Dude, as a rider who has had a few birthday, two words: Body Armor. They make hip pads, knee pads, shin guards and a jacket/shirt that has a whole bunch of armor built into it. From first hand experience, this armor has saved me from some major pain.

I'm just glad you're okay. I can definitely relate, I'm 53 and still riding. I don't even have to crash to feel the hurt the next day. Hoping for a quick recovery.

We feel your pain, Bobo. Seriously. The thing this 50+ yr old rider learned VERY recently, when jumping my e-bike off an MTB Hopper Coach ramp on its lowest set-up without knee/shin pads because, hey, I've been ramping since I was 10, is that the 6-inch long gash on my shin that kept me off my bike for a week and ruined my leg-modeling career could have EASILY been prevented by the pads I left in the garage. F*** me for thinking I had it. P.S., That hip bruise of yours looks DEEP, man.

Rest up man. Hope the videos keep coming. But damn. It's hard to juggle the injuries and little ones. I feel ya. Shred safely out there.

Love you brother. One of my most "almost died" moments was simply getting a fast turn really wrong. Be safe all.

I literally gave up biking of all sorts when I found out about my deployment. Now I'm here, riding an Ozark Trail 29'er.... (Stateside deployment) and can't wait to get home to my Capra. I've reeled in my risk taking since my bad wreck on Greens Lick. Kinda a wakeup call because like you were saying, I have to be able to provide for my family. National Guard doesn't have light duty if I get injured.

This channel shouldn't have 100k subscribers... It should have 1 mil! Love your content Bobo! Keep up the good work and STAY SAFE! Respect!

I just turned 63 earlier this week, and after 5 years without any big crashes, I've managed to crash big time twice this season already. The most recent was just earlier today. I have been very lucky to have had several years of martial arts training, because knowing how to fall to the point that is is muscle memory has saved me from serious injuries many times. I hope you heal up quickly and well.

Had my big OTB when I was 50 broke arm 7 places still mtbing 67 now ,love your channel, take care mate 🇦🇺

That was rough man. Glad you weren't too seriously hurt. I turn 51 in a few months and I'm still jumping and trying bigger features that I've not hit before...but more and more, I ask myself "to what end"?

Hey man we watch your videos for YOU! Don't kill yourself, we know you're not a pro rider. Neither am I. Keep up the humor, no other MTB KZfaq channel comes close to making me laugh like you do. Feel better bro, anyone that rides has been there.

This one hit close to home. Had my worst crash ever, six weeks ago. Going on 52 trips around the sun. Ride on 🤘

40 here, second baby on the way (3 months also), non-monetized YT channel (RideActive)… and I got a neck brace for racing… yeah, stay safe! Keep up inspiring and entertaining us!

I hope you heal up fast! Congratulations on becoming a dad! Gotta stay safe for family (and future videos). You are one of my favorite channels to watch!

I get it dude. 43 here, and My wife has MS and I take care of her full time, like everything, helping her eat, shower, poop. If I get racked out on the trail, we’ll both be up a creek, so I’ve had to chill on going big, and learned to just enjoy the simple, yet endless, single track We have up here in Oregon..

Late 40s now, started proper MTB quite a few years ago. Every time I had a crash I bought the protection for the place I hurt. I now ride with: knee pads, elbow pads, gloves with plastic knuckles, and body armor. I still crash and bruise, but it is so much better! Get well soon and keep those videos coming!

