For the first time since his near fatal accident last fall BMX rider Mike Aitken has decided to release some of the pictures and footage of his recovery. He feels it’s important to show the impact that one fall can have, and wants to share what it’s taken to try and get it all back. Check out more at www.mikeaitken.com

@BayGame1 he didnt die he still rides for fit
I had a really hard fall… I fractured a vertebrea in my back and skinned my elbow, palm, and hip to the bone… the doc said i was about 2mm away from dying.. im still recovering and thought i never wanted to ride again, untill i saw this video along with mikey riding again after 5 months rehab. it inspired me to keep going.. mike idk if you will ever read this but i truely hope you do. I just wanna say thank you and your my hero. you inspired me to start and now continue riding
Mike, you’re the man that got me on a bike. You’re an inspiration to the entire riding community around here, and you’ve got a ton of people that ride on dirt with your flow in mind. God bless the recovery.

Somebody told me he died…
Mike you deserve all the respect possible.
@Kimball231 so did i but it was aitken 1 instead of signature
what song ?
I give you all the respect in the world. Mike you are the most inspirational ride to ever live hope you do well in bmx career again!
9 people have no feelings, Mike i give you all respect in the world well done mate.
how did this happen?
I think we must thank the doctors, nurses, paramedics, physios, surgeons. And I haven’t seen anyone in the comments page mention this. Without them Mike would be completely screwed, I myself am thankful of the world we live which can bring people back to life, and he’s riding just as good as he always did.
can someone tell me exactly what happened i haven’t been on the scene too long
9 people are completely hartless and clicked the “im a douche” button
God bless Mike Aitken
He does way to many turn downs needs to switch it up
Two Years After This All Happened I Still Remeber And Cant Believe This Happened. Knowing Mike Before And After This Happened Is Great. Just Know Him, He Is A Very Strong Person. To See Him Over Come This Takes A Really Big And Loving Heart.
is that the bmx supercross track in the background? Nic long won that year if im not mistaken
If you continue to ride without a helmet after watching this, something is wrong with you. Mike aitken is the best rider in the world. Thank God he is back on the bike
Who noticed the guy at 2:28 peak his head out from behind the dirt jump lmao
fairplay to him back on his bike after all that
Let this be a lesson to all you kids that are too cool to wear a helmet! This guy revolutionized dirt jumping. If it happened to him, it can happen to you! Wear the damn helmets guys!!
my first bike was Aitken’s TRL2, and now i got the brand new Aitken 2, he’s one of my favorite riders, glad hes okay now
