I think you may have jinxed him. He was killing it but crashed hard In his 2nd run and got carted off in an ambulance. Bummer because He's SO fast. Healing vibes man.
Any updates on Mitch? What happened and what's broken if anything?
Healing vibes Mitch!

Didn't get airlifted. I ended up going down probably 20 minutes after that kid. Last I knew, I was in the pits waiting in a truck to get taken to the hospital when the paramedics rushed us to move since they had gotten that kid down and deemed him as critical. Hope whoever he is, he made it out ok!

Ended up leaving the Umass Worcester ER around 4am this morning. The ortho surgeon opted not for surgery (although it's still a possibility). They ended up giving me some super trippy drugs for the reduction that I did not respond well to. Apparently i was speaking in tongues, needed restraint and was doing things that these doctors only ever read about in text books :shocked: . It was a pretty long night, and I'm hopeful that I'll get through this without requiring surgery.

I'd just like to thank any of the riders or crew that helped me while I was down yesterday. Thank you :thumb:
Heal up dude. Your car (after it ran out of gas 2 minutes after we got in it), bike and all your stuff is at my house. I think we can save your front wheel :thumb:

Ok...

Way to go Needles!!

Jill is getting up to WC speed pretty damn quickly...

What happened to Sam?

Somebody get Richie Rude to the WCs!!! Who is this kid??
Agree about Jill, was wondering how long it would take and if she had the DH skills, guess now we know.

Richie is too young, I think he has to wait 2 more years for the WC scene. Kid is scary fast and is also a great kid.

Not to sidebar off of how ****ty this is but at a shop here in Phoenix, there's an argument that 29ers are the future. This pictures proves otherwise.

Is he younger than Brosnan? Somebody posted Richie at 15 years old?

Regardless, well done kid! East coast pumping out the young killers right now...