I know what you’re going through. Don’t quit. I have a 29 year old son and all through his life I’ve been doing extreme sports. Road racing(Daytona) Motocross, skiing and now mountain biking. I’m 62 and crash all the time . I just get back up and keep going. 3 years and I had a similar crash off a drop as steep as the one you crashed. I was 59 at the time. Drove home by myself rested overnight in the morning got on my spin bike to loosen up my body . Went riding the next day. Oh what your body looked like mine was just as bad and remember I was 20 years older than you. I would like to send you a video of my crash . It has made its way around the internet. Where can I send it to. Keep the awesome videos coming. 👍💪

My first thought is Bobo going to take up golf and make videos with Paul? In 1985 I was 31 and decided I wanted to race motocross in Alaska! Bought a Honda CR500. A few months in I was at a bike park in Anchorage and crashed on a big gap jump and broke my right humerus. My pregnant wife wasn't very impressed. Six weeks later to the day I hopped on my bike and broke my arm again. Sandy was eating dinner when I walked in the door and said she wasn't taking me to the emergency room until after she finished dinner. Next day she bought me velcro sneakers and pants! I am 68 now and still hitting jumps! Love your videos. Take care of yourself and your family Bobo!

Had a very similar crash and similar injuries but i broke my wrist. And it was the same thing I didn't pre-ride, re-ride, free ride. Definitely a learning experience. Heal up homie.

Heal up, totally get it. We don't bounce. I just lost about a month of riding cause I went down on tech, the rocks pushed up my elbow pad and it got me road-rash and 4 stitches. Finally getting back to riding and going to try to get some park in before the summer ends. Thanks for the inspiration, your videos are a ton better than mine, they make me laugh and encourage me to have more fun when I ride!

I feel your pain. I make videos about mtb progression in my 50s but don't think I could handle another serious injury. I like you think of quitting, but something always draws me back to that next crazy jump!

At 55 I've cut back to only a few races/events per season instead of 40+/season spread over MTB(XC), BMX, CX, Road, and Track. At some point you just have nothing left to prove to yourself although currently I'm working on jumping just enough to clear fairly tame jumps instead of casing - mostly because casing seems way more dangerous. Stay healthy so you can take that kid out to get some trail-a-bike action in a few years! We did a lot of single track with those

Glad you're on your path to healing BOBO! And congratulations about your new baby on the way! I know what you mean by thinking that once you've done a feature you can do it again. I crashed about 3 weeks ago doing a big drop too. For some DUMB reason, my feet were level as I took off, but then my left foot went down just before I landed and with the compression of the bike, both my feet came off the pedals. Then I lost control and hit a tree. The back of my saddle smashed into my pelvic area and caused a bunch of bruising and a hematoma that's taking forever to go away. It looked very much like all your bruises, just in the front! Take care!

Dude. You've found a great niche. You ride well (mostly 😂), and have a gift with your creativity. It's real easy to think about quitting at times especially after an accidental like this. I had an OTB several years ago with an impact similar to the one you took with Paul and the recovery sucked. Risk management plus your creativity equals you being able to do this as long as you want!

Just wait, before you know it you will be out there riding with your kids and watching your kids progress on a bike is the best feeling ever. Hang in there.

Thanks for sharing your adventure. Some just don't understand when you love what you do, nothing can stop you. After my last tbi crash while vlogging the doctors asked are you happy to be alive? I said sure, yet I will be even more happy when I am riding/filming again.

I fell off my bike and broke my shoulder when my daughter was around 6 weeks old. For about 8 weeks I couldnt really pick her up and put her down like I should have been able to, it was also a nightmare for my missus who had to do everything with barely any help from me. She was understanding about it all at the time but damn do I wish that never happened. Having a baby definitely makes you rethink things but a child would prefer to have a Dad who is active and full of life than one sitting in a bar boozing and getting fat. Love your content. keep it up.

About 13 years ago, I broke my shoulder on a single track downhill. I have 4 kids, and hung up the mountain bike, and did road trips with the kids (I was 41) to make sure I kept myself safe for the sake of raising them. Road biking just didn't have the same luster and didn't last. Now I am about to launch kid number 3. My youngest is 14, and wants to learn to mountain bike... And tbh so do I (again). So much has changed over nearly a decade and a half, it is insane. Anyway, by spring I damned well better be in shape, because the kid deserves those experiences, and I'd like to share them. Anyway, my hindsight may be take less risk, but don't give it up. Your kid will want to bike with Dad. Good luck man, take care

