This is the one of the first biking videos I've clicked on since my downhill injury 2 years ago, i have been subconsciously avoiding them i think. i have no idea why I clicked nor did i know it was going to be a story like this but i needed to hear the motivation. I had Broken neck, Broken spine and paralysed from the chest down and every word of this is relatable as fuck. This is the motive i need to continue to get my shit together again.

I’m a brain cancer survivor, diagnosed with PTSD. When Tom said ‘grateful to live’ at the end that got me going.. It’s taken me half a decade to say that and mean it. I used to get so angry about my illness and what it has taken from me. But once I started appreciating what I do have things have looked up. I’m down 10kg’s, riding regularly and feeling like the old confident me. Awesome video you legends 🤙🏼

So Inspirational Tom! Broke my ankle pretty bad in Whistler, 2019 and was told that I'd never be able to ride at the level I was at again. Watching this brought me back to the mental battles and struggles I was going through back then. I actually looked at hitting the train gap a couple days before my crash on dirty merch. Sometimes life throws you curve balls, and it's up to you(me) on how you’re gonna react. I remember watching this video while I was laid up in bed with my leg cast. It sent shivers down my spine. So glad to see you’re back on the bike and ripping. Really makes me thing mountain biking is more than just bikes but a community of people who all in turn care about each other. This video motivated me to really appreciate all that I am able to do on a daily basis. Keep on shredding -Flynn

I was in a motorbike accident which saw me nearly lose my left leg. It took 3 years to put me back together. I didn't have PTSD but it did screw me up mentally. Doctors told me at one point they may have to amputate my lower leg. Even after extensive surgeries, my leg was saved, but I was told me the injury was life changing, and the doctors words were "you won't be climbing any mountains" 3 years on I was still on the path to recovery but walking again, and I worked hard to build up my strength. I had to grit my teeth through a lot of pain, and fight the demons in my head which were telling me to give up. I pushed myself and eventually took myself to Wales and summited Snowdon. Only just. It was hard, my legs nearly gave up on me. When I reached the summit I burst into tears. I never thought it was going to happen. Good on you for keeping the fight going, for not giving up, and believing in yourself. It's hard, but you can do it. I've seen people written off by doctors, but have grit their teeth and earned the reward. I now climb mountains regularly and I appreciate life so much. Never take your health for granted. It could all be taken away from you in the blink of an eye.

Tommo, your story is so inspiring! Watching this vid i see myself. 2015, local trail, crash, 3 broken collarbones. 1 month in a hospital. Doctors said there's no chance for me to ride my Demo 8 again. That hospital time was kinda useful. I realized who are my real friends. Who are people you should love till the end of your life. I couldn't move my body left and right for like 5 weeks. Mentally you slowly become like a vegetable. Then, hard recovery. Several tries to make some small steps again. Small in distance, but veeeeery long in my mind. Almost 7 years later I ride my bike again, walk like nothing happened. Guys, crashes like this - it's a very valuable lesson. I don't want you to go through this. Cause it's not about temporary body disabilities, it's likely about mental strength, ability to stay positive even at such hard times.

And the fun fact is: two doctors who said I will never ride my bike and walk like a normal person, passed away. First doctor died at age 51, one year after my crash.

Its crazy how crashes mentally effect us. My motorcycle crash had a huge impact on me for years. That feeling of helplessness after a crash where you're so smashed up you cant move. Its crazy. He's lucky friends were there. I crashed alone and laid there for 3 hours. Screamed bloody murder for like 1 hour of that. Happened back in the days of Nokia brick phones, 2003 and I didnt know I could call 911 without cell service so I didnt call for an hour or so. Nearly bled to death internally.

Hi Tommo thank you for sharing what happened in this tragic accident. Not only do you go through the physical side but the emotional horror...I went through the same expereince crushed spine broken pelvis all my ribs broken crushed nerves in my left leg. At 35 I was heading off to the World Triathlon Championships I was already a successful Motocross rider moving to another sport. I was in a high speed car accident 120klm/hr roll over but we hit a telegraph post first that flung me into the front windscreen. I also saw the light but it was the engine bay catching on fire I was trapped in a crushed car the driver just left me there ? They were in shock I don't hate them but my life has forever changed because of the driver. Now I'm 63 I did compete in many World Championships. I have suffered pain so strong the doctors ask how the hell can you do this competing let alone just being a normal everyday person. I was determined I had no body in my life at the time to share the good bad and ugly days. As a person that particepates in sports this I think gave me the power and strength the Surgeon said I would never walk normal and I would never compete again. That was my Ah !!! don't ever so you can't do that anymore just like Martha the lady at the canteen she could understnad disappointment frustration and fear.That person had something very special and she offered to share that with you. I never got to wear my World Championship colours or have Olympic Medals around my neck but I do have the gift to encourage and keep positive as there is always someone that is worse off than me. Cheers mate from down under.
