Horrible news on the MX front

[Randy]

I hear there is currently some paralysis, hopefully it is just temporary

That is too bad. I hope he has a full and quick recovery.

Ernesto has been a favorite rider of mine to watch for many seasons now. I sure hope he's ok. I broke my spine at 19 but was very very lucky to fully recover.

As an aside, I can't believe that more freestylers haven't been crippled up. It seems that more motocross/supercross racers have incurred serious injury (paralysis, death) than the freestyle crowd. Just doesn't make sense to me.

I think more of the racers incur injury due to the fact that they are not only subject to their own actions, but all the others out there too. Just too many of them stuffed into too small a space, all hauling arse.

I hope he recovers. It's a hard way to make a living. I couldn't do it.
