Is this Normal?













So some of you may know I crashed riding motocross. It happened Monday evening. I went to a local track and went off a jump that had some holes/bumps at the top. (kinda like this one but more just towards the top of the jump)












I got kicked sideways and crashed. It happened so fast but I immediately knew I had injured my knee. As I lay there I thought to myself, "I am done with this sport" and I just prayed to God that it wasn't anything major, but the pain initally was pretty intense.




The pain subsided and I was able to get in my truck and drive home. I went to the Dr the next day and we still aren't 100% sure what the plan of action will be (most likely surgery) but I did tear my MCL, PCL, and have a small fracture on my tibia.




And as Brit put it best "I don't know about this motocross thing, Ben", ya me either sweetie, me either.

Oh sad! I partially tore my MCL skiing a few years back. My knee was not normal for months so I kinda sorta...well not really...feel your pain. It looks really painful. I'm with Brittany!

AY YAY YAI!!!!!!!! That is awful! I hope surgery and recovery go well. I honestly can't imagine the pain. And you know, we have seasons in life...all of them have to end at some point.

That looks awful! I think it's pretty cool that you don't ever give up. I would be too scared to keep doing it if it were me.
