Check this out!!
OK, this is an incredible motocross video. Here's the backstory.
It happened in the Swedish championship about 15 months ago, the rider's name is André Nilsson. He was leading the championship in the MX3 class when he got hit by another rider who's throttle stuck wide open and the slipper clutch he was using wouldn't disengage. The other rider landed off a highspeed jump which was directly followed by a sharp lefthander. He went straight through a net-barrier and flew over a ditch to hit André.
André broke almost every bone in his body, his heart was badly damaged, his lungs collapsed and he had some bleeding in the brain. He was in coma for 12 days.
However, somehow he survived and last week, he raced again. Just as amazingly, in that race he took the holeshot and finished 10.
Now you know the story, watch the video here.
