Good for Zach, he really re-invented himself. Can't discuss MX-gone-offroad without mentioning: Mike Keidrowski Ty Davis Fred Andrews Bobby Bonds Ricky Deitrich Kurt Caselli Guy Cooper? And probably many more! Keep em coming......
Alright this is lame. Zach broke his collarbone, adding to the huge list of riders injured before and especially during this Supercross season. Lame. RIDER INJURY Trey Canard...............Broken arm Davi Millsaps..............Knee injury Joey Savatgy..............Broken wrist,collapsed lung Justin Bogle................Broken vertebra Austin Howell.............Broken thumb, collapsed lung Marvin Musquin..........Knee injury (ACL) Casey Hinson.............Broken hand, facial fractures Blake Baggett.............Broken foot Broc Schmelyun.........Broken legs Ben Lamay.................Dislocated wrist, broken jaw Austin Politelli.............Broken femur Dillon Huddleston........Broken thumb Shane Sewell..............Broken foot Brett Hottel..................Broken femur Zach Bell.....................Broken collarbone Cody Gilmore..............Broken collarbone Les Smith....................Dislocated ribs Kevin Weisbruch.........Crushed trachea Ronnie Ray..................Broken leg Darryn Durham............Concussion Josh Hill.......................Broken collarbone Zach Osborne.............Broken collarbone A young man I am friends with and have watched come up from a young 80 rider to one of the fastest guys around here, crashed last night at the Milwaukee arenacross, broke his T4 and T5 with cord damage, and has no feeling below his waist. These injuries are weighing on me. Prayers to Matt Maier, please.
Sucks and crap like that hitting so close to home really drives in the reality of the sport of motorcycle riding. I hope that young man gets as well as possible and he finishes his life out in a matter that makes him happy. Miracles happen another one might just happen here. It is always a heartbreak for me when a young person experiences something like this... When its an older person, the pain is not so great for me but its still there. -- I wish Zach and all those on the list a speedy recover also.
A collarbone is usually an EZ and quick heal for the most part. He will be back strong someday soon I'm sure.
