Anyone have a video as well? All I heard was a crash in the whoops.

Hope he's alright!

It was on RDL. Looked like his arm was bothering him afterwards.

From the looks of it, they were handling his arm like he had a fracture of some type, but who knows…

sucks, just as CC was starting to gel on the bike…

Word is, from my buddy that is good friends with Mike Craig, dislocated hip and shoulder. Apparently Mike went to the hospital. Super bummed for Christian.

holy fuck, watch his right arm when it hits the whoop as he is falling. 100% for sure broken arm or dislocated elbow. That looked gruesome. Hate seeing that.

Arm looked tweaked in the slow mo. I hope he didn’t do hip too. Having personal experience with a posterior hip dislocation, that was not fun and probably the worst pain I have ever experienced. I was stuck in the fetal position and couldn’t/wouldn’t move my lower extremities at all.

You must be out in the parking lot. I’m here too and the track is perfect. No blue grove at all

On the TV broadcast graphic it said "out for season".  Blair said they were waiting for confirmation of the injury.

They updated on broadcast, might not be as serious as first report. Said nothing about hip

The way he recoiled as soon as he came to a stop is indicative of pain and not just a little. I hope he's okay.

Rockstar Husqvarna:

"Following a string of increasingly improved results aboard his FC 450 Rockstar Edition prior to Glendale, Christian Craig had his sights set on a top finish. Unfortunately, he was unable to compete after a crash during practice left him with a briefly dislocated hip and an elbow injury. He was transported to the local hospital for further evaluation."

“Briefly” doesn’t soften “dislocated hip” at all. Hope it’s not as bad as it sounds.

Yup, sticks his arm out at 1:07 and bends it unnaturally. That is definitely a season ender.

I know we jab at Craig for his "adversity" talk and vlogging, but it is sad seeing a wife and kid have to see their husband/dad mangled up in the hospital after a scary wreck.

I watched roto moto's video after CR22's big crashed, I looked at kiah in one of the pictures and instantly started crying. It broke my heart and this one did too. I follow both of the youtube channels and it breaks my heart seeing this. Especially after the season he had last year.

Seriously.  It looks like Jagger has on a Feld Credential, he may have even been at the race when it happened.

I've given Craig a little shit for the Vlog, kids social media etc. but he does seem like a good dude raising a good family.  Hoping for a full and speedy recovery.  Love him or hate him, he's dedicated his life to moto and the sport is better with him in it.
