Steve 23 your comment made me laugh out loud literally.
Steve 23 your comment sounds like something I would say. Freakin' Hillarious Dude!
Anybody know what the status is on Tommy Hahn?
I heard he pussed out.
jajaja i have to admit i laugh too
hahaha steve. yeah thats right. snapped knees and wrists aren't even a big deal anymore
No S.D. SX for Christian Craig? Boo. I hope this doesn't become an ongoing thing for him, the Cajon-Zone needs it's represent*tives to show up & fight the hordes of Floridians.
steve 23 your a d*c* head
I would like to respectfully request more accurate reporting of specific bones and ligaments damaged, since it's a physical sport and there are enough injuries that we should become familiar with our body parts. Sometimes people call the patellar ligament the patellar tendon, and the patellar tendon actually has another name. It would help if we knew that someone broke their fibula, rather than broke their leg. Broken arm? Which bone? Proximal humerus? Distal radius? Olecranon process? Hahn's T-5 was compression fractured. Was it subluxated? Sometimes T-5 slides forward on the sacrum, creating a more serious injury. Lance Armstrong had to deal with spondylolisthesis during his career, and that changed his riding position. Thanks for the info about the lunate. At least we know he should be back soon. If the navicular was broken, we might not be so sure. Maybe somebody could ask the riders to get specific info from the doctors and write it down if they have to, so they can tell us exactly what is injured. We want to know!
Hey what about Josh Hill? Inquiring minds want to know.
Jeff Alessi.... I'm sure his fan wants to know.
^^what fans?
Josh Hill is waiting and his foot to regain feeling after a shattered femur damaged the nerves in his lower leg. I say just rock the dead foot, puss.
steve 23 u r a Muppet do you think your funny with your comments these riders put there lives on the line for our entertainment
You proboly sympathize with that Bears qb who pussed out too. I would have thrown a touchdown on one leg.
The pink day stuff will probobly just lead to more riders acting like pussies. How about flesh colored bikes with wirey hair sticking out of them (grow a pair day).
Rock the dead foot ? I don't want to encourage S23 but that was good !
I'm putting myself in the douche bag now
JimM
steve 23 ! You are the puss ! Whats next "walk it off" ?
JimM
To Steve 23...what makes you an authority on moto injuries? Are you a professional motox rider? or just a big mouthed wannabe with nothing going. Tommy Hahn had more injuries before he was 10 then you've had your whole life. because to get injured you have to actually get off your butt and do something. He owns his own home at 25..how bout you what you got going?
To jairtime..

This website is only to let fans know if riders are ok and when they will be back in the game. Personal medical information is available on a need to know basis...and you dont need to know.
Steve 23 runs his pie hole here, he is probably the biggest cun# out there.
