So, as you can read in Carlos post I had to get a surgery on my knee. It happened to me again, torn ACL, second time. What the f***! It was already in february, on Nastys jumps. I did a superseater..easy..but somehow didn't land on pedals (I think my cranks flipped). Didn't crash, but my knee twisted. After that i didn't want to quit the summerseason, so I decided to ride on with a new carbon-brace. But it didn't really work out and I twisted my knee again (even with the brace!). I got my knee checked again and the result was an injured meniscus. I didn't want to go on like that and destroy my knee totally, so I decided to get the surgery done, even if I can't really ride this summer anymore. It's super frustrating, but still better than having f****** problems with the knee for your whole life. I don't know what's going on at the moment, I know so many guys who tore their ACL in the last weeks. (yo Ryder, take it easy with your knee!)
Now the surgery is done, I got a new ligament, my meniscus is fixed and I can start looking forward. I'm gonna stick to the mtb-szene during my rehab for real... some new projects are already in the work. I keep you updated.
Last week Harookz, Andreu, Lluis, Ross and Vince did a short trip through germany and played Berlin tourists. Goood times!!
-the Berlin Wall: Harookz and Andreu were stoked, Vince too. Andreu is a little poet and added Harookz' favourite saying.
-26" in front and 20" rear: Berlin Ghetto Style. You need special skills to ride it. Carlo had...problems.
- Harookz' flashes are too much for my little pocket camera: Ruben wallride by Carlo. Later Carlo killed this sweet tricky curved wall.
- Lluis and Andreu Lacondeguy. 1 hour before their flight. No tools, no tape... They made it!
High Five!
