That was quite some time ago. He is back and doing fine just like normal.

seperated sternum(sp?) i believe. and unless that race was a re-run, it happed recently. he finished like 16th i think.
One of those wrecks, the worst one, was
Josh Creamer. hes a local around here, i use to watch him race pro class on neatv. hes one of my favorites.

If your talking about the holeshot the other wreck besides the kawasakis was #727 Cale Downen.

yea natalie finished 15th lol, and at the beginning the two kawi riders took each other out , crazy crash lol

The race that aired on ESPN was actually taped in the middle of May at Taylorville. Both Natalie and Creamer were back to full speed last weekend at Kentucky and had decent finishes.

I met Natalie last year at Unidilla, the same day JJ got hurt. I met many pros, and they werent bad. I told natalie, one day i would beat him on that track, and he smiled and said he was looking forward to racing me. Im a 280 lb kid, who doesnt even fit in with the MX crowd, but if only he knew how much it meant to me, just to say that to me. Every time I hit the track, i think of Natalie, and some day lining up against him., just to be on the track with him. Hes definately the best racer I have ever met. And has the best character, and one hell of a man.





I have met Josh Creamer 2 times, and hes also a good kid. He races and practices at unidilla often.

Amen to that! I raced there that weekend and i met most of the pros, Natalie and Dunkelberger were deffinatly the coolest to meet. I met Byrd and he was kinda just like "eh". he wouldnt even really talk, just stared at the papers as he was signing autographs. Maybe he was having a bad weekend?

[Ralph]

All the pros ive met have been extremely nice.

I cant think of one i thought was not nice. Ive met alot too strolling around the tracks with harlen.

Natalie's a cool guy. He lives like 30 minutes from me and about 2 from my camp. We actually just went riding not too long ago (about a week or so). It was awesome. His mechanic Josh? can't remember his last name rode as well. Even tony mastrocola went. Some duct tape and a helmet and he was set! Quad tag was a bit rough on him though lol.


I think that must have been a rerun. It didn't appear that he was hurt.


Hey Ralph, I see you're from altoona. Is that altoona as in Altoona, Pa?