Damn man, gnarlier than just seeing it. Now dad tip, to the newbie dad, you live in hippievile, go get a swaddle or 6, this will be your saving grace with the new mini human. Reason being is the kid will be compressed, and that is what it knows as a safe place(womb simulator scenario). So when kid wakes up pissed off, mama has had no sleep, and you want a happy mama? Swaddle, swing, and wispy sounds, it simulates the womb and a place it knows is safe. Defenses dropped, kid falls back to sleep, mama gets more sleep, and then she’s not a sleep deprived psycho-zombie the next day. Happy wife, Happy life, and sleep with be the key for all of you. Congrats on the mini human creation.

Dude. Glad you were able to walk away from this one. You went full send!!!

I've been mountain biking since 19 and 87 youngster. Crashing back then hurt but we could bounce back up. Now, at 57 and still mountain biking, I don't bounce well. I wear a lot of body armor, knee, elbow, chest, back, shoulder, hip and coccyx. Yes its a lot but I bounce better. I can move really well with the gear I have. This crash for you was just a mistake but body armor is a must as we get older

"Gettin old is not fun, I'm 41 years old" 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂 Come and talk to me in 15 years time young man.

The crash does look epic, though. I use to do the same move for drops. Used to call that method an “English Hop”. What I do now is to quickly push the bike forward. Only need a small movement. The speed of the snap will keep the front up longer. If you miss the timing, at least your bike further in front, so gives you a little more room to screw up and make a bad landing. It does with for jumps, but ends up squashing the jump.

Feel better dude! Love your videos, keep them coming! I'm also 41 and a new parent and us old dads need the inspiration to continue hurting ourselves well into our middle years! Lol cheers!

Real stuff Bobo.❤ I crashed and broke my collarbone in may. That hits home, literally. Being a dad die makes you prioritize stuff differently and also... The body doesn't recover the way it used to😅 Great video and thanks for your contribution to the world 🤙🏻

Dude I got 10 weeks off work, paid, when I had my son. The thing was I could use it all at once or use it in 2 week chunks for up to a year of the birth. I decided to save 2 weeks at the very end and use it just for me and go MTB riding as much as I could. Day 1: I went out to the local bike park and rode the downhill jump trail. I walked it. I slow rolled it and took the B-Line for an hour. Then I started to jump things. One by one I cleared things at the right speed and I felt like I could put it into a flow and go for it without killing the flow. Well 3 jumps into the line theres a gap4 feet long that drops to a bowl 10 feet deep then a step-up on the other side. I over cleared the gap and landed in the flat. I decided I didn't have the speed to clear the next step-up but the bowl was actually just kind of cut into the hill so instead of coming to a stop I tried to bypass it so I could walk back to the top and try again with less speed. Unfortunately when I veered off to bypass, I was off trail and because it was Fall oak leaves were all over the ground. My breaks locked and my tire hit them so I started to surf down the slope with way too much speed. Don't worry, nature had my back. I couldn't stop but an Oak tree was right there to help but I was still going about 10-15 MPH. As Seth would say; SMASH!!! I ended up breaking every rib on the side of my body that hit the tree. Long story short, I loaded my bike and drove back home with like 8 broken ribs. My wife was pissed! I was supposed to help her with our 1 year old for my last 2 weeks off work but now I was laid up. In all adventure sports we assume risk but I think thats what makes it fun. Bones heal, skin grows back and on the brightside I have a great story to tell several years later.

41 here, still progressing. Getting old(er) is not the most fun, but... at least we're riding bikes! I love the honesty and showcasing what happened so we can learn from it. Cheers, buddy.

52 here, and I think you naturally change the type of riding you enjoy as you get older. Just being out on the bike is fun and big jumps scream 'risk assessment-fail' .😂😂

I knew that crash had to hurt when I saw the last video! I'm the same age as you and after multiple broken bones I learned a lot of these same lessons. I don't hit as many big features as you but as others mentioned I'll gladly take all the padding and body armor available!

