    The titles so true, a few of my mates recently started MTB in their mid 20’s and invited me along after 11 years off the bike. I fell out of love with biking after years of racing 4x & BMX by breaking my scaphoid, dislocating my elbow and snapping ligaments in my knee in a crash when I was 17.
    That was the 3rd consecutive race season with multiple fractures and X Rays, I got dropped by my sponsors because I wasn’t able to compete enough for them due to my injuries.
    The final nail in the coffin was being told that my elbow will never be strong again (the 5th time id dislocated it after breaking it when I was 14) and being told that any more damage to it and I’d need surgery and I wouldn’t even be able to play a sport like golf as that would be too strenuous on my elbow, all of this made me hate the sport and walk away from something I’d loved since the age of 10.
    Fast forward 11 years and I was invited out by my mates for a ride at Easter this year and after about 6 months they’ve all said they now try jumps they never dreamed of trying after I’ve done them because I’m able to tell them how to get the speed right for a jump “if you don’t brake around the berm you’ll clear it easily” “2 cranks and you’ll pop right over it” or by towing them in / jumping the jumps as slowly as I can while they watch so they know the slowest ‘safe speed’ to clear the jumps. and I’ve gotta say knowing that I’m responsible for their progression and helping people fight the fear before trying something new has really made me fall in love with the sport again.
    One day at a bike park and I got one friend who would only jump small tabletops to be jumping doubles and gap jumps up to 10 foot long, the feeling of accomplishment I felt was way better than any race win.
    And knowing I’m helping others improve at something I was and still am passionate about(and looking back on it always was) it has stopped the downward spiral I was in for my mental health, Ive been on and off anti depressants since I stopped racing and for the last 8 years I was filling the void with cocaine, ecstasy and cannabis. Having trips to look forward to and setting my mates challenges to help them improve and helping them overcome ‘the fear’ has helped me be me again and the best part? I’ve not touched any cocaine or ecstasy since May (I still have a joint now and then but I’ve gone from having 5 Js a day to one or 2 on a Friday night after a week of work)

    Scaphoid fractures suck real bad... I also fractured my scaphoid a couple of years ago. Luckily it was a non-displaced fracture so no screw needed. It took about 3 months until I was back on the bike. 8 weeks in a cast and another month of intense physio to get back my full range of motion and strengthen my hand. Physio is so important! However, for about a year, I still had some weird sensations in my hand. It took a while until it felt as strong as before. After a year it was all good. I managed to get my confidence back up and even get better at riding the bike. Definitely learned to pace myself better and make smarter decisions. Have a quick and easy recovery!
