Spoke to Zegin today, if you don't know Erv had a stroke. Zegin said there has been no change but we are still keeping positive. He has been out of ICU for few days and in a standard room with hopes to get him to a rehab center this week. Winn and the family are so overwhelmed with all the well wishes sent. Again they ask to hold on with calls as they along with Erv are resting when they can. I am sure there will be another update real soon. Keep Erv and his Family in your prayers it means everything to them. He loves his extended family of our sport and it gives him strength to work through the obstacles he has ahead. Thank you all.

Those of you who know me know that I don't post on here very often these days, and most of us also know that the phrase "he's one of the good guys in our sport" gets over used far too often. Well, not only do I feel like this situation warrants a rare post from me (or a reply at least lol) but it also easily warrants the use of that phrase!

A lot of great things have been said on here recently about Erv (mostly in the other thread) and for good reason, I obviously concur with all of them! My personal experience with him dates back to right about when my post racing career started (roughly 2001) and I can tell you that he truly IS "one of the good guys" in our sport! He's as genuine as they come, has a huge heart, and truly cares about all of the riders, mechanics, team members, industry workers, etc And not just the top riders or who's "cool" at the moment; many in the industry have probably heard him as often as I have, going out of his way to hook up a privateer by reading deep into their sponsor list (often even pushing the limits of what he's allowed to do lol) We truly are one big family out there, and although I haven't been around much this season, I have no doubt that if, and God willing, WHEN Erv and I cross paths again at a race, we'll be right back to our old shtick: which was usually either finding the closest casino to the hotel (or underground poker club) or just playing heads up against each other in the lobby if all else fails lol Cool (full disclosure; its actually been a while since Erv and I have done either, but I'm hoping that will provide him a little laugh when/if someone reads this to him Wink )

Get well soon buddy! We need you back out there announcing where you belong!!! Everything just seems right in the world when you're at a SX race and hear Erv on the mic!

Prayers and much love from the Lindsey family!

Paul
