Stirling Grassick Update
by cgroves
Posted: Nov 29, 2008
If you haven't heard of Stirling Grassick then you'd better wake up a little. He is a 16 year old shredder from Kelowna BC. Stirling and I have traveled around BC to many gatherings and competitions.
This was Stirling's first year excelling in competition riding and he placed very well at all the events he attended. Read on to learn more about what he's been up to.

Superman FTW
Stirling continued to ride very strongly up until this life changing event. On Halloween of this year Stirling and our friend Daniel Paul were enjoying a great night like everyone else. On their way home they were hit by a car. Now the girl that hit them was not intoxicated in any way, but she still managed to be an EPIC FAIL as a driver. She was following the road when it came to a corner and she lost control and went into the other lane, entering the bike lane and running into Stirling and Daniel.
Stirling suffered a broken femur and bad head injury, he is now recovering very well at home. He will be back riding his bike in 2009, as soon as his doctor approves that it is okay. Daniel suffered a concussion, a tweaked knee and ankle and was really scratched up. Daniel was back at school and continuing to complete his classes a week after the accident.
During Stirling's down time at home he has been working on a highlight video of himself from 2008, as well as continuing to make fun of me for being short. Stirling wants all his riding friends around BC to know that he is getting better and not to worry about him because he is an animal house!
Riding for Cyclepath Kelowna and Devinci Bicycles, ladies and gentlemen, Stirling Grassick:
Get better Stirling! We can't wait to see you up and riding again.

Geeee's that sounds mad. Get better stirling man. I just have to say this, your first promo video *kanye west stronger* as the soundtrack, really influenced me in riding, i just have gone out there and progressed, and for that i would like to say Thankyou.
i doubt that i'm the only one.
Cant wait to see you shred in 09.

I wasn't insulting him. I was complementing the fact that his tailwips are often. So please, before you make such stupid assumptions, try thinking.
The three 1 foot table at the ranch step up looked very smooth and dialed, it looked like a Mike aitken 3 1f table. Nice job!

yeah dude, you don't understand the stuff I have been through lately. First of all the paramedics said that they don't know how I'm still alive. Now if I get another concussion I could end up with some disability, so riding is going to be dangerous. I have to sit in bed all days for atleast 3 months and can't ride for a long time. I might have to do grade 11 again because of the school I am going to miss. I do have a sense of humor but making fun of my situation right now is not something I find funny. I would never wish it on you, but if you even end up like me right now you will understand what I'm saying.
and this is why pinkbike gets hella lame sometimes.... stirling please don't let this crap get you down, you know we all support you
Starfox....everyone at MTBco is thinking of you kid, take it easy, and heal up. And you guys should delete this prick's lame ass comments. They're not worthy. Click the red "X" and this loser is off the radar.

Starfox that sucks!! I hope u get better soon, reading about this is actually comforting me and my appendicitis, i thought it was bad that i couldnt walk (my 2 lower abs are very weak right now and keep spazaming making walking very hard).
Its amazing all the stuff we take for granted, even coughing (which is extremely painful for me right now) is a big deal but you dont know it until u lost it...
