Unit’s X Games FMX silver medallist, Levi Sherwood, is facing three months of PS3 time after breaking his femur and fracturing his wrist at the ASA FMX World Championships at Pomona, CA last Saturday.

The 18-year-old's crash has destroyed his hopes of beings a contender for the 2010 Red Bull X-Fighters crown, with the final round in Rome slated for October 1.

Levi’s manager, Russ Stratton, says doctors inserted a rod and two screws to repair the femur, but no surgery was required on the wrist. Within 48 hours he was out of bed and walking with the aid of a walker, and was discharged from hospital on this morning.

His doctor, Paul Reiman, relayed a positive prognosis and expects Levi will be back on a bike in three months’ time.

All the best for the recovery, cuz!
