i hear he went in for a first surgery the day after the crash to get his back fused and his head worked on. sounds like he wont be going anywhere for at least a week. scary. i hope he heals up and everything is ok.

Only a week with 4 cracked vertabrea? doesn't sound as bad as Id expect, or do you mean a week in the hospital? Is he at the hospital in Mammoth, or did he come home yet?

I think he means that he won't be leaving the hospital in Cali for a week... Not sure though

Yeah, of the 6 of us that went out in the Big Crank truck, two of us came back relatively unharmed. Beyond MT's thing, Ziegman jacked his knee, Pete Hudson messed up his wrist and Doug E. wrecked his elbow.

Don't know if it was the gnar of the course or just end of the season worn out syndrome but it definitely took its toll on Colorad riders(minus our National Champ of course).
