Pappy how is Cody?

[quadmonkey]

For those that don't know, Cody crashed hard in his youth race today at the Big Buck GNCC.

I didn't see it actually happen, but I was the first person there. He cracked his helmet, and busted his goggles, and chest protector. Cody did walk away, but it seems as though he took a really hard hit to the head and couldn't remember his B-day, so Pappy took him to the hospital to get him checked out. His nerf bar was bent backwards into the rear tire.

Anyway, I hope Cody is doing ok, and thank goodness he didn't break anything or wasn't unconcious (sp?) when I got there.

[MO-EX-RIDER]

i hope he is ok...i hate crashing because it always breaks the confidence + hurts most of the time

[MentalState]

whoa! I hope he is ok..Thoughts are with you bud...Heal up and givem hell...

[JOEX]

Oh, my:( Hope he's OK and ready to get back on...

[Yfz450dan]

I realy hope is will be OK:(

[Ralph]

I hope he is ok.

[Tom TRX250R]

I hope all is well for the little guy, it seems like he has really been progressing with his riding skills.

[Les Davis]

hope all is well Cody!!! Get well little man!

[Blue250X]

Get well soon bud:(

[Doober]

hope the best for cody,

[honda4life72]

sounds like a bad crash , hope he is alright :(

[Pappy]

thanks for the concern everyone!

Cody has a fractured right elbow and suffered a concussion. we just got him home (long drive...lol) and he is now soaking in the tub.

Not sure how he wrecked as no one saw it that has come forward, and he doesnt remember it


1 trashed chest protector

[KH426]

Pappy and Cody just left my house and Cody is pretty beat up. He broke his right elbow and is cut and brused up real good, and has a pretty good concussion. From the looks of his gear his quad ran him over, head first:eek: Quadmonkey thanks for helping Cody.

[Pappy]

helmet did its job but is now junk

those tire marks were not there before:p

[Pappy]

New goggles that USED to have a roll off system on them

I was going to say it looks like he got thrown over the bars and then ran over. My chest protector looked similar to that.

Glad to hear Cody will be okay in the end...broken elbow doesn't sound like fun...I am not sure I even know what that means. I will have to wait for my home nurse to wake up...it is after 8:30pm so she is a goner for the night. lol

/Jon

[wvspeedfreak]

Wow....looks like a nasty fall.Tell Cody we are thinking about him.

[Pappy]

ouch:(

[Pappy]

not pretty

[QuadJunkies]

So tell us what happened?!!
Im glad hes ok.
I too have broken my elbow. NO FUN.:(
Does he have to have surgery?

[Pappy]

he wrecked in a field section, WFO. pretty sure he caught a kicker and it sent him over the bars. from the looks of the quad it made it to the corner and wrapped itself around a pole

[Pappy]

thankfully no, he is already making plans fgor the next race...lol

just 45 minutes before he was ready to roll....lol

[QuadJunkies]

lol. Kids are so resiliant(sp?) :p

MY kid wrecked his BMX bike ramping it WITHOUT his helmet on yesterday...:grr:
He looks like someone beat the tar out of him as his head bounced off the concrete.:scary: and gave us all quite a scare.
I think he has learned his lesson on how important a helmet is now .:rolleyes:


Glad Codys OK. I hate to hear of the Wee ones getting hurt. Just think how we would feel if we could have wrecked like Cody did.:o :ermm:

[quads14589]

yep thats a broken elbow hopefully it heals up fast!

[AtvMxRider]

Thats probably a good thing

[dopeyferree]

Good luck Cody, heal up soon...

[Mxjunkie]

Good to hear he is allright! :macho

[STEVENJANNA]

Glad you're ok Cody. So I guess you'll be tearing it up at Breezewood by next weekend?:macho

[BlasterEaten250]

Hope he get's better soon:cool:

[insaneracin2003]

Sorry to hear about your mis-hap Code-man,Glad your gonna be ok , Take care and make Pappy fix your quad,PRONTO!!!! :blah:

it is a DRR 90cc

was strong running and decent handling stock mini...lol

he has run the last 3 nationals on a stock quad in the mod class, waiting for the race 90 to be built

[Admin]

Glad to see you made it home already, and you were looking great today before the wreck. I am really proud of how well you were running, and I am just glad that you are semi ok because it could have been much worse from the aftermath.

I cant thank you enough for your help and assistance. Big John was telling me how tough that kid must be for the wreck he had and I asked where his quad was John said that a site member had it....and I knew then it was safe. Nice feeling knowing there are folks that go out of their way for others, I and the family thank you !