When I saw that in the video, I thought to myself, damn the commitment this guy has. Heal up my dude!

63 and riding. I were hip pads, shin pads and gloves on every ride. I don’t like elbow pads but I have started wearing them more often. I ride with a camelback and that’s saved me more then once. Crashed last weekend on a trail I have ridden a 100 times. Few scrapes but those hip pads worked like a charm. I also wear full face all the time since my buddy did a low speed crash over a curb and now has scars like Tom Beringer in Platoon. He was wearing a half shell.

Congratu-frickin'lations! If you think the feeling of sending that drop for your first time, just wait till the first time your little shredder flies over a table or sends a monster drop. That shit is GOLD. Take care of yourself so you get there.

I can relate, I’m 54 and riding better than I ever have but I am a bit busted up this year. Last week was almost my grand finale when my tire blew off the rim of my road bike at 45 mph. Tuck and roll was engaged but left shoulder injured and a bunch of road rash. Cracked my Kali helmet but no concussion. Very lucky wasn’t worse and hope to be back this week. Been doing more on the MTB this year than ever but also need to a accept that stupid decisions can have bad consequences.

damn dude. this one hurts me on so many levels. especially when it comes to the balance of knowing we do dangerous sports as parents and soon to be parents. keep your head up man. bikes are amazing. they inspire creativity and adventure. things that your kids will look up too tremendously.

I have a 9 month and just wrecked my right (dominant) hand. I can't do much one handed so, like you, my wife is now taking care of me AND the poop machine. It sucks not being able to interact with the charmer like I would if I wasn't injured and I can already hear the wife still bringing this up in 2043. Definitely makes me ponder whether it's time to move the 'acceptable level of risk' threshold. Also, wiping with the left hand feels funky.

BoBo your awesome. Thanks for all the content. you make me laugh- alot. getting old aint for wimps. i am 55, still riding. i appreciate all you do.

We Struggle through the same. Just comes to the point that the risk is not worth the reward. You got to live to film another day or go to work. But that box car jump is a full send it just takes that one mistake. Feel better. Bobo and congrats on the baby!

Interestingly, I had an almost identical fall off about a week ago! Same thing - a drop off I'd ridden more than 30 times then just got it wrong - front wheel dropped and catapulted me over the bars. Broken ribs, punctured lung and 3 days in hospital. Fortunately, I'm on the mend but lucky not to be more badly hurt. Incidents like that make you question what you're doing and re-evaluate why you're doing it. It might be sometime before I go back to that drop. I'm only 58 years old so that's probably why you got off so lightly! Get well soon! And please share your mental recovery journey!

That crash sucks, but I got to say, it made the Wes Anderson skit so much better:) It looks like if you hadn't preloaded at the last sec, you might have made it. That load release pushed you forward. Thanks for your dedication!

Congrats on the future mini Bobo. 59 and lots more trails to explore.

That bruise is serious business. Glad you're on the mend.

This nearly happened to me at the bike park last weekend. I've hit every big drop in the place no problem but usually I will always still scope them out before I go just to remember, feel confident and see if anything has changed. This time tho, I just hit them cold...nose heavy off of everything, super sketchy, 100% being saved by the bike...I lived but man it was an ego check.

I totally get it dude! I have a great job, and I’m a dad also, but I love to send it!!! All about finding that balance and have to remind myself to warm up too. Great videos and hope you have a quick recovery!

Maaaan at 52 years old I used to think that I was invincible. Well, guess what when you hit you don’t bounce anymore and it hurts for a long time. Nice bruises, Bobo and get better man don’t quit get back on it go for as long as you can.

59 years old and crashed recently on my cx bike... concussion, 24 hours in the hospital and three days of memory loss. Healing takes longer at my age. Like BOBO, taking care of me was the last thing my wife needed - like taking care of our 6 and 8 year-olds is not enough.

