Every case is different. When it comes to SCI injuries it's complicated. With an incomplete SCI injury you can have feeling below the injury level, but it doesn't mean that you'll regain any mobility.

That said, people with incomplete injuries stand a better chance at getting some or all of their mobility compared to people with complete SCI injuries.

Still absolutely sucks!

Scott Oltman was entered in Pasha 125cc 50+ Pro class...went 20-DNF. It's in the Sunday results from GH that weekend. If you check the AMA rankings on results.americanmotorcyclist.com, you'll find him listed as a A level Offroad rider, and C in MX. I'll reserve judgement as well. I hope he recovers quickly and completely

Wow such horrible news definitely sending good juju his way. So many people are so quick to rush judgment without knowing any fax. I would imagine Mike to not see the rider ahead of him like that why would he put his own self in danger. Also we don’t know if the rider who got hit Why he was going slow. Did he have been tired? Did he crash somewhere else before and get her and was riding back to the pits? Was he having a bite issue? This could have been any ride or even in the same class as Mike if he had any of the issues above.

But I will agree that I don’t think it’s the best idea to run a 450 pro class with a 50+125 class. What even is worse is that where the hell were the flaggers? That could’ve been even worse if one of these guys who came feet away from the down riders hit them.

I have been checking this post just to monitor how the downed rider was doing…. This is unbelievably tragic and should have never happened. I don’t know Scott personally but sending positive thoughts his way for a full recovery…

Shittiest news in a long time. Hoping for a full recovery.

I know Jeff is here sometimes.

If he read this, please ask Mike to call every pros he knows for the gofundme ; it sucks and it can happen to any pro riders so hopefully he can convince them to give a shirt or something for an auction that will go to the injured rider. On this kind of things he can't go MIA. It happens, it sucks, but if he is too impacted, try to help your brother to help another moto brother. Thanks

I’ve sent him a few messages, not because of the situation but because I went threw his injury. I even sent him my experience and the video of the crash. I pray he gets all his motor functions back and told him to talk to me when he can.

I just got an email from gofundme, showing Scott in PT, moving both his arms and left leg. A long road, but awesome nonetheless.

Mike was clear on the right of the track when he landed on the previous jump. Slower rider was middle-left…mike jumped from right to left on a blind jump…stupid decision when you know there are lappers everywhere…now a man is paralyzed. Completely avoidable from a track organizer standpoint and a ‘pro’ rider standpoint.

You actually make my point for me.
This situation totally sucks.
We're praying for Scott.
But a slower rider should always hold his (or her) line. Mike was drifting wide to the left, the rider was in the middle of the face.
Then moved to the left (to get out of the way?), that's the problem. If a faster rider is coming just hold your line. Don't move left, don't move right. Just hold your line and the faster rider will get by.

The reports I've read so far were that he was taking the pre-determined exit point off the track and used the time-tested hand-over head signal we all use to indicate getting off the track. I don't think that Scott is to blame for anything here.
