  1. hey everybody,

    dan broke his right heel and his left ankle taking a bad uni fall last
    night.

    we have been out on the road for the last few weeks gathering some
    awesome footage for a new video. unfortunately dan is now unable to
    ride or film, so the video will be delayed for a bit now.

    hopefully dan will be back up and riding in a few months. just wanted
    to wish him a speedy recovery and let people know whats up.

  5. Owch! Both feet... hope he's not too bummed about it and gets better
    quick.

    Did you at least get it on film? 🙄

    Hopefully it was still a fun trip and you all had a good time.

    Can't wait to see the video.

  7. Ouch, Ouch, Ouch.

    I broke one heel on a bad uni fall and that was bad enough.

    Maybe Max can send the Fireball Wheel Chair.

    Get well soon. Enjoy the pain killers.

  8. Dam 🙁 I hope he recovers far. Whatever happens don't try to speed
    everything up just for a release date and not get good footage. I'd much
    rather you take your time and make a really awesome movie!

  13. There was a unicycle basketball game with the SemCycle team. Dan seemed
    to be walking and riding fine all the way through that. Something must
    have happened after we left.