I was in a car accident last year that kept me off the bike for a little while and hindered my ability to hit big features. Coming back to close to 100% I have a better respect for wants vs needs. I want to hit big drops but maybe the risk isn’t always worth it.

Get well soon, Bobo! That's real dedication!!

Feel your pain. I’m 61. Recovering takes forever. I don’t do big jumps or drops anymore. Still have fun though.

I haven't seen a hip like that since my crash in 1997 on a steep, rocky descent. I had ridden this section many times, but one early morning around 6:30, things wouldn't go as planned. I clipped a large rock with my front wheel, pitching myself straight onto a slab on my left, and lights out. I have no idea how long I was unconscious, but when I came to, my bike was another 30' down the trail from where I laid. When I tried to get up, the pain was so excruciating, I blacked out again. I came to thinking my hip was broken, drug myself to my bike, and barely was able to get up on one leg without blacking out a second time. Needless to say, it took me 2 hrs to go 1 mile back to my truck to get home. Luckily my hip wasn't broken, but my left side was black and purple from my knee up to my armpit. Get better, but pay attention to your body, even if you feel 100%, give it another week or two to fully recover. My injury took 3 months for me, before I could ride again.

42 here! Jumps and other crazy things? nope! XC is ok I guess with some technical stuff! I'm a father of a 5 yo girl. You will feel that responsibility when kids arrive! Time to still film and comedically use a stuntman for the crazy stuff, like the Top Gear mysterious helmet driver (Schumacher). Get well soon and take better care of yourself!

Dude. I turned 40 this year and I've ONLY now started hitting up drops and jumps. So much fun. But yeah, I think about the work and the day after alot more than I should be when approaching something "fun".

Hope you keep riding. Last crash I had kept me in bed for 5 months. At 52 years at the time, my liver, pancreas, aorta, ribs and both wrists got broken, torn or damaged. I'm riding again, but not as aggressively. Be careful and lucky!

Hope you heal up soon. Had my first kid a couple months before I turned 41. Being a father is an amazing experience. Also amazingly frustrating, as you will find out soon. Saying that, life will s far better with my kids than without. Congratulations!

Rest up and keep up the good work. Love the videos. They always make me smile. I make money with my hands and injured my pinky finger a few weeks ago in a lame crash. Minor injury, but kept me from working for over a week. And I have a little one too. I'm 40 and want to ride for as long as possible.

the moral of the story. maybe these could have prevented all injurys: - Leatt protector-Shorts Impact 3DF 5.0 - POC VPD Air Sleeve and when we at it. - Leatt Airflex breastplate - Endura MT500 Lite I dont get why people dont wear arm sleeves or impact shorts. Just a small slip up with 5mph and you scrap your whole arms and hips. the light stuff does the job, for a intermediate rider you dont need the high end motorcross protection armor with neckbrace still nothing wrong with it. if you are scared after this crash. Buy some protectors, they will give you the confidence to send it again.

love your videos, don't stop.

After 40 years of riding😮 and having woken up with my shoes still clipped on my bike lol I feel ya, I’ve had five terrible crashes three resulting in hospital time and body part repairs , along with multiple oh fucks😮😮😅. you’re content is awesome, having fun, enjoying friends and family and having a good ride session. Happy trails. We got a ride.🎉

Same thing happened to me last weekend dude. I went off of a sick wooden lip, Landed/slid out and gravity just dragged me down the dry rocky landing where I ate it...

I personally watch your videos because they are entertaining and you are a funny guy, I could care less if you do big jumps and drops, take care of yourself so that you can continue doing what you love to do.

47 here. I hit a big jump at NorthStar last month; my right foot slipped off the pedal, and I landed the jump without crashing on my left foot. Felt a sharp pain in my lower back. Kept riding anyway but later ended up with an annular tear in my S1-L5. I could have used a walker myself. It's depressing because I ride 2-3 times per week. It's my social outlet. I remember when you broke your collarbone. This shit sucks, but I am motivated to get better to ride again.

