Wabasso, MN (6/21/2012) - Hello
everyone! Time sure is flying this year, and
unfortunately for me most has been spent from
the discomfort of the spectators section. It’s
been just over 4 months since my femur split
and a few of my vertebrae collapsed, but everyday
I’m seeing improvement and am getting
1 step closer to doing what I love once again.
Recovery has been normal I guess, feels very
slow for me but the doctor’s said the
longer I let this one heal the better off
I’ll be. That’s a hard pill to
swallow, my femur feels fully healed but the
paralysis in my oblique muscles won’t
allow me to get back in the gym and get my
body back in shape. There’s still a
chance that the nerve endings will grow back
and I’ll get feeling back in my left
side, so I’m not giving up hope just
yet.
Jon has been a man on a mission this year!
If you’ve ever met Jon and myself, you’ll
immediately see how much bigger he is than
me. For a big man of Jon’s stature to
be doing the tricks he’s doing now is
pretty damn incredible. Jon’s always
been known for just doing backflips, but now
he’s only 3-4 big tricks away from doing
the stuff that I do, AND doing holding 1 handed
back flips from take-off to landing! It’s
really fun to see him riding with intensity
again, and it’s nice that I’ll
have him to really push me back into the scary
stuff that we do on a daily basis. Kudos Jonboy!
Besides the recovery and utmost sadness of
watching everyone else ride, my wife and I
just moved into a new place in Elk River Minnesota!
I know everyone probably envies my life of
living out of a suitcase and people’s
couches, but it’s sooo nice to finally
have our own casa de Guetter to come home
to. Especially for my wife who made the move
from Australia last year, it’s been
long overdue that we finally take our stuff
out of boxes and display them in a home. So
if you’re ever in the area bring a bottle
of wine and I’ll cook up the meanest
mac n cheese you’ll ever have the pleasure
to bite your teeth into!
For all you lucky ducks in Minnesota, this
coming weekend (June 22-23) you can come see
Jon bust a few backflips at the debut of Terracross
at ERX in Elk River MN! If you can’t
make it, shame on you, but at least you can
catch it on CBS sports in the following months.
Be sure to follow us on Facebook, Facebook.com/Quadfreestyle
to find out where we’ll be next and
updates on my long road to recovery! Thanks
for everything guys, can’t wait to get
back on my Can-Am and shred!
PS My wife got called down on the Price Is
Right last month if you haven’t heard
or seen it on TV, how bizarre is that?! If
you’re ever in LA take my word and wait
6 hours in line to get in, it was soo much
fun!
