Brad Gamalach was recently paralyzed at a local millington motocross track. He was jumping a double going into a corner, and didn't see that two lappers had rolled the jump. He changed directions midflight (to avoid them, and landed in a strange position. Didn't really wad the bike. Knew something was wrong right away though because he couldn't feel anything after landing.

Suffered cracked ribs, and other minor injuries. He will remain paralyzed from the waste down now.

Keep him in your thoughts and prayers, ect for a speedy recovery.

I'm not good with these kinds of posts,so...
:confused: later

He got married in the hospital, but he is gonna be permanently paralyzed from the waiste down.

He's a relative of mine, I don't really know him real well though. It was just passed along to me, and I don't think he wants to be bothered yet.

I hope he keeps in good spirits, I think I'm gonna stay away from all tracks for a very long time.

That sucks man. A similar injury happened to a guy in my circuit last year when he wrecked on an 80' triple on a bike. He is permanently paralyzed from the waste down. It was great to see him at some of the races later in the season though, he still loves the sport.
