Anyone from up Bendigo (VIC) way would know Stu Timms, along with riders who shopped at Connections Bmx as Stu previously worked there up until recently when he moved over to Western Australia to live with Lindsay McMahon.
Last night Lindsay gave me the bad news that Stu has broken his neck (two vertebrae?s in his neck) and quite possibly won?t walk again. Lindz tells me he is keeping positive though and trying to plan for the future no matter what the outcome is.
It?s really shit house when a fellow rider gets taken down, I guess it just hits home a bit more how important it is to live life to the fullest while you have it, you never know when something terrible is going to happen like this.
I think the following out take from my conversation with Lindsay really shows how good of kid he really is.
Lindsay: ?we’ll all pitch in and start raising funds so you can get the best chair, care and quality of life possible bro?
Stu: ?Yeah but we gotta get Jamo some cash to get his knee reco done aswell, because Jamo needs to ride”
Stu was a solid supporter of Focalpoint, my deepest sympathy goes out to him, his family and his crew. Cooper
