Just found out that Kip suffered a stroke while still in Tennessee. I don't know the severity just yet. Kip and his family are pure moto through and through and really need the thoughts and prayers of the moto community at this difficult time.
The Shop
I was at the ranch with my brother, who stopped and asked a stranger if they wanted a lift from stage coach hill to the track, the guy jumped in. He asked my brothers name and said his was Kip, my brother asked.... like Kip Bigelow!?!?! They talked and made the connection of being from Michigan and he wished my brother luck.
Sucks to hear this. Get well soon.
Raced him and Kurt several times,he'd be the same age as me.
I think it was Kip that launched his bike 2 rows deep into the pits at monster mountain.
Overjumped the step up that had whoops after the landing,lost his hand and whiskeyed thru them till it tossed him off and the bike launched off that banked turn a good 40 feet sailing over the first row of vehicles.
If your from the Michigan area and Mention the Bigelow Family you think MX
Thoughts and Prayers to all
district 14 and he was untouchable. Frankly, I'm shocked to realize the guy's not super-human... Best wishes to Kip and the rest of the Bigelows. We need more like them in this sport.
Pit Row
What is the Jr MXoN experience like?
Kip is a great guy, and always very helpful around those qualifier times with detail questions.
Thanks for the updates, and we are hoping for a full recovery.
I had a close friend who had a deep stroke or something a little while back- he too made a good recovery and got sent home recently.
