Today at the speed ride, Hollywood hit a washout not far from camp going pretty quick and hit dead on with an OAK TREE! Yes that is right an OAK TREE! I talked to him on the phone and he said so far just a flat bumper and broken rezzie mount for his shock that he could see. He said he will live, but the pain is pretty sharp and his elbow is about the size of a softball!  :o He said he will be going for xrays as a precaution. Lets all please keep him in our thoughts and prayers and hope he is not injured badly!

Get Well Steve AKA HOLLYWOOD!  ;D :-*

Hey Hollywood!

How'd that G-Force hold up? LOL ;) I will be ordering one Friday ;D


Glad to hear you are feeling a little better from earlier. Keep us posted in the AM.

[smiley=Cry.gif] Sorry you had a rough day. Let me know if I can help at all.

Steve I'm so glad you are still with us...sounded like it was pretty bad.  You've got to stop the kamakazi stuff man.  Remember last time I rode w/ you I watched you ride upside down and down that hill at Ida's.  I hope you aren't hurt too bad and it ends up nothing serious.  On a good note.....the new work on the plastic remained in tact.  My thoughts are with you.

Get well soon bro. Ist at the Rodman ride the bike goes down, and now you go down, You need to keep all 4 wheels on the ground, JK  ;D get better so we can do the next speed ride, I know when I was looking at your injuries, I didn't think anything was broken, but I am no x-ray machine though, you need to go to the Dr to get the real pain Rx, than you want feel a thing.  ;D

Get well soon!!

Yea hollywood, keep us posted. Hope you feel better soon.

Just thought I'd tell you, we stayed till about 8:00pm and another guy showed up with his girl, had his quad out for a test ride after doing $1200 worth of hop ups. He took it down the power lines like a bat out of h@ll. On his way back he was riding a wheelie a little fast, hit a wash out and when the front came down the quad was facing to the left and rolled real bad. Slamed the guy to the ground, hit his head and he was shook up bad, bleeding from one of his eyes. I saw them on the way out at Buck & Does calling a ambulance, stoped to see if I could help, but his lady said help was on the way.

To think if he had his helmet on, he might not have been hurt so bad. That's right, he had no helmet on and riding very fast. Hope he makes it out ok. He was hurting and didn't know where he was, just pain.
My son saw it all and now knows why we wear our helmets.

so you hit a home run with that softball? :o haha j/k

Bro that is pretty nasty lookin! That bumper just makes it look scary man! And hahaha if zip ties and duct tape wont fix it nothin will. Love the new rezzy mount bro! lol. Like t2 said heal up soon man im ready to ride that beast but not kamakazi like Lauren said lol. Get better man and give me a call if you go get xrays or what not.

Hope  ya  get  to  feelin  better  man !  Ive  only  seen  you  ride  once  but  it  was  wide  open ! :o  Bike  looks  like  it  might  make  it  though ! ;)  Good  luck !! ;D ;D

Hollywood, I gave some thought to you getting xrays.  I'm not sure what kind of insurance you have or what your deductables are.  You can most likely save yourself some money on xrays by going to a chiropractors office and not the hospital.  Also, you won't wait for hours at a chiro office.  Let me know if you need help finding someone up there.  Only down side is you'll have to wait till Monday for the films.

hollywood, my friend we pray that you are ok and you need to chill for a while so you will still be able to walk when we go to the nationals ;) you lookin sexy in that pic :o

get well soon bro and I 2nd dreth your looken sexy in that photo (HAHA) but that elbo looks nasty.

Hollywood, Man Just because becasue we cannot ride Jasper this year does not mean You need to go bust up your quad like that. Although you and Chuck seem to know how to keep four wheel in the air more than on the ground. HEHE Get well soon man and if you need anything but money to repair your body let us know. If you need money to repair the quad, well thats another story. HEHE We may can come up with some fundraiser to have the quad fixed. HEHE

Thanks again everyone for all the support. Still feeling a little beat up but pretty good. Still haven't had any X-rays but going to get some in the morning since my arm is still pretty swollen.  :-/ As long as all goes well with that then who's ready to ride this weekend?!?!?! lol j/k may take a week or 2 off after this one.

Hey Dreth I think everyone there that saw it can vouch that I am Deffinately Proof that God saves!

About the guy that didn't have his helmet on when he crashed I sure wish him the best and hope he learned a good lesson. I know had I not had mine on I would most surely not be here now since my head was the 1st thing to hit. I don't think anyone got a pic of it but a couple feet above the mark where my bumper hit on the tree was another place with all the bark missing where my helmet hit!  :o I also have a nice bruise on my forehead from that.

blindkaeta thought you were gonna be dead so your right when you say that! you deserve a long sleeve copy of the shirt for that  ;D your a big guy so ill get you a xl ;)

Here's that impact photo  :o

Well doc says nothings broke and the swelling will go away in a few days but I do have possible nerve damage to my left hip area so if the numbness/burning doesn't go away in a week or 2 then I will have to go see a specialist for that. We are hoping it is just from the swelling/muscle trauma to that area and as it goes away so will the pain. The quad will live again also just got to get a new bumper, rear wheel and air shroud.  ;D

Glad to hear you're relatively ok.  I had a similar prob w/ nerve damage in my hip 10 yrs ago in a quad accident.  Took mine a year or so before it came back.  It's still a little over sensitive to some things.

that is great to hear about no broken bones, but the nerve damage isnt too good. Glad to hear your ok man! What kinda bumper? What about Air shrouds? hehe i say the PRM SUMMIT for you! ( I love that bumper, thats what i want one of these days) it looks built like an oxe and sturdy as all hell and thats what you need!

Steve,  I'm supposed to be the one that hits the trees, not you  ;D j/k.  Sure hope that swelling goes down real soon.  What a string of bad luck with the bike you have had.  Good to hear you are not seriously injured. "Protected by God" sure rings true for you buddy.  Get well soon,  --Steve

Don't know exactly what's going to happen yet Curtis pm or call me and I'll give you more details.  ;)

Steve- I know it man it's been one thing after another and something has to give. But there have been some good things going on behind the scenes. no worries though it'll all work out in the wash!  ;D

Just figured I'd update to let everyone know how things are. Quad is back together and ready to go. Going into week 3 since the crash I am feeling a lot better but still not 100% muscles in my arm are still pretty weak and my left wrist is still kinda tender but they seem to be healing. Same with the hip it is still bugging me and there is a 1"x3" hard knot in my left side where the bruise was apparently from blood coagulating(sp?) in the muscle but doc says it should go away in time. Should be back up and riding this weekend but nothing hardcore for a while just going to ease back into it.  ;D I am deffinately ready in my mind though it is bugging the heck out of me not being able to ride. Plus I've put on about 10 pounds from sitting on my butt healing instead of out doing things. lol

Glad to hear it Steve.

dude, sounds like me,,,,the bruise is almost gone but there's a hard knot under the skin about the same size that doesn't hurt, but bothers me a bit that it's there.

I'm riding this weekend for sure.

Id@

Steve, glad to hear your doing better.  I'll look forward to the next group ride.  When are you getting you're ute?

Thanks. Just as soon as I can get some details worked out. Hopefully within the next month.  ;D
