A year on from his injury in Holland while riding for the Bike it MTX Kawasaki team Taylor Hammal has revealed the extent of his nightmare on a candid Social Media post where he spoke about his latest surgery and how tough his injury ordeal has been on him mentally.
Taylor is one of the nicest and most modest riders in the MX paddock and also a huge talent. We wish him a speedy recovery from his latest surgery, and we look forward to seeing him back on track soon.

“3 weeks ago unfortunately I had another surgery on my wrist to fix my ruptured tendon and to fix another tendon that was out of place and torn badly. This one has been my 4th one and preying this is the last. As it’s coming up to a year next week, looking back it’s completely torn me apart inside mentally not only from this but I’ve faced and delt with alot of adversity too. After getting the opportunity I’ve dreamed of being paid to ride my bike in grand prixs for a living and then for it to end up like this has made it that more harder to deal with. I put absolutely everything into the chance I was giving. I have questioned myself “why me”. It’s felt like it’s all come crashing down. I have been trying my best to overcome the mental health problems that’s come with this. Throughout the last year I have not once gave up and I’m still not. I’ve kept training and trying to ride, trying every solution to getting it fixed, laser surgery, hyperbaric chambers, cortisone injections, acupuncture, 8 screws and a plate, 2 infected scars, 3 hand specialists, 4 surgeries.
I know after this recent surgery all will be good and I can’t wait to get back riding. Motocross is my life and I’m desperate to get back to it.
Definitely looking forward to brighter days ahead to show everyone I’ve still got it 💪🏻
I can’t thank my family enough for sticking and supporting me through this as it’s been just as hard on them aswell 💙
Aswell my sponsors that have stuck with me throughout, appreciate
