We will be getting the wrist bands at Loretta's. We have 1000 adult on order and 200 youth on order. The youth will not be available until after Loretta's. We are ordering an additional 1000 at this time.
We will be selling the wrist bands at Lorretta's, Englishtown and Ballance's GNC race. We will make them available at as many events as we can.
Soon as we get the wrist bands (after Loretta's) we will let you all know how to get them online. We are working on the details for this now.
If you would like a larger order please send me an email at cindihart88@cs.com.
Thanks for all the support I know Jamie and Jerimiaha appriciate everything.
thats great news:)Quote:

This is when the beauty of the sport REALLY shines...
All the support and compassion for fellow riders/racers is amazing.
MY prayers are with you and your family JJ! I have never met you but you are a huge inspiration in the atv world so get well soon!
Bracelets are scheduled to arrive either Thursday or Friday at Loretta's. They will be for sale at the ATV Medical Trailer, ITP tent and I'm sure the Suzuki tent. Once we get through Loretta's we will start handling all the other requests. Everyone's support is deeply appreciated.
Now, on another note, the board of 88 Live to Ride (Cindi, Jorge, Sue Butterbaugh and myself) are hosting an auction on Sunday of Loretta's. The proceeds from this auction will benefit Anthony Mastrocola, the 17 year old rider who crashed at Steel City and is now paralyzed from the waist down. I have asked almost all the pros to donate at least one autographed item and spoken to several of the vendors for donations. Please help us make this fundraiser a success.
Matt loved this sport, but if it wasn't for the caring people who make up our atv community, I'm not sure I could have stayed as involved as I have.
SEE YOU AT LORETTA'S!!!

Debi,
You just took my idea completely. I did not want to sound insensitive at all, but I also wanted to see if there was any way that we could link some of the proceeds from these bracelets to Anthony. It almost seems that he is forgotten in this whole ordeal. Not taking anything away from Jeremiah's injury, but Anthony was injured just as badly as Jeremiah and I'm sure he was not any better financially or support wise as JJ. Guys please don't forget about us, the amatuers!!! I am just as guilty as everyone one else and have not done anything yet for Anthony and do not know him, but I would love to be able to help both of these riders, cause we all are a family, whether pro or amatuer. I would hate to see Anthony not get this same level of support as JJ, he's a racer too, just not under that big blue and white tent, but both of these young men need our help! I also think that JJ and his family would feel the same, he was Anthony at one point in his career. Cindi and Debi, please see what you could do about helping Anthony also. thanks

hes in my prayers i hope everything goes ok..
great guy!! iam lost for words
raptorguy.. am sorry to hear about your friend...I found my way on this site because JJ is world famous, im sure no one within the sport has forgotten your friend, and there are people out there doing for him, and the others that have been injured the same as these great people are doing.
My 17 year old daughter races a yamaha 450, and she crashed a few weeks ago, and broke her sacrum, she was lucky and healed fast and is already back on her bike racing again.
To JJ and all the ATV races in in situation speedy recovery to you all
I did not know girls had sacrom's! I am glad she is doing well.
