Premium Product's Josh Harrington actually rode the Metro jam finals with a messed up knee. The victory released the pain for a bit but it came back unwanted. Here's the 411:
Josh Harrington: "I tore my pcl, strained my mcl, acl and something else I cant remember according to the MRI that I had to wait 8 days to get results on. I do not need surgery which makes me very happy. The doctor said I was super close to tearing more ligaments which would send me straight under a big knife! I got lucky. I had to get the fluid drained out and something else injected into my knee, I took a little [url=http://www.premiumbmx.com/images/news/joshmetroinjury.mpg]video[/url] and a photo. I will be good to ride in about a week. I have to go to the gym and work out my legs now."
Josh had to miss the UK tour and the Bike Show because of the injury but on a positive note, he got picked up by VANS. Get well soon Josh.
