FMX Injury Updates: Greg Hartman, Nixey Danielson

FMX is a dangerous sport — no surprise there — and a couple of slams in the last month have left two riders in pretty serious condition.  Here’s a quick update on both.

Last month at the FMX demo at the Right Guard Open in Cleveland, Greg Hartman went down hard and there was a question as to how his recovery would go since he had a head injury.  Luckily, Hartman was sent home July 25th and is recovering at home.  He was in a coima for a short while but awoke on August 1st and has started communicating with fans and friends on the FreestyleMTX.com forums.  Apparently he can’t drive right now because of the injury, but he’s still looking forward to getting back on a bike soon.

Meanwhile at the X Games earlier this month Metal Mulisha rider Nixey Danielson had a massive slam that broke both his legs and sent him to the hospital.  He’s recovering pretty well and his MM buds even went out and got some video of him in the hospital.  Check that out along with footage from the crash below.  And keep listening for his roomie on the phone — that’s good stuff.