Heal up. Maybe more safety gear but don’t stop. You will miss it more than you know. I am 53 and still charging.

2 weeks ago on Sunday I had my very first brutal crash, ended up with 3 cracked ribs, a few deep abrasions and lots of bruises. Surprisingly, I have spent countless hours thinking what could I have done to avoid flying over the bars, not a second of that time I spent thinking whether or not I should quit riding bikes. I think it's needless to say; Don't let that discourage you!

Literally broke my collar bone last week on a regular ass road ride and my hip looks just like yours lol. It's crazy how fast things can go south even when you're doing something you do on a daily basis. I like to remember a quote from one of my favorite motivational speakers in times like these: "the comeback is greater than the setback" *Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino from the Jersey Shore 😂 Heal up brother

im 49 plenty of scars ,broken bones and plenty of crashes... glad you ok.. we all get to that point that we say ... ok thats it.. Dont give up.. just learn from the crash and wear armor when doing bigger drops and jumps.

I'm 66 and I crashed twice in July in the Whistler bike park. Very similar scrapes and bruises, too. HOWEVER, I use armour, because I don't just bounce any more.

It’s crazy how the worst crashes never seem to happen on the hard stuff 😅. Heal up soon my dude 🤘🏻

I broke my clavicle at an enduro race when my son was barely 2. Felt horrible to not be able to pick him up or help my wife at all. I get it. Its hard to remember that its not just me out there when the adrenaline is going, but its important to know that my injuries now hurt my family. I cant imagine how hard it must be to have it tied to income, hope you heal up and stay safe out there.

48, broke my back and had my spine fused. I haven't ridden in about 7 months now. It's not because I'm not interested, but the crashes just hurt so much more now. I just don't take the same risks I used to because I have a family to take care. I can't afford to be injured. Hope you heal quickly and wear pads next time man.

As you get into your 40s as a rider, your ego tends to settle down too. So the drive to "send it" matters less for most. A lot (not all of course) of these falls come from that desire to "progress" or keep up with the bros sending it. Being a new Dad in my 40's, I find that it's not difficult to still ride hard and have fun, but dial it back from the truly risky stuff - though ultimately, MTB is inherently dangerous. Still, there's definitely a happy medium to keep on shredding. The bigger challenge Bobo will be time! Once that baby is born, your time to ride will just be way less - though it is helpful to live around a bunch of trails. Still worth it though! Heal up.

Hey Bobo I'm 52 here I broke my collarbone and shoulder blade 2 years ago. It happens! I still push and have been progressing I just do it more cautiously. Rest up & thanks for the honesty!!

I didn’t start riding until I was 30 and quickly learned how dangerous it can be as in my first 2mo of riding I not only dislocated and fractured my pinky but 2 weeks later fractured my left elbow. First time in my life I’d broken anything aside from my nose. A couple more broken bones (one resulting in surgery) and I’m almost 32 now and just got back from whistler for the first time. I’ve got 3 kids and will continue to ride but I’ve learned a lot from my crashes. I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon and will keep pushing my self towards larger features but in the back of my mind is that constant fear that I’m putting not just myself but them at risk. Crazy things we do for the things we’re passionate about I guess. Ps. Zero crashes in 2023 so far, hoping to keep it that way

Just got back from an enduro race earlier today. Didn't pre-ride, didn't wear body armor, didn't wear a full face helmet. What a mistake. It rained hard and the rocks were covered in slippery algae slime. The E-Bikes made the course even more sketchy. Had a bad crash on one of the stages. Lucky I didn't break my my face off. The half shell saved me, but it was over matched. After my soft injuries heal... face. Anytime I do enduro it will be with a full face, body armor, and a pre-ride. FYI...I'm 55.

It is funny that I found this video of a wipeout while recovering from the same kind of wipe out a week ago. Nice to see I am not the only older guy that falls and beats him self up as I am just getting back in to biking as it is something I do with my son. If you know where I can find some body armour shirts I would love to get a like for them.

