Thanks goes out to Nick from Provalve for running across the track to check me out after my crash. It's been 4 years since I've wadded. Guess I was due. Lately my fused right wrist has been getting me into trouble.My hand came off the grip again(like last week but I saved it) coming down the big downhill. I swapped and went over the bars. Landed on my back and rolled and came to a standing position. Lost my breath for a lap but got back on the bike and completed 4 laps......then needed help to load my bike. My Leatt dug into the dirt in the back and pushed the lower strut into my scapula. Just got back from the Doc. Nothing broken. Fluid around lung. Right scapula and ribs have soft tissue damage and swelling.Huge hematoma on my elbow/forearm the size of a dollar bill and 2 inches high. No big deal.Have to take it easy for a while. Might do some acupuncture and massage. Be good as new in no time. Thanks to the flagger who helped me,Nick for coming to check me out. Rev. Paul Crouch Jr.,Willie Amaradio, and Pasha Afshar for loading my truck up and sending me home. I'll be back........though it's funny. As I'm hitting and rolling on the ground I'm thinking @100 mph. My twin boys came to mind,I'm thinking I'm separating my shoulder and/or breaking my collar bone, and I'm out of Stunt work and Acting for an extended period of time. (all in a millisecond). Thankful that all is much better than expected as it could/should have been much worse!I had already purchased 2 tickets for the SX for me and my Jamaican buddy Levi but they were at will call at Dodger Stadium. Couldn't back out. Levi drove. I took a vicodin,a corona light, and a shot of cuervo and off we went to see a great SX race. Glad I rallied.
And congratulations on the worlds longest sentence, helluva accomplishment!
Great story of guys that love moto!

I've always liked REM, the small atmosphere, and the concern for safety there.
1) Sorry you bailed and glad it wasn't worse.
2) Be drinking water even if you aren't thirsty given the meds you're on.
