Killian Auberson

Hate reading these announcements, but it hits harder when it happens to a local pro who you regularly see ripping at your local track. He crashed at a practice track outside Salt Lake and had to have surgery on his back after losing sensation in his legs.

Killian was cracking the top 10 in the west 250 mains this year.

Courage Killian!!

If you speak french, here’s the announcement on lebig.

Killian Auberson seriously injured
Posted by La Rédaction on Wednesday June 17, 2020 at 11:20


It’s something we’d gladly do without. Friendly Swiss driver Killian Auberson fell heavily while training on a Supercross track near Salt Lake City. Ranked on the West Coast of the SX US 250 with a top 10 at Anaheim 2 as the best result this season, Killian was preparing for the championship final when the accident happened. Evacuated by helicopter and immediately operated on for a vertebral fracture, Killian's injury is serious given the absence of sensation in his legs when he arrived at the hospital. Already helped by Road 2 Recovery, we hope to have good news in the coming days, which will be decisive for the future. The whole editorial staff of LBU crosses their fingers very strongly. We think of him as well as his wife Morgane and his relatives. Courage.

By the editorial staff.

This is awful news and something I never want to hear happen to anyone. Killian has been killing it the past couple years making his way up in the US.

Best wishes to him and his family, I hope he has a full recovery!

His dad was mega fast and tried to make it as a pro before i first started back in 98. Without him there probably wouldn’t be a regional motocross championship is the French speaking part of Switzerland.....they do so much for building tracks and making events happen...coordinating with local farmers so we can use their land. Killian’s older bro Kevin is one of the nicest guys ull ever meet. Sucks to see the family hit with this...

News From Killian

The nursing staff authorized Morgana to see Killian. She was able to send him your many messages of support. He was not very talkative but he answered questions and listened a lot.

Killian had got into a 5 hours surgery to stabilize the affected vertebrae. The specialist does not exclude the chances that Killian's sensations returns. We will have to fight and the road ahead will be long but nothing is impossible with his will and perseverance.

The link too Road 2 Recovery will be online soon. From then on, you will be able to support Killian and Morgane with medical expenses. Killian, Morgane, family and loved ones appreciate all of your messages and positive vibes.


This is the link.

Is it me or are these serious injuries seemingly more frequent in recent years?

I don't think so. We just hear more about them now because social media plays a big part in putting the news out there.

When I got hurt there was 3 of us all within 2 months that suffered SCI from dirt bikes.

Yeah I guess that's true. Media coverage is sort of difficult to quantify but it stands to reason that information is more readily available now. We might not of heard stories like that of Blake Savage back in the 80s. And certainly we would not have heard about amateurs suffering such injuries.

But I wonder about the to level pros. I mean, even 40 years ago, there was plenty of print media where this sort of thing would have been reported. A hot foreign prospect making his debut on a respected and established team (Brian Moreau)...that would have been reported even in the 80s. Or Jessy Nelson...MXA would've covered that had it happened to a top racer like that back then. Jimmy Button. Ernesto. Pit Beirer. Joel Roelants, Seems like at the top professional level, 2000-2020 has been worse than 1980-2000. I don't know, I didn't run the numbers or anything.

I'm not disputing you MAVERICK, I'm just illustrating a perception which I find difficult to shake.

Either way my thoughts and prayers go out to Killian.

I can tell you first hand how much it sucks. My wreck happened on March 1st. Lost feeling legs down. Just the daily routine of using the restroom etc makes life much harder. But you push forward and refuse to look behind you.

With that said, I hope he gets mobility and sensation back. Hard work can pay off!

Man best of luck to that young man. I can't imagine what he is going through right now to try and do the most basic things.