Love your work. Stay safe

Bobo, you’ve taken the first step, you’ve admitted that you’re an “old guy”. I’m 60yrs now and i was about 40 (and my son was 1yrs) when i admitted that to myself. And you know what? I still love mtb-ing. I just don’t do the silly drop shit anymore. You have joined a very exclusive group my friend, a group of ‘extraordinary gentleman’, and we watch stupid young men (and sometimes women) do the crazy stuff and laugh ‘heartily’ when they crash. WELCOME.

First, thanks for the work you do, Bobo. Second, Factor is legit good food. I'm not a shill, but it's good to see channels I like partnering with things that are actually good.

That wreck with Paul the Punter was truly a scary weird one to watch. Glad you're okay dude!!

Recently, I did the biggest drop I have ever done on my capra. Today, I was planning to one up it. Thank you for reminding everyone to warm up first!

When I saw this scene, I wondered how you filmed that. I wondered what trip filming you used.keep up the get utubing man. And thanks for your honesty

Wow, always sorry to see someone hurt themselves in a crash Bobo, Take it easy kid and I wish you a quick and full recovery, congrats to you and your wife on the future family as well!

Pre, Re, then Free ride = yes. But like jcreeker says below, swallow the frickin pride & ride get properly armored up, bro. I'm 52, broken somewhere in the ballpark of 25+ bones (sorta lost count over the years), still have a titanium plate on one collarbone, dislocated a hip {btw, not all of these were biking accidents...but I play hard in every sport} & all of these make an older dude get up a little more anxious after a crash to see what's still working. The young punks w/no experience might think it's uncool to wear the pads, but I can out ride most of them & regardless of that, I have a job that I've got to do to pay for all my toys & epic trips. Wearing protection won't stop you from crashing, or insure you won't get hurt, but it'll drastically reduce the potential damage. Good luck w/the little-one-on-the-way, & keep riding, dude!

Good video. Can you do a video about your transitioning back to an amish bike, and why you switched back?

Enjoy your videos. Tease one of my long time biking friends with the e mtb fun- at 54 I am a convert after being a hater 😂. So my main sport is Motocross- I train with mtb( 30 years). Healing up from a broken arm- motocross- plate/screws. Other arm 2 years back. I started Moto at 50 and love it- trying to speed my recovery to get back at it. Thoughts of quitting as The downtime sucks- this happens with most injuries 😂. Far less glamorous ways of injuring one self - I work at a hospital in a surgery area- people fall stepping off a curb and break their arm. Whenever injured I try to recover as quickly as possible- no crying- do the therapy full blast ; so I can minimize the inconvenience on my family/work. These activities are my choice and I believe great motivation to keep my health optimized. Like a friend said “ I would rather have an ortho appointment then a cardiac one”.

As a witness of this and the dude that said "whats up bobo's video" with that really flattering angle, I can confirm that shit was rough, props to you my guy and heal fast

Rough crash, dude! I went down a few months ago on the blue trail heading back to my truck FROM the black trail. Felt pretty dumb but oh well! Don't stop riding!

Hope you heal up quickly and get back on the bike soon.

41‽ Pah ya young whippersnapper! 😂 I got my first mountain bike at 39… now I’m nearly 49 and off the bike with broken ribs (my second time in 3 years) but still planning my next MTB trip when I’m all better. It helps that my kids are all grown up and moved out though. Heal up soon. 👍🏽

jesus those bruises look like hell man hopefully you get better soon ❤

I’m 47 and have ridden motocross since I was four, also ride MTB to cross-train for MX. Broke my foot last week on the MX bike, which resulted in surgery. I work freelance as a Director of Photography, I pretty much can’t work for at least two months. I have had too many injuries and caused too much stress on my family to keep riding motocross. I’m actually giving that up and ONLY doing MTB now. It’s all relative on what we perceive is dangerous.

Get well soon! Plus do what you need to do for the family. I'm sure you'll still make some killer videos!!
