Last night at the race in minden,la, me and my friend kenneth atkins were on the last moto of the night. I was in first and he was in 3rd behind another good friend of mine and on the last lap right before the finish kenneth tried a little too hard to pass the 2nd place guy and ramped onto his back tire. He flipped about 3 times and when he landed he crushed a vertibrate in his back. He's in the hospital right now. I havent got any updates on his condition but i did hear from a friend that he's ok and luckily he didnt get paralized. I hope he gets to race again because he's my rival and i'll give yall updates on his condition even though yall probly dont know him.

dudes i was at this race the other night and this pro was jumping over a rookie in 4 stroke and he ''the rookie'' didnt keep his line and went over but the pro was so good he changed positions in mid air and got away from him but in doing that he sacraficed himself and the quad fliped over on him bending him in half and breaking his back he was lieing there not moving i heard he will never walk again he was a vary good racer and i have much respect for him my thoughts go out to him and the guy that got hurt at the races you talk about

Yea well maybe he will get to walk again. The guy that wrecked is my good friend and luckily he didnt get paralyzed so he can race again in 4-5 months. Tell him i hope he gets better and that he can race again someday.
