Overview

"Chad Reed's father looked down at the steel rod and shook his head. ""His leg was dangling like a piece of meat,"" Mark 'Chopper' Reed said. ""But there was no way they were putting that bloody thing in his knee."" Fearing the hard cold steel would end his seventeen-year-old son's dream of becoming a motocross world champion, Chopper told the doctor to take the piece of metal and shove it 'where the sun don't shine'. But the surgeon told Mark he could not take Chad out of the hospital unless he walked out. ""So I went down to the service station and got some gaffer tape,"" Mark said. ""Then I snapped a couple of branches from a tree and used them to brace his leg. We got some crutches, and guess what - he walked out. No painkillers or nothing."" This is the incredible story of Chad Reed, the part-Aboriginal kid from Kurri Kurri who would go on to conquer the world. This is the pain and triumph of Australia's most exciting motocross star. Reed tells all in his must-read autobiography."
