The song of the day is Waiting All Night by English drum and bass quartet Rudimental featuring English singer-songwriter Ella Eyre (Ella McMahon). The music video is the true life-story of BMX champion and actor Kurt Yaeger, who became an amputee after a motorcycle accident in 2006. While attending school in San Francisco (his home town) a car ran him off the road. He hit a pole and went over a 40-foot embankment and landed beside a freeway. From Wikipedia:
“His left leg was amputated, his right anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament were torn, his pelvis was torn in half along with his bladder, seven vertebra were broken, his lungs collapsed, multiple ribs were broken, and he suffered a severe concussion. One year later, Yaeger made a full recovery, returning to his acting career.”
The other cyclists in the music video are professional BMX’ers and friends of Yaeger.
