Default ANOTHER Rider Down!!!
Looks like another STR member experienced "first-hand" what a hard fall feels like.

This time KEN (aka Northshore) was the unlucky prize winner. While riding The Ladera Singletracks on Sunday, he missed a berm and fell 12 feet off its backside.

The injury was severe enough that it required him to be Air-Lifted from the scene!! His main concern is his left hip/pelvis area. His ribs, elbow, wrist, cuts and scrapes are of secondary concern to him right now. The x-rays were negative. He is hoping the MRI "comes back" negative as well. I will keep you posted!

Get well soon Kenny.....

Thanks for posting for him Dino.

Hang in there and heal up quick! Take advantage of the time to get waited on hand and foot, it doesn't last long.

Sorry to hear about the crash, Ken. Hopefully it's nothing serious and you'll be back in the saddle again soon.

Kenny "SUCCESSFULLY" made the grueling journey from his hospital bed to the restroom!

I'm telling you- the guy is tough!
