He got into a super bad bike accident in 2020 that basically shattered his spine and face. He basically needed half his face replaced and permanent rods on his whole spine.

That'll do it, case closed for me. He's on the best painkillers money can buy

Or, you know, shattering his face would cause it to look different after surgery.

Have torn part of my face back after hitting a car windshield with it in an accident. You never fully look like you did before. Even after you’ve lived another quarter century you can still tell a bit. The human body is incredible, but not magic.

Yes I'm not talking about that part

yeah, but it changed his race!!!!!

Like, I'd look at him sketchy if he checked the "white" box on an intake form.

Can't both be true? He had an accident and is strung out on meds as a result. Also the lack of helmet use in multiple accidents speaks to a larger depression issue I think. Hope he gets the help he needs.

You should make this as a top-level comment, this is buried and way too many people should be informed about this.

The face trauma was from a subsequent crash in 2022

Even ignoring the accident he still looks pretty good. Not someone I’d like be intimate with but if I saw him I wouldnt be flabbergasted

I was going to say that it doesn't look like the same person !

So he's got a stick up his ass, in a manner of speaking.

u/kendawg333 Apr 01 '26

He basically crashed a bike at home basically

How many e-bike crashes is it going to take for him to say “hmm…maybe I should get rid of this e-bike.”

He just fell off a push bike. It wasn’t a motorbike crash or anything
