steering so i take a closer look at the bike and see the bottom J-arm where the ball joint is and it just blew apart.....and he said he jump off the bike before he hit the tree's.......My Wife get where we are which is right in front of the house on the other side of the trees decides to run him over to the hospital to get him check out.......mean while I'm towing the shee back home......get there the phone rings again she on the line with me" hurry over here he broke both arms, elbow and his one foot.Might

Wow how is he doing today, is he alright no head trauma or anything? Wish him the best and the family hopefully he will get a speedy recovery, let us know how he is doing.

holy hell! that shows you how much fear/shame/shock can wash out the pain. Kid brok both arms and his foot and stood there. At least he wasnt seriously injured. Broken bons like those he will be able to make a full recovery in no time

Yep when we were at the hospital we were like how in the world was he able to get the cell phone out and call even get his helmet off and walked about 2 blocks home to the car....We figured he was in 4th or 5 gear when he jumped of so he was running somewhere around 50- 60 mph.........

Dang man, hopefully he's ok now and starting to ride again. Im 16 so I understand. It's amazing though how after something like that you can not even feel stuff until a little while later.

You're 16? Shit man, you know a lot about Banshee shit, and have a damn sweet build going on!

 

I would have guessed you were much older.

WOW... Glad he is ok... But why did'nt he just mash on the back brake? Did the shee go into the

tree's or did it just stop?

It was a judgement call. bottom arm dug into dirt, kill switch shut the motor down.........Update Bone's are all healed bike all fixed.........
