thanks but no thanks, i just couldnt bring myself to watch it:(
please tell him from all of us to listen to the docs and we will all be praying for him. and thank you for updating us on his condition.
I am trying to figure out how it dove so bad. You can hear he was panick revving but it did not slow down the nose at all, it dropped like a rock. Did he seat bounce and perhaps the back end loaded better than the front causing it to flip like that? I just do ont get how it dropped so fast.
Best wishes to Ryan. Hope he gets back to 100%. As for racing again...if he does all I can say is wow after that crash.
From what I read on here and other forums , people were saying that they were getting launched off the jump wierd every time.. no matter what happened that was a NASTY crash . Luckily none of the other riders landed on him . I really wish him the best of luck and a speedy recovery .Quote:

Ryan's sister, tell Ryan that Kyle Sands is thinking about him, we are D-12 riding buddies and if he doesnt start eating right I will drive to Nashville make him eat( just a little humor to lighten up his day) we got to talk for a few minutes on saturday after qualifying, but watching the crash in person is something that I will never forget...as far as how he crashed he cased the double before the table top a little and seemed to have thrown him a little jerky which caused him to hit the table top sitting down...seat bouncing the table top is what caused the bike to dive so hard...it happened so quick he didnt have much time to panic rev it to correct the situation...Im glad to hear he is doing better...send him my best please.
I don't know Ryan, but wanted to say I will be praying that his surgery goes perfectly on Friday, and I'm sure the doctors will get his teeth fixed just fine. They can do amazing things with oral surgery these days.......:) Keep us posted!!!
Thank you Kyle. Can someone pm me his home # or anyway to get in touch. I really hope his mom and dad are doing okay too. They are some of the nicest people I've ever met.Quote:

He is still in Nashville at the hospital...I dont want to speculate on his condition because it has not yet been confirmed. But surgery has been scheduled for friday. Quadchick3 was able to get me this info.
just watched the video, i feel sick. . . everyone needs to thank God for sparing his life, i just about lost my best friend to a very similar crash, we are praying for him here in Arkansas, i know how nasty that jump is, i about crashed on it in 03'. Thank goodness he kind-of cleared the jump with his body, if he wouldve hit flat ground it could have been ALOT worse. good luck bud, looks like you are a very fast rider!
