Walden, NY (8/25/2010) - A few
weeks ago a local mini ATV rider was injured at
a race and needed to have surgery on his arm. He
was told he would be out 8 weeks or basically the
rest of the season. Seeing he has been riding since
he could practically walk this was certainly a blow
to his season.
If you race in or are familiar with NEATV-MX
then you may know of him. His
name is Wade Pollard. Wade was 2nd in point in
the 90 Auto class before
switching to a 90 mod. We here at GetDirtyMX.com
got to know the Pollards
and their two boys Dan and Wade through a mutual
friend; Ronnie Rich, who
also has two boys that race in NEATV. Both are
great people who go above
and
beyond to giving a helping hand to fellow riders
and parents on and off the
track.
We wanted to give something back to the Pollards,
so we contacted them to
find out who Wades favorite rider was to maybe
get a jersey or something
for
him to lift his spirits. In talking with his mother
Sherry she told us
Wade's
favorite rider was Jason Connell, also from NEATV
in the Pro class.

We went ahead and contacted Jason and asked if
he could sign a jersey and send it to Wade. He
obliged 100% and did just more than that. Not
only did Jason sign a jersey for Wade, he brought
it personally to his house!
Wade was very excited to meet his favorite rider
to say the least. After a
few hours of talking Jason and Wade and the whole
family headed down stairs
to do what else, but play MX vs. ATV Reflex together!
This will surely be a memory Wade and his family
will remember for a life
time. It's sometimes a rare occasion that a racer
gets to meet his favorite
rider, but on this day it was the most natural
thing on earth. We would
like
to thank Jason for his kindness and generosity
for doing this as we know he
has a busy race schedule. For a rider to take
the time out and do something
special like this it speaks loudly on what kind
of person Jason Connell
really is!
Thank you Jason and Get Well Soon Wade!
