BRIAN BAUCHAM ON: His 2009 motorcycle accident: "I remember exactly what happened. As soon as I was off my bike (after his front tire was clipped by a car on the Harbor Freeway), I started rolling and just stopped by the wall. I got up, took my helmet off, looked down and my shoes were gone...I couldn't feel anything in my body. Everything was numb. That made me laugh a little bit. Then I looked up and somebody was talking to me. He had pulled over to help me out. Then I went to pick up my bike to see if everthing was all right with it. When I picked it up, everything started burning and all my feeling came back, so I dropped my bike...I looked down and my whole left side was just bloody...Now, I have the highest appreciation ever for life. Every time I'm arguing with somebody, I'm thinking life is too short to be mad at anybody. Just live life and be as happy as possible. Every day I try to check in with a smile and when I'm up or down, it's like I could be dead right now. It kind of keeps me going. Every day I wake up and thank God for bringing me in here and keeping me alive...I've been given a tremendous opportunity. To be able to come back and compete, to even think about starting or just playing, I've been blessed."
