For the very first time since his near death accident, we are hearing from Brett Banasiewicz in his own words.

Doctors told him it would take two years for a full recovery but Brett says that's not the case.

"I am showing the doctors how it is done.  I was walking at 3 months said my first words at three months and sure not going to take me two years to come back," said Banasiewicz in a statement.

"Please don't ask if I will ever ride again because I know if there is anyone who can do this it will be me. I just can't say when that will happen but i am telling you it will."

Brett was injured in a nasty fall during a BMX competition in August. He suffered bleeding to the brain and says he even died on the way to the hospital.
