If you have wondered why we haven’t seen a lot of footage of Mikey Babbel lately, then you probably didn’t know he’s been fighting some serious back issues. It turns out that he’s going to go in for surgery tomorrow to hopefully fix and repair what’s wrong, so he fired out one last BMX video before going under the knife. We’re sure this won’t be the last we see of Mikey, that’s for sure. Heal up soon, Mikey!

“Over the past 2 years Mikey has been battling major back issues. At one point it took him off his bike for over 6 months. Earlier this year Mikey was able to get back on his bike to put together a smashing edit together called “Kicking Off Summer”. Since then Mikey has been preparing for lumbar spinal fusion surgery.

For most people preparing for surgery would be taking it easy and wait for the day.. Not Mikey, he had to get one more edit out before his Sept 3 surgery date. Here’s Mikey’s “Get One More In” Edit. I think you’ll agree, he’s not holding anything back for this edit.” – Hoffman Bikes
