TREVOR BOLLINGER TALKS
ABOUT HIS KNEE INJURY
Rockstar Energy Husqvar-
na Team rider Trevor Bol-
linger injured his knee while
competing in the opening
round of the Kenda AMA
National Enduro Series in
South Carolina, suffering a
torn ACL and meniscus in his
left leg when he went down
in the third test. Depite the
injury, Bollinger soldiered on
to an amazing fifth overall
finish.
In a phone converstation
about two weeks after the
injury, Bollinger told us he
was going in for surgery the
following week.
Bollinger told us that this
will be the fourth time he’s
had this knee operated on, and the third operation to repair the ACL.
“I knew it was pretty bad when it happened,” said Bollinger. “It was a rear slick
section and I just caught a root and my foot was laready planted and when I
caught the root the bike slid out and my handlebar caught my leg and my knee
just buckled.”
Bollinger told us that at that time they were still weighing their options as far
as what kind of surgery he would be having.
“In all three of the ACL operations before they used a cadaver to repair it,” said
Bollinger..
Bollinger estimated he will be out of action from six to nine months.
