I Hope all turns out good. Get well soon. Sat and Sun the dunes were hard packed. I wish I had my Nobbies instead of paddles. Once again, I hope you have a speedy recovery Richard our prays are with you.

 

Hi everyone. I wanted to post an update to Richards condition and some details.

He was running out at the drags and he was cut off by accident and was forced to turn sharp. He was thrown from the bike and went flying about 15-20 feet. He landed hard and was out for a few minutes.

They air lifted him to St Josephs in Phoenix, where we visited him today. He is definitely banged up pretty good, but miraculously nothing broken. He should be released by tomorrow to recover at home. He is on serious pain meds so he wasn’t talking when we were there.

But for all of you that know Richard, he is a tough guy and will surely bounce back soon! Are thoughts are with him and his family to get through this.

My email is skmclean@yahoo.com if you need any more info.

 

Thanks for the update. Its great to hear that nothing was broken.

Man that is good news, Thank God nothing was broke. This accident should remind us all to take extra caution when riding.

 

thanks for the update Stephanie!
Glad to hear nothing broken, he's gonna be sore for a good few days- the older we get the longer the heal time- could be be years for him![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Rodney and I just got back from the hospital. It's hard to see AZ like that. He's pretty beat up. About 10 stiches outside his left eye and the whole left side of his face is black and blue. His upper torso is very beat up too. He's having a hard time moving around but seems to be getting better. He still has his sense of humor.

His BIG monster DS is for sale as is his 440. He'll be cruising his new sand car for now.
