Update on my race weekend:

Felt amazing on practice day clicked out 40 laps typically running with the pros it was surreal to be back where I was 9 years ago after my accident. Ended up hitting a jump I've never had the balls to hit. It's a 85 foot jump off a cliff with very little run up, named 'the intimidator' and it is very intimidating every time even tho you know you'll clear it because you hit it last lap. Got all my buddies to follow me up and we were ridding high that day.

I ran two classes which was the first for me in a while but my training was on point and felt comfortable doing so. Got second in the first moto uncontested. Second moto was open class and I ran with my buddy Chris on a banshee 3rd and fourth. Second lap Chris hits the intimidator infront of me and came off it sideways. Landed short and a bit off the track got shot off and took a hard hit, I lost a friend racing infront of me when I was younger and this was on par with that crash. Came back around and he was still out (4min lap time) finished in third and turned off right after to rip over to him. When I got there the emt was visually disturbed. When he came to he seized for a good 12 mins, in and out.. Gave him sternum rubs to get him breathing. He was having a very hard time breathing and I calmed and held him down as he was very violent. He was medflighted out and it was touch and go. Ended up breaking all his L vertibra, shattered a clavicle and scapula, punchered a lung, sever conclusion, and they had to operate to stop internal bleeding. He's ok now, being held for a week, he's in a world of pain from what I could tell. So I get to take care of his plants while he's stuck in the hospital.. Think I'm going to surprise him with a new tent and a revamp of his set up.


Either way finished 4th and 5th but that's a very thin silver lining on almost losing my friend out there today. Life is precious treat it as so, much love all I'm turning in see how these dreams go although I know it's going to be a constant replay of the crash
Fuck dude. Sorry that happened to your friend. That's really cool of you to hook him up with a new setup.

He's gonna be super happy/grateful.
