Mike Aitken’s First Rail Since His Accident.

mikeaitken
This popped up on Twitter earlier today. Awesome! It’s amazing to see how far Mikey is coming in such a short period of time. His story is incredibly inspirational. Consider that 9 months ago it was a big deal for him to even pedal around and do a 180 (for which he earned 111 comments), this is pretty amazing. Check the rail in question after the jump.

    I’m sure he didn’t give a fuck about “earning” 111 comments.
    I don’t know what’s wrong with that comment but it just sounds really dumb considering all he’s gone through.

    Grats Mikey!

    man that was really fast all things considered. man i am stoked ,i have seen 1st hand what a accident like that can do to family friends and the bmx commmunity my frien troy fell riding a simple jump he nose cased it on his first try then nose manueled the landing and smashed the top of his head on the next lip which broke his neck knocke him out and put him into cardiac arrest then he was taken to vancouver to the childrens hospityal .his progress went up and down and his parents were eventually told tht he would be in a coma for a unknowen time and if he woke up he would be on life support and he would be a vegtable so his parents pulled the plug and my whole school all the riders the bike shop peoples parents firends of the family etc stepped in a took up the slack.anyway its a sad story and hats why iam so happy to c mike pull out .despite all the hate , girl pants and indian givers and bullshit in bmx, i can say i am stocked to be part of a sport with such a tight community///11!!!!!!

    just kiddin, mikey deserves dome from 10 bitches at the same time, but i’m sure his wifey won’t be too hype. Now shhh, don’t get his ass put in the doghouse.

  • http://Website Beringer

    Today was sick, I think we were all pretty scared when he grinded it for the first time. He pulled it no problem first try. Then he started talking about going up the rail, then he did it first try!! He had a couple slip ups but he was almost doing up rail to 180. He had his helmet on but we were still nervous for him. After he hit the up rail about 20 times or more we knew he had the skills and confidence. He didn’t get the up rail to 180 but he says that his best footage is still to come, I know by now not to underestimate his capabilities. He is determined as hell and I didn’t see this day coming this soon. Kick ass!!!!

  • http://Website Craig

    haha i can’t believe he’s back riding decent. Its awesome, hopefully one day he’ll be nearly back to the level he was before he got hurt.

    all you losers saying your slut girlfriends will give him “dome” are the worst. he has a beautiful wife and son and I know he would never throw that away for some whore. keep that shit to yourselves and show a little respect. way to go mike, makin’ a comeback, we all miss you!

  • http://Website chase

    mikey is anything he wants himself to be, this is seriously amazing. the fact that he is jumping on a rail shows how determined he is. biggest influence and inspiration in bmx, you can’t tell mike what he can or can’t do.

    HELL YA that what happens when riders come to ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO they get things done big ups MIKE good to see mad RESPECT

  • http://synergy-bmx.com ant errickson

    i don’t know about any of you, but Mike is by far my favorite rider and I am very stoked to hear this information.

    I don’t know if he will ever be back up to doing things on a bike the way he was, but at least he is pushing himself to be there again. (we can only hope) I could not imagine being on the top of the world the way he was, only to be knocked all the way back to the beginning again. On something he has ridden many many times in the past.

    Only goes to show ya. Don’t take life for granted. You never know what could happen tomorrow.

    Congrats Mikey, keep it light brother.