Steve..Cody said he is game for BPG if you are:D

[JOEX]

Good to hear he's doing ok:)

[MX MaNiAc 06]

Hes didnt get a cast for breaking his elbow? Glad to hear ur doing well Cody.

[Pappy]

no hard cast, just some new fangled thing that goes on and off. he has to go see our regular doc next week for more xrays but the doc in SC was pretty confident he will require nothing more then some rest and healing time. it is not broke, just a fracture and a bummed out funny bone..lol

btw...in and out of the ER in an hour:eek2: around here that visit would have taken 6 hours atleast and then an immediate trip to a specialist:rolleyes:


Gallery1 (http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/thumbpage.aspx?e=2839413) here is some pics to waste your time:p

My buddy did almost the same thing a few days ago, just with a much less severe outcome on his body. Not pretty, though.

[insaneracin2003]

Pappy, are there any GNCC's in TX or OK. that you guys are attending?

[SGA]

Glad to hear Codys ok. Tell him I said hey. Getting kicked over the bars at high speed is no fun to begin with, but then getting ran over by your quad, well thats something to tell the friends about!

[dan harris]

Hey Cody,

Glad to hear your home and recovering. Looks like your were moving pretty good when you went down. Everybody at the park was pretty worried about ya after we got the call from Kevin yesterday.

Hope you have a speedy recovery !

......at least now you can tell your sponsor how the quad handles a high speed crash, now that there is some real testing for them.

Hope to see ya soon.

No problem at all! I'm glad I was able to help, and glad that Cody is doing good.

[RaptorRacer45]

Wrecks are never any fun, but just get your revenge and go win the next 1, Cody seems like a very determined rider so i dont think remounting on a Quad will be any trouble......Good luck in the future

when i first saw that pic i was like holy s^$t, i though his body did that i was scared...glad hes able to smile after that wreck, i saw two pretty nasty wrecks yestarday at mototown...once again, glad hes ok

[Pappy]

i dont know about the smiling part:p he did just walk over and checked out his mangled gear and said..."damn"


it really upset him that he couldnt remember anything, he thought he had brain damage:p he couldnt tell me his name or birthday and was in left field so i figured it was best to have him checked out. he really wasnt complaing about his arm until after they checked him out at the ER.

i cant say enough about using all the riding gear you can. the chest protector alone saved him and we will be looking at some additional gear that should offer some more lower back and side protection. im not real happy with the way the roll off's crushed back into his face(Chad Duvall told cody about Barry Hawk and roll offs and how he had to have a plate put in his face due to this same type of thing)

in any event, he will be back to throwing roost in no time. he cant wait to get his race 90 done so he can have better suspension as he feels that probably would have prevented this.

We'll see you there. JohnSLS, Motoscooter, and myself have planned a weekend trip out there next weekend. We'll be getting there Sat. am and staying till Sun. afternoon. We're going to be trying to dial in the new YFZ. Hope you can make it.

By the way, morning picture of Cody is FANTASTIC. I need a few of myself, so bring your camera:D

[Pappy]

thanks for the compliment. 2 people had stopped short seeing i was taking a picture and i heard them say i must be new because i was shooting into the sunrise...lol i chuckled and continued taking the pictures:D

as far as i know, we will be there next weekend so please dont hesitate to say hello!

[wvspeedfreak]

Kenny,how much actual damage is there to the quad?

[Pappy]

from whats viewable just the nerf and the frame/nerf mounts. its going to take some work to get the old mounts cut outm strengthen the frame and add new mounts etc.

its so nasty out and im beat so i havent even unloaded it yet:p

[Pappy]

btw jason, id like for you to take this quad home and strip it..ill fix the frame and then you can reassemble. id like austin to race it at a gncc in the 90 mod 8-10 class at atleast two rounds coming up.

[quadracer707]

Hey Pappy,

Think about getting a neck brace for cody. Wade wrecked pretty bad 2 weeks ago Missed shifted going over a double & came up a little short, over the handle bars he went. Now wade is 18 170lbs half decent shape & his yfz450 rolled over him. His body all twisted. he actually said he felt his head spring back to his butt & jerk foward. He swears if not for the neck brace he does not know what would have happened. He actually went numb for a couple of minutes. Neck brace & mouth piece to save your teeth, especiallly when mom invests over $5000 in your mouth. Hope all is well

Wades DAD Ken

[416exfreak]

Helments cracking are no fun....ive had that happen to me too. I woke up in a hospital room...had no ideo what happened. All I remember was coming up short on a jump....they said i went over the bars and got hit by a guy on a 450r. When they showed me my (brand new) TLD helment...i couldnt believe it, it was split straight down the middle, my chest protector (shift) was broken in several places....i had cracked ribs.

