He had one hell of a wreck, and then could not finish. I hope he is ok. Like the dude, it is good having him in there mixing it up, just sucks the way it went.

I think this is a pretty good example of the importance of physical strength in this sport. Tyler has always been one of the stronger guys and this crash could’ve been way worse if he wasn’t in the physical shape he is. Could you imagine Marvin or another physically slight rider crashing like this? Could’ve been way worse. Guys like peick, Bowers and mookie seem to make it out of some pretty vicious wrecks with a few bruises.

That said, wouldn’t be surprised to hear a fractured sacrum or lumbar vertebrae on this one.

But then again, bigger they are...the harder they hit the ground.

Posted the How Was Your Weekend video from TWMX in the other Bowers thread. Bit of a shiner but seemed to be in good spirits.

That was one of the sickest impacts I have ever seen. Seems like it could have been really bad. I can't imagine flying through the air that long and waiting for it. Gnarly.
