip.... I think either I finally had an allergic reaction to the dust or a reaction to the sunscreen or just got it fried it has puffed up so much I almost look like Mushmouth from the Fat Albert cartoons...... kinda been talkin like him today also...... my wife just started laughing when she saw me..... she couldn't believe how puffed up my bottom lip is.....

So just peeked out and winds are at 15mph..... I am so tempted to go have a run and blow the dust off of things..... :lol:

I have watched the video several times now..... boy do I look dumb.... I might just have to keep that one in the g00fy vault for fear of loosing all face.....

@flyfish..... thanks.... I am so thankful..... things could be so much worse.....


Good news is I got a Flexboardz ATB coming my way soon..... hope to be healed solid so I can give that a go......