Tell Cody that pain is temporary, and that he'll get back healed up stronger than before! I hope he is alright and regains his memory, though not of the crash....I would hate remebering that.:(

[mitch91]

I rembre you boight him a bmx bike, any pics of him rideing it? Or the 85??

i figure i will have your pther parts dome this week so then would be more then fine. Its time Austin made himself a name and I think he will do more then excellent in the GNCC's! just tell him he needs to race for 1 hour:eek2: :D


a big thanks to every one who has replied here and those that have called.

[flht_db]

Pappy,

Tell Cody we said feel better. I asked my son if he saw what happened, he said everybody was already around Cody when he went by.

Dennis

[TheFontMaster]

Good to hear all is going well. But ya can't expect that he won't crash, with how much, and how fast he rides. It just happens sometimes. Shake it off, and get back on the quad!

[Pappy]

Originally posted by TheFontMaster

I am replying for Cody....(he cant type right now)



"It happens, and I am not petrified. I know that every time I ride I have a risk of crashing. Thanks for all your support everyone, it means alot. I am hoping that i feel well enough to perform at 110% at Lorettas but I will do my best regardless.

I am feeling better and ready to ride, but I hate when I am hurt and cant do anything. My headache only hurts now when I cough or sneeze, and my elbow is the most painfull. I feel like I was run over by a quad:) I will let you know that I am not fearless of wrecking, but it is part of what I do and I respect that

Cody

[jcv400ex]

Glad to see your okay Cody. Rubber side down! :D

10-4.Also,I believe I have an AC nerf bar here for it.

[armoks]

Glad you are O.K. Cody Get well soon!! I learned my lesson with a broken back for not wearing a chest protector, your's looked like it did it's job!!! I need to get up there riding with you guys!

[Pappy]

He is feeling pretty bummed, missing school today doesnt sit well with him:p

The brusing is pretty severe and his lower back and hip are more painful then his elbow at the moment but it will take a few days for things to start getting better

[ATV Chic]

Wow! Glad you're ok! Hope you're riding again real soon Cody! :macho

[dan harris]

Hey Cody,

Just Checking in to see how your doing. I imagine pretty sore. Hope to see you riding again soon.

[Honda TRX250ex]

Hope you feel better bud

[PHAT400]

Rub some dirt on it..... you'll be fine..


Now you can consider yourself a professional..

Get well..

[1FST/R]

I feel your pain Cody , I've been ran over, landed on and pined by quads back in my racing days. Get well soon Buddy

[Pappy]

Thanks again everyone, Cody walked by earlier this evening and I pulled this thread up for him and he read each reply and smiled.


Cody and I sat down this evening and ordered him a new helmet and a sixonesix suit for some added protection to some areas we are seeing that were not protected from just a chest protector.

Ive seen him battered and bruised before, I watched him ride for the fallout movie with a broken wrist and then follow dan around for 5 hours while he filmed all the while in pain. This wreck has him in alot of pain but we all know it could have been much worse, even tragic. We are thankful for another chance to better outfit him for the next one we are sure will eventually come.

[mxdad]

Glad to hear Cody is ok!!! Hope he heals up quickly!!!

[armysig]

The sign of a true racer. He's hurt and wants to get back on the quad.

Get well soon bud. You'll be racing in no time.

[Pappy]

thanks armysig....


he just opened a box that held his new shocks and we can begin assembling his new quad. hopefully that will take some stress off him:p

[armysig]

:eek2: Wow those look NICE!!!

Very nice Pappy.

Have fun wrenching you 2

[NPelletier]

those are outstanding dude...good luck guys and have fun working on that new quad..

[esr250r86]

Hope cody gets well soon Its no fun wrecking and having to stay out for a while. At least he was wearing all his safety equipment.

[Pappy]

We got his front lower arms and shocks on, and the swing arm and shock but cody was damn near in tears just handing me tools. i ran him back to the hospital to check his arm out again and thanikfully nothing bad to report.

doc did tell him that one more knock on the head and he should consider a year off:ermm: and that he doubts his elbow will heal enough by Lorettas to allow him to race. (that wil be 110% up to CJ as i trust him telling me if he is up to it or not)

either way we will be at the next round as i have to work it and hopefully he will be on the pegs as it were.

