Hope you recuperate and rehab well @ASU_GT. Kat Matthews got 'crushed' in Texas last September, 10 days from Kona: similar collision it sounds like (20+mph and left turning SMIDSY) and results (fractured vertebrae, base of skull, hip, sternum, ribs, lung, half face). Crushed episode 1 here:
and think episode 2 due sometime this month. From Instas 5 months on seems mended and back thrashing the training. Memorialising - don't know.
My worst (fast downhill front wheel blow, air and road ambulance arguing where to take me is the first thing I remember after the bang/expletive moment) means I'm just a tad more mature (than my previous self) on sketchy downhills.
One bonus of 'nothing I could do' is that you can banish any guilt(riding skill fail) element and just ride as hard as your gradually mending/mended body allows.
