I really liked him in SX this year. Hope he recovers soon and takes it to 'em.

If he lets Herlings get points on him, very tough season ahead. Heal up quick there Zach, You were give us all good reason to pay attention to the GP's.

Terrible news. I believe he could be a title contender over there. Hopefully it is not as bad as it sounds.

Zach sure opened up a bunch of eyes at the beginning of this year. Wish he would have stayed here longer. We were blessed to see him at both Anaheim events. I am still hopeful that there will be a USGP here since there are still two dates to be announced. Would love to attend it again and see Zach do battle with the rest of the GP boys!!! Heal up fast Zach!!!

Might be a blessing in disguise if he can heal up in time for the AMA Outdoors and race a full season in the states instead of the GPs.

Ah Crap! So sick of hearing about injuries, reading articles about injuries, etc, etc.

I really was looking forward to Osborne doing some damage (the other kind) in the G.P.'s this season.

With a little bit of common sense, a good team will pick him up for next season's 250F campaigns.
