Looks like that battle between Webb and Bowers outdoors will have to wait until next year!

That's a bummer for him. Hope he heals up completely.

shame, Pro Circuit seem to be cursed these last few seasons.

At least Tonus can bring them the outdoors .

Too bad, was hoping to see what he could do outdoors but it's obvious how it his results declined when he looked so strong at the first few races.

Bowers out, AC back in (outdoors).

I wonder if we will hear any rumors about fill-in riders to replace bowers. On the pulpmx show they said something about Pourcel on a 450 for mitch.

He probably fucked it up as a result of all those "block passes"

Oh man, don't say that. I hope that isn't true.

Get well soon Tyler.

I hope the surgery works. He is way too young to spend the rest of his life with a back that does not work.

Just curious, because I have no idea - why would his injury be more career ending than Canard's?

That sucks. I'm hoping he can make a full recovery. I was too afraid of going the surgery route and decided to quit riding motocross due to the same problem.

Ouch, that is a bummer to hear. My hopes and prayers that it all goes over good so he can line up pumped to go in 2016. Bowers could definitely be a title threat down the road if all is well. On the bright side, we will see the long awaited return of AC!

Thoughts and prayers to Bowers but....I REALLY hope its a Crafty summer over at Mitches rig.

PLEASE, for the love of all things entertainment hire Chris Pourcel Mitch! I promise I will buy a PC T-shirt if you do.

He injured his back early in the off season last fall.

He quite riding for a month last fall to try and let it heal. Obviously it didn't work. His whole leg goes numb at times.

I have no idea what Canard injured, but perhaps he cracked the one or more vertebrae but didn't damage the discs between them. From what I understand, Bowers has a damaged disc or multiple discs and his leg goes numb as a result of the pressure on his spinal cord. From my understanding, cracked vertebrae can obviously heal just like any broken arm or leg bone, but disc damage is worse. Discs cannot be replaced, and most of the time the solution is removing the bad/herniated disc, and fusing the two vertebrae together. My wife had two herniated discs in her neck, and now has three vertebrae fused together and connected with a metal plate. You are not the same afterward.
