Well looks like I will be side lined for a while after today. I crashed in the second timed practice in St. Louis and ended up with a fully torn ACL. At the time I didn't think anything was wrong It was just a little painful and uncomfortable so I raced that night and did my best. Noticed some swelling the next day so I decided to get it checked out and now we are here. Can't help but be a little bummed cause I just want to go racing but these things happen. Going to get this fixed up and come back stronger than ever. Thank you to everybody that supported me throughout my rookie Supercross season. I can get knocked down but I will always pick myself back up with help from my family, friends, and everybody who supports me.

Damn, that sucks but he showed everyone some real speed this year. Heal up quick, Colt!

BUMMER! He was building up some serious steam too! Hope he heals up quickly and picks right back up where he left off.

Real bummer. He's had good speed, and seemed like he was just a step away from maybe getting a podium. Hopefully he heals up 110%, and comes back even better next year.

Very sad to hear considering he's one of my favorite riders. ;(

Oklahoma has produced some of the fastest riders ever, and the most injured riders ever..........