They always tell me to quit riding because of the multi-concussions I've suffered, but nothing will stop me. From hearing what Cody has to say and looking at pics of him riding, I'm sure he's the same way. Seems like a pretty tough kid with his head on strait!!! Keep up the good grades and hard riding, I really think with the great support from your family and your riding skills, you'll definatley go somewhere!!!!

I wish you well Cody and hope to see you up and rolling on your new machine soon!!!!

thats a stupid attitude to have. many football players have been permanately injured from multiple concussions.

if you get one, the last thing you need is another before the first one has completely healed. thats when permanent damage occurs.

[Pappy]

I finally took some pics of the quad. It has us rethinking how he wrecked.

[Pappy]

maybe quadmonkey can chime in on how the quad came to rest. i thought the damage was done by it hitting the pole in the corner, which would have explained no damage to the arms

[Pappy]

im wondering if there was a pole or something on the edge of the track that went unnoticed

[Pappy]

looks like he will be cheering on all his friends at lorettas:(

I have 6 concusion from playing soccer not to metion the times I have been knocked out wrecking my quad. And no it wasn't from hitting the ball with my head. I was a goalie been kicked in teh face twice and was flatten a few times. Its easier to get a concusion after the first one.

I had to stop playing soccer. truly it was getting dagruous. Somone just smacks the back of my head and it hurts now.
But I still ride. Doc said it wouldn't hurt me:confused: :huh ...OK DOC!:D


ANWAYS........that is some major damage.....hope to see some riding pics of you cody in the near. If ya break it then you gatta buy after market:devil:

thanks everyone else. today he actually has an elbow as the swelling has diminished alot over the past 24 hours. he is back to smiling and trying to tell me he will be ready for Lorettas..lol funny thing is he wont have a quad:p he will be sidelined but there for support for his friends.

hopefully his engine will be in late next week and then we can button up his quad about the same time he can ride again.

[Pappy]

will do joe!

[Pappy]

Cody went for his first ride since the wreck. he wanted to try out his new 661 suit and bell helmet

[Pappy]

he likes the suit, and looks forward to NOT trying it out:p

[tp300ex]

glad to see that he is back in gear and im loving the the old 250r

[insaneracin2003]

Awsome Code-Man,way to get back on the saddle....
should we call him " Sir-Code-Alot " with all the armor :macho I love the new set-up.

[armysig]

Cody can't have armor with out a good weapon!

All Hail Sir Cody!!!

[toady]

Wow that looked like quite the wreck!!!!!

How does he like the new armor??I have been looking into one but I was unsure of how constricting(sp?) they are.

and you guys are to much with the sword...lmao i asked cody to pull his arm up so i could show the forearm and elbow protection and did not see the pose he had struck...lol

[STEVENJANNA]

It's supposed to be the best protection from neck injuries for bike/atv racers and it's really starting to catch on.
http://www.leatt-brace.com/
It works like the HANs but in the reverse direction. It prevents your head from going to far forward, backward, left and right preventing neck injury.

[hondaracer31]

Pappy, I think Jon Kelly has one. He's going to be at BPG this weekend...

[quad2xtreme]

I did order the sport model but it hasn't arrived yet...

Geez, I paid $600. The Club model is $400 now. There is no strength difference...just a weight difference. I checked with them before ordering.

I ordered mine April 10th and received a note saying 6 weeks. I just called and they are expecting a big shipment in next week and will resume shipments. I don't mind waiting 6 weeks since they told me that upfront...I just hate when a company says 6 weeks but really mean 12. :grr:

Same here man. Ive been knocked out twice now, the 1st time wasnt so bad, the second time I was out for 20 minutes and lost 3 weeks of my memory and couldnt go back to school for another 2 weeks. 5 weeks behind is alot of work.

When a doctor says you should take time of to give your head a rest you should probably listen, I didnt when I was younger and now im a 16 year old who has sweet stuff all short term memory... My mates always have to remind me of things that have happened or things they have told me about that are coming up.... IT SUCKS... :mad:

Another mate who rides 2 wheelers had his helmet break completely of his head in a crash... He is fine now but that was the scariest news ive ever recieved through the school.

But on the other hand... Ive had a physio tell me I will never be able to walk up with a straight back again... That was not what I wanted to hear at the age of 14.... After 6 months of serious physio I stood up about as staright as its ever gona get and 9 months after the crash that stuffed my back I got back on the bike (as much as Mum didnt want me to) :macho
