Langston Update

What a weird thing.

If this had happened to James...geez, he would be getting crucified.

I'm not sure. I'm guessing our plethora of in-house (i.e., on Motodrive) specialists are pretty much orthopedics and not optometrists or neurologists. Of course, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to prove me wrong.

So his brain is leaking into his eye socket?

Paging Dr. Howard...Dr. Fine...Dr. Howard!

Probably happened when he landed the triple without a shock. That'd make my eyes bug outta my head too.

When KW859 had his lasix surgery done to correct his vision they told him not to race for a month. He had it done Jan 30 of last yr and was back on the bike riding in 3wks then racing the first Mega series event the 1st weekend in March. It takes time for the eye to heal. Hopefully Grant will be back soon. Good Luck to him.

Man, that sucks for Langston.

Scary stuff messing around with your sight.

It's idiots like you that really make this place smell.....'

As was pointed out, Stewart won a Championship last year also.

Fuckwad.......

Maybe luck is available by allocation, and Grant used all his up in winning the MX championship. He sure doesn't seem to have gotten his share of luck for 08 yet.

Maybe he needs a rabbits foot, or a 4 leaf clover. Something....

nah just the 09 yz450f...

Hey Crackcrawler did you know that it just isnt that simple.......? The guy has been to UCLA and other specialists to find out whats wrong and potentially lose vision in his eye since no one knows whats wrong and whats causing the fluid on his eye. BTW his father lost one of his eyes years ago due to an absest so I dont think GL or his family are taking it lightly. Sorry to sound like a dick but at least show the guy a little respect especially what he is going through right now, racing is secondary at this point!

Howdy stranger

no worries and yes it is a serious ordeal and my prayers go out to GL8 as he is one of my favorite riders and i look for him to return and beat reedy in the near future... but this is a moto board and i guess i just dont take things as serious as you canuks do...

so thats the real sean hamblin?? awesome! i got dissed by a pro star! " title="Wink"> but seriously is that really sean?? i remember "el cobra" (not DV12) making fun of him in TWMX for his mxgear pose a couple a years ago...

Like I said not to sound like a dick but its just a little more serious than some may want to give credit for.......its not like an ankle, foot or hand. For sure a lot of stress goin on right now and like I said he has an appointment with a specialist tomorrow so we will soon find out whats up. BTW whats up guys and how the hell did all my previous posts get deleted? I feel like a newbie!! Anyway back home in Cali and enjoying every minute! So whose got some real dirt?

Sorry Sean, I hit the reset post count button by accident.

STFU Noob

As I am currently on the MX sidelines recovering from a torn retina and emergency laser eye surgery I've learned a lot about eyes and the fluids in them in the last few weeks. This is a very serious situation for Grant. In fact any major eye problems are deemed a medical emergency and require promt treatment to prevent them from getting worse which of course can lead to blindness. I wish him all the best.

Any updates?

Top fuel NHRA guys were going thru this a couple of years a go. Seems the accelaration / deccelaration was causing detached retinas with them.

well i guess it just seems as no one really let on how serious this issue is. even GL in his interview seemed like it was no big deal .. get a contact and be done with it... i guess he's got his game face on for his sponsors... well since you seem to know more about GL's condition more than anyone else, please keep us informed on his progress...N8

did I not saturate it in sarcasm enough for you?

Will Langston be signing autographs at SD on Saturday? My 9 year old really wants a picture with the champ, an autograph, and even has a gift for GL8. Kids are so creative and cute.
