    He will elaborate more tomorrow- Hopefully after getting some rest. But for now please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He’s pretty banged up after a crash and helicopter ride...

    Rock-It, Megatower, 4 ribs, scapula and clavicle. :thumbsdown:

    He did mention that he's having a "Voodoo Tom Yeti" relationship with the new Megatower. Two hard crashes in a short time- maybe as if the bike gods are angry (my phrasing at the end).

    The trail that got him yesterday is Rock-It. He's probably ridden it 500 times, and knows every single bump. :(

    At least he wasn’t out solo.

    injuries are never convenient or welcomed.

    I’m sure he’ll bounce back.

    Well Herzy, now you’ve gone and done it!
    Sorry to hear this, but am glad it wasn’t worse, no dirt nap and no punctured lung.
    You’re in for a rough road ahead, which you know already.
    You’re Mint Julep will be waiting patiently, I’m sure she’s pretty shook up as well.:(
    Prayers for a full and speedy recovery amigo;)

    Sh!t... healing vibes herz. I know the feeling of the megatower all too well. It's a bike that mocks any attempts at riding slowly and gloats you into making bad choices.
