How did you damage your knee(s) that required replacement? And, at what age?

I was doing Motocross when I was 17. Was power sliding & throwing up an awesome rooster tail. Doing so in low gear the rpm's were maxed out, it was going good, so I clicked into second gear & the bike was no longer sliding & it shot straight out from under me. Figured I'd just stand up and let it go. Except my toe cap on my boot hung under the foot peg. I don't know how that happened. The bike was completely off the ground when my right knee joint ended its forward motion. Hyperextended the joint as all of my ligaments stretched to their limits.

42 years later I am walking like a new man.

What's your story?
