Swapmoto said he is conscious and aware, that's all I have seen.

That’s all I’ve been able to find too, hopefully more info is available soon and it’s not too serious.

@tevintapia update: good news. Tapia just called to fill us in. At the track, he was unable to feel his legs and we feared the worst. After being life flighted to the hospital and examined, Tevin regained feeling throughout his entire body but is having difficulty moving his left leg. He was diagnosed with broken C6 and C7 vertebrae in his neck, and doctors say he may have some permanent loss of strength in his leg. They are hopeful, however, that because he is young he will be able to rebuild strength in it. Tapia will undergo surgery to fuse the two vertebrae tomorrow. He is in good spirits and is thankful for all the well wishes. Stay strong, Tevin! We’re pulling for you. #swapmotolive #tapia211

Did not sound good from the posts but sounds like he is slowly getting some feeling and movement back in his legs which is huge! Sending all the love and prayers Tevin! You got this man!

Should be noted that the ebay auction benefiting Tevin is live. There’s a link on pulpmx.com. Riders like Zacho, Musquin, AC, Sexton, Craig and others have their used race gear available for a good cause.

So hard to watch.
It is hard to watch, but it looks like Tevin has a positive attitude. He is in my thought and prayers.

Damn , this rips my heart out , but also makes me pretty damn happy seeing him push himself like that. Been watching him ride since he was just a little kid. Keep fighting Tevin!! You got this!
