2010 refresher: Lee Dennis in ATX
All I can say is Lee Dennis is really good and tough as nails. There’s a whole bunch of amazing moves in this video that probably get overshadowed by the ending. His recovery was surprisingly quick, he was back riding in only a few months. Here’s what Lee had to say about the trip, video and crash.
So this was my first trip to Texas, it couldn’t have been at a better time. It was January and the prime of winter where I’m from (Niagara Falls,Canada) so to get the chance to go to Austin where it’s t-shirt weather was a treat. I was there for a total of 14 days, where I got to ride a ton of famous spots I’ve seen in videos over the years. It started out awesome, but ended with the one of my worse crashes to date. Flew home 2 days later then 4 days after that I was omitted to the hospital where they found I had ruptured my kidney and lacerated my liver. This was early in the year, there was still snow on the ground so I relaxed/played video games for the next 2 months and was good to go by April. What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.
