That has to be the ugliest clothing anybody ever wore outside the circus ring.

I actually didn't crash. I was ridin with Kenny Bartram on his moto track and there was a jump nobody had done yet so I went at it. The landing was just not made to be a landing and it was super steep. I overjumped it just a little bit and stuck in the clay. The frame made a huge hole in the ground when I came down. I hit so hard! My hands blew off the bars and knees buckled so my butt hit the seat so hard that it broke my pelvis and my t-11 in my back. I rode out of it somehow and kinda rolled up a hill and fell over. I had surgery a couple days later and my first ever real stay in the hospital for a week. That was a month ago yesterday but I'm gettin around good! I've been trying to keep walking to a minimum but when I do walk, it's normal looking at least. haha! I'll be on the bike again in about 5 more months!

These are my X-Rays before surgery.... That bottom part is supposed to be together.



This is afterwards.. They put it back together kinda sideways... Now when I sit down my tailbone feels off to one side. haha

That looks painful for real man. I'm hoping you heal up though.
See you around.

Holy crap. That is sorta more bizarre than I had even heard.

You are going to have to get a special offset seat made! Get well and try not to go stir-crazy from being off a bike for five months.

I think I saw filmage of you testing the new YZ450 at Budds...looking good as usual. If you get a minute can you tell us how that new scoot was to ride?

Yep, that was me. I also got to ride for one of the Euro test guys after the two days I got on the bike. I had to wear all his gear that was way too small. 4 sizes too small in the pants, 3 sizes in the boots, 2 sizes in the helmet, 2 on the gloves, no knee brace sleeves, short socks and a jersey that looked more like a belly shirt. lol.. The video makes it look okay though.

The bike is actually really really good. You can read the full test I wrote up in the digital Amateur MX right here. And the article I wrote is complete truth. The bike is good.

And here is the link to the video on Euro day....

Nice! How did you like Budds? Wish I had known about the test days. I would have rented it right after for the nice/prepped conditions Smile

Budds Creek is so sick! Aside from all the rocks, it's probably my favorite track I've ever ridden. Washougal was an awesome one too and I can't forget a good prepped Cooperland. But Budds Creek is awesome!
