Axell Hodges Injury Update

Slaw hates to come and ruin your Friday with injury news, but being the capital J journalist that I am, I need to update my loyal readers.

Multi-time X Games gold medalist and all around bad ass on a motorcycle, Axell Hodges, released an update this week that he recently sustained a broken right femur while riding in the sand dunes.

Below is his update:

“Last Wednesday was just one of those days. I crashed and broke my right femur while riding out in the sand dunes. I’m very thankful to have family and friends by my side while I was down. Also a special thank you to @tyler_ravelle for taking action and helping me out as well. He wasn’t even with us but he came right up, tied up my legs, got me on my back, and was constantly checking my pulse to make sure I wasn’t losing blood. This made me feel so much more at ease knowing that everything was all good while waiting for the helicopter. Surgery went good and I’m now back home resting up. This has been a difficult year, but I won’t let it break me. I’m gunna take this time to heal up and get my mind right. I can’t wait to come back and have some fun riding dirt bikes again.”
