    Episode 86 - 2024 Downhill Team Changes // Who you should look out for?

    After seeing the positive response from the last mtb-related video I put out I thought I would get back into the swing of things and start putting out more content around all things mountain bike in the hope of sharing some of my knowledge and understanding of the sport and industry.
    Would love to know what you think of these reviews, also what you would like me to talk about and touch on?

    Episode 84 - Josh Wood // Journey from Injury to Inspiration, Healing and Helping,Turning Pain into Purpose

    Episode 84 - Josh Wood // Journey from Injury to Inspiration, Healing and Helping,Turning Pain into Purpose

    Discover the incredible resilience of Josh Woods in this profound video, where he candidly shares his journey of recovering from a spinal cord injury that seemed insurmountable. Josh's ordeal began with a catastrophic accident that resulted in breaking his C5, C6, C7, and T1 vertebrae. The severity of the injury was most acute at C7, which suffered a crush fracture, leading to his spinal cord being not severed but crushed, kinked, and stretched. The impact also left him with a small hole in his lower back and elbow, marking the physical scars of his harrowing experience.

    In the weeks following his injury, Josh faced an excruciating level of pain, embarking on a challenging journey to manage this pain without relying on painkillers. He worked closely with his chiropractor, who meticulously tested his sensory abilities across his body, inch by inch, in a painstaking effort to reclaim his mobility and sensation.

    Josh also delves into the long-term consequences of his spinal injury, including sleep disturbances and difficulties with temperature regulation, shedding light on the complexities of spinal recovery. However, amidst these challenges, he found a powerful source of healing and motivation in his son, AJ. AJ's arrival has been a cornerstone in Josh's recovery, providing not only joy but also a profound reason to push through the toughest days.

    But Josh's story transcends his personal battles. He has transformed his experience into a mission to support others, becoming a motivational speaker who offers guidance, hope, and inspiration to those navigating their own difficult journeys. Through his talks, Josh shares the lessons he's learned about resilience, the importance of support, and the strength to overcome.

    This video is more than a recount of a spinal cord injury; it's a narrative of determination, the love that heals, and the power of turning adversity into advocacy. Josh Woods invites you on a journey of pain, recovery, and hope, making his story a must-watch for anyone seeking light in dark times.
