Pro BMX Rider is back after being off the bike for 5 months with a concussion!


I am posting this video for several reasons-
1.  With the right doctors, support and therapy at the right time, you can make a full recovery.
2.  With patience you can get back to doing what you love.
3.  We think Drew is pretty amazing, as a person and a pro BMX rider.
4.  This video has had 263,000 visits in 2 days!  That shows how good Drew is and how many people are glad to see that he is back!

Jake had the privilege of meeting Drew Bezanson, an amazing pro BMX rider from Nova Scotia last month.

However, they did not meet at a bike competition or a publicity event.  They met while they were both undergoing therapy for Post Concussion Syndrome at MMTR in Guelph.  (More on them later for sure, we have many things to thank them for!!!).  Actually, we have Drew to thank for the "hook up" to Terry Moore at MMTR.  Indirectly, the bike park that Drew rides at when he is in Toronto heard about Jake's concussion and contacted us to let us know that they had found this clinic that  treats PCS, and they were having Drew come out for treatment. 

Long story short, Jake ended up doing a few therapy sessions with Drew.  They stretched together and they talked BMX.  Well, Drew talked, Jake was on the quiet side, "he is a PRO rider mom, right beside me doing stretching, it was a little intimidating!!"
Drew had been off his bike for 5 months, resting before coming to Ontario. After doing a month of some pretty intense therapy at MMTR in Guelph he got back on his bike on Dec 1st.
And this is what he did!!!!  You would not think he was off for a day!
