And I couldn't be more excited! I found this forum about 2 years ago when I purchased my Specialized Hardrock 29er. I rode it until July of 2013 when I unfortunately crashed on a local trail. A buddy and I were riding a local trail within a local state park here in Alabama. I'm so thankful I wasn't alone too. After spending 8 hours in the trauma center at UAB Hospital and having rotator cuff and significant nerve damage repaired, I'm back and ready to try again! I sold my Hardrock after the accident and bought a Jackson fishing kayak which has been some amazing therapy for my shoulder. I decided it's time to get back on a bike, so I went the other day and bought a new 2015 Specialized Rockhopper Expert 29er! I can't be more happier with my selection! Anyways, I'm heading back out and praying for no major spills this time!
