A truly inspirational post on PinkBike’s site!
#HighFivesAthlete Ryan St Lawrence suffered a spinal cord injury two years ago that changed his life. But he’s back at it with an adapted Santa Cruz V10 and has been out for his first shred. Read the full story by Ryan on Pinkbike’s site HERE!
RYAN BROKE HIS BACK DURING A FALL WHILE RIDING WITH FRIENDS AT THE HIGHLAND MOUNTAIN BIKE PARK IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THE FALL RESULTED IN T4 AND HIGH C VERTEBRAE FRACTURES LEAVING HIM PARALYZED FROM THE UPPER STOMACH DOWN.
RYAN IS DEDICATED TO GETTING BACK ON HIS FEET IN SOME CAPACITY. MOUNTAIN BIKING WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE HIS PASSION, AND HE ASPIRES TO ONE DAY PURSUE THE SPORT AGAIN. RYAN WILL ALWAYS STRIVE FOR AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE, EVEN IF IT’S IN AN ADAPTIVE FASHION.
