Gen Posted July 29, 2017 Share I have only ridden VG once and we stayed at the cheese farm for that weekend. Erik was very hospitable and gave us all the necessary info on the trails.. hoping for a positive outcome for him. Strength to him and his family during this time.

Long Wheel Base Posted July 31, 2017 Share The world needs more positive minded people like Erik. To be dealt a blow like this for someone like him and then still to have such positive vibes. RESPECT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.T.G Posted August 2, 2017 Share Latest... "And so my road to recovery begins... Currently in Meulmed at the spinal unit, undergoing rehab after a falloff my bike, breaking my nek at C6 & C7. I have been diagnosed as a quadriplegic being unable to move my lower body and unable to move my hands. I do however have the movement of my shoulders and elbows and will learn to use my hands to the best of my capability.It will be a long journey, and challenge me like i have not been challenged before. I had been preparing for big races, training hard in case someone dropped out of one of the big mtb events later in the year. Although nothing could prepare me for this, I am ready to face the challenge head on. I now have a public page, for those of you who would like to follow my progress.They wont give me my phone to accept new friends! best i could do. https://www.facebook.com/TheMountainViking/ " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.T.G Posted September 8, 2017 Share @L.T.G have you got any news on Erik?Sorry... Thought Id posted here already.. I saw him two weeks ago.he was home for weekend from rehab.In good spirits and very positive.For him to be allowed to home from rehab for his first visit, he had to pass certain tests.No one's achieved them in the short space of a month like he did, so his progress of learning how to live with his condition has been really good.As far as can be told, there'll be no change... he has to adapt and learn to do things as he is now.He's incredibly tough and I suppose that's what made it even more heartbreaking to me again.. to see him lying there.
