Not many of you know me, but probably have seen me around diablo, my name is devin, i ride the blue plaid sunday. Last night, last chairlift, i was doing one last run. i decided to go over and hit dominion and such. i came flying into low breakout, too fast, went straight into a tree, stopped instanly knock the wind out of me really bad, broke my collarbone, bruised ribs, and im still waiting on the ct that says i have a fractured spine. i was supposed to be racing today but dont thnk that will happen anytime soon. too bad, i was killing it on that race course, im pretty confident i would have been on the podium for mens am. i might be back by sept-october, not really sure. ill be heavily medicated till then. see you in the future!

i want to thank Eric from diablo,the random who i managed to flag down who help get me help, the guy on the quad who works mountain creek lift service, and the emts. thanks a bunch for everyones help.

Didn't you have a long layoff last season because of an injury as well? Sucks to hear, dude, hope you get to ride again this season.

And yeah, it's always the last one. I got injured on my "last one" in early may. I think from now on my "last run" is always going to be like greenhorn to alpine or twist to alpine or something easy like that.

Sorry to hear that man, seems like the collarbone is (unfortunately) the popular injury of 2009. Don't think I ever talked to you, but always liked that plaid IH. Stay strong, come back fighting!

that really sucks. I'm not sure if it was you, but I did happen to see someone laid out under the lift during the last runs of the day and if it was you, then I'm sorry that you (or anyone for the matter) had to go through such a harsh crash. I wish you a full recovery and hope to see you back on your bike before the season ends.

i say we abolish the bad luck associated with taking that last run by simply calling it your second to last run.

i was planning on getting a leatte brace eventually, but know it has now become a priority item at this point. i kinda got a reality check with the spine injury. it scares the crap out of me to be honest. im tryin to do this stuff for as long as possible. i have to have royal hook me up with another jersey too, they cut the other one right off.

That sucks that you got hurt riding one of the least technically challenging trails at diablo. I'm kinda suprised because you were so confident about the podium and all. Hopefully your sponsors will understand and keep giving you cool stuff. Good luck hoomie!!

i didnt crash cause it was a hard trail, obviously, i just came into the trail way too fast, i guess at not the right angle
