*****UPDATE**** He had surgery on his knee cap and ligament and good news is (hopefully) he will be on the slopes this winter riding the rail on his snowboard!!! I am SOOOO happy to hear you are doing as well as can be expected!!! WOW----what a night. Weather was precarious...but we trudged on!! Truck out of commission...but "R" definately made up with it with all his other toys (Beauteeus car, racing bike, snowboard----get the picture people this kid is made for SPEED!!) He was COOL...CALM...made eyes at his mom to make sure what was happening was okay for her (LOVE a senior who cares what his mom thinks!!!!) And then after the obligatory shots we were off to the race track.....LITERALLY!!!! He has one in his back yard...remember RACE BIKE------MADE FOR SPEED!!! So...all set up and one jump was not giving us the air we love to see when one jumps on a super duper powerful bike........SSSSOOOOOOOO He has this other jump...kinda hasn't jumped it alot.....kinda a dangerous jump because he needs to get enough air to make it to the next MOUND of dirt or it is "Crash & Burn" time. He does some dry runs; (you guys KNOW what I am leading up to dont you!!!) He finally is 'feeling' the NEED FOR SPEED & AIR....and BAM!!! Hits the jump and WAM face hits the handle bar and knees crash into it to...and he basically whips out big time right in front of the photographer. Okay...now most kids would be freaking, and basically crying their eyes out. Well, I found this is no ordinary kid...he wants his cell phone to: 1-take pic of battle wounds (his knee has major bone veiwing) 2-call his buddy to tell him about his BIG crash WELL---after loading him in his dad's truck they took him to the hospital and I have yet to find how he is doing........ BUT---I can show you some befores!!!!
