Jimmy Fitzpatrick has been doing some serious training for this years X Games 16. Over the last couple months his focus, dedication and mindset has been targeted on landing not only the front flip, but a front flip combo for the Best Trick Gold Medal. During some morning riding Monday at the Metal Mulisha Compound, it was just another day of riding for Fitz except this time he walked away with a unfortunate broken wrist. Check out the video update of Jimmy and the inside on how it all went down.

Jimmy–been trying to follow you for a few years now. Heard about you from Michael Hilde a couple years back. So sorry about your wrist–I’ll be looking out for you next year!
Everybody knows that being a professional FMX motorcycle rider is incredibly dangerous. I know braking your wrist right before X Games seems like a HUGE disappointment for RIGHT NOW, BUT in the BIG picture, its just an event that will go on your timeline. Like I said, everything happens for a reason, sometimes you don’t see it right now, but later down the line you will. Always, remember your health and YOUR LIFE is the MOST IMPORTANT, do not forget it! We will always support you, especially in this little bump in the road of life….you have a whole life ahead of you! Love you, Your Sister
