A week ago I had a big one. I got out of control without warning and had a very scary crash that left me with numbness and lack of feeling in my feet while I was laying in disbelief. I was well taken care of in Michigan and was able to come home on Thursday. They had to make some extra room for my spinal cord by T12 and fused it from T11 to L1. I have full movement with feeling and will make a great recovery. At this point, I will have a long road ahead and will have a lot of decisions about what the future holds for me in the racing world. Thank you to my family, team, and anyone that provided help to get me to the ambulance last week.

He was kinda outta retirement, although I'd guess his new deal probably wasn't paying too much.

Hope he makes a full recovery.

He's been racing a lot of offroad.

Regardless, terrible to hear. Hopefully he has a speedy recovery. He has always been a great guy around here locally. And was always cool seeing him at the track here and there.

I'm glad he is ok for the most part as that was a nasty get off. Being born in Pennsylvania I always watched his career, I always wonder what could of been if he never sustained all those injuries, I always think of him and Canard that way. Heal up quick Broc

Don't know how is he as a person, but if he can explain to little kids all the basics and work with some of them even further. He could, would and should be "the wise guy" from Karate Kid... But again I don't know him as a person, so maybe he doesn't want to be trainer, maybe a adviser could be a nice role too. Telling people who hire him what they are doing wrong.

He’s a great person and awesome with kids. He was substitute teaching during his time off from racing. He’s had some really bad injuries over the years so let’s hope he’s gets through this and heals 100%.

Would be the coolest teacher ever!! I would t get shit done just grilling him about moto 24-7 lol
I can’t imagine how scary it would be to lay there and not be able to feel certain areas. Bummed for his injury but so glad it wasn’t worse! Heal up brother
