Any word on how Kim is doing?

Kim (aka - fuzzycatnuts) is in relatively good shape and at home. Sounds like he's off the bike for at least a month, but will surely be back nonetheless. No broken bones, which is amazing considering what I heard from eyewitnesses. He definitely "took one for the team" Monday night. He's more worried about the jump he binned it on and whether or not it was messed up/is safe. That tells me he's at least coherent.

Healing vibes, Kim! Rest up and let me know if you want to borrow any DVDs, etc.

thanks everyone. I am in a neck brase for 2 weeks and my back hurts badly but I am ok. It could have been way worse, I had bleeding in my brain that turned out to be very small and I did not need surgery. Not sure what happend I kinda blacked out for ahwhile and it took me awhile to understand what had happend. Still not sure what I did wrong, I hit that jump 100's of times. I guess the odds caught up with me on this one. Always were your helmit kids!

Damn Kim I heard about this last night, Glad you are ok! It could have been worse and could be longer off the bike, glad to hear its not. A month is not that long! But what are the trails going to do without you? :D If you need a meal cooked I would be happy to... Come over and eat something you made and give a hard time about gimpyness haha (sidenote for newbies, Kim is an amazing builder and Chef, And when I had my leg blown out for 5-10 months I got lots of gimpy jokes, its all in good fun kids)

Kim, Do you want me to pass the hat and get a fund for your kneck brace and body armour? Heal well, don't rush it mang we wanna see you heal right.

Whoa, that sounds really nasty Kim. Didn't realize it was that bad of a crash. For those of us that spend a lot of time in the air you never know when some random weird kick off a jump,or an obstacle, will send you down. It happens to everyone at some point. Glad you are ok. I guess you will be at Duthie with a chalkboard and pointer stick to keep progress on the DWB line going for awhile. ;) Heal up.

I was pushing back up to the top when he crashed. He threw a big 'ole styley table over jump #2 and came off the rainbow bridge jump way high and off kilter. Came down basically going over the bars mid-flight.

There was a guy there shooting photos of people on K-Line with 2 tripod slave flashes, he was the one that called 911. He didn't seem to know Kim, but if anyone knows him, he may be able to provide a photo play-by-play for real in-depth analysis ;)

I was very impressed with how fast the EMTs got there. It was pretty interesting watching their expressions as they took the scene in. Kinda like "WTF kind of death trap have they built under here??!!!"

Glad he made it through with only minor issues. When I saw how hard he went down and how "lights out" he was, I thought things coulda been much worse in the spinal and brain bleed department.

Just another reminder to make sure you're not riding there alone. You never know when you might need a prompt 911 call made for you. I've been guilty of that in the past, and after the other night, I know I wouldn't want to lay there KO'ed waiting for the bums to empty my pockets and do god-knows-what to my carcass....
