Unfortunately on Saturday the 29th of September Victorian Rider Christina Vithoulkas, 23 years old, crashed while jumping a freestyle ramp, Paramedics rushed Christina to the Royal Adelaide Hospital where it was discovered that she had severed her spinal cord, broken several vertebrae, lacerated her spleen and torn several ligaments in her neck.
Just recently Engaged to her partner James this has devastated them and their family. Her partners sister has setup a go fund me account to help them to make the next stages of their life a little easier.
I have supported her since she started riding and she doesn’t deserve this.
If anyone is interested I have attached the go fund me link to this and any well wishes or support I will forward to her to bring her spirits up in this tough time.

Things happen, the only constant in life is change, good or bad. The most important thing is to make every day count, because you aren't promised another moment. So make them all count no matter what the situation. Stay strong girl!
From a post on Instagram here's what she had to say.
"Christina’s words; Unfortunately things aren’t going too be the same for me anymore, I’m going too learn how too use a wheelchair & adapt too my new lifestyle. Thank you for all the positive support that you guys have given me through this time so far I love you all!!"
If she or anyone in her circle needs or wants to talk to someone (who's been there) chuck me a DM and I'll be happy to have a chat
Really sad to hear about her injury - not something anyone should ever have to go through.
I will keep everyone updated!
Chest down for life. Best wishes in recovery and adapting. Just so sad. makes my stomach and heart ache.
It never gets easier.
