Proper True Yarn

Jack Jensen relives his brutal 2022 moto crash near Taupō - clipping a hidden pine at full speed, blowing his big toe off the bone, and enduring a 10-hour rescue through deep forest with no service, codeine, ketamine, a chopper evac and 50 strangers crowd-surfing him over a fence. He breaks down the surgeries, losing half a toe, wild leech therapy, Eastern medicine, wheelchair life, rehab, and the mindset that got him back on his feet. Proper chaos, proper resilience, proper true yarn.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
