Ryan Sipes - Cracked Hand

Comment: Vallee suffered a horrible crash while leading a race at Pala Raceway. After being landed on multiple times, he was airlifted to Palomar Hospital and underwent two surgeries, with rods inserted in both femurs and three plates and 33 screws used to repair the left elbow. After multiple surgeries, a month in the hospital and much hard work and therapy, Bryce is now walking again much to the surprise of his doctors. With the help of Eddie Casillas of Asterisk Medical and Charles Dao of ICON Sports, here is a video of Bryce walking for the first time on May 30th at the ICON facility in Murietta, less than 2 months after the crash. Donations for medical expenses can be made at www.brycevalleemx.com.

If you're not happy with less than a win, of course it doesn't make sense to race Millville or Washougal with Dungey out there. Keep hiding and making excuses James, how he has a single fan left is one of lifes greatest mysteries.
Theres gotta be something more with Davalos. I race intermidiate and I have had at least 6 knock outs on the bike. I would be back at in in a month as stupid as that sounds but these guys are proffesionals at what they do. Thunder valley was the first weekend of June. Whats up with you Davalos
Perhaps JS7 should see if Jessica Patterson could share with him about how to be tough. There are so many riders like JB10 who really do know what it means to "Man-up". Very frustraring for the fans and for those who pay him to ride. Too much money is being spent on a no-show.
Why is there no update on Ryan Sipes from casing the Leap? He busted both foot pegs off then didn't race after that, surely he's injured? He looked pretty sore hobbling away.
@Warrior: I find it so hard to believe, my friend, that you actually think it is in James best interest, to race with an injury (that really goes back to a mangled surgery in 2010) in a series that makes no possible sense to race in, (than) make a fan or two happy. And if James does race at Millville to make that same fan happy and injures his wrist (or someone else) with some form of permanent damage, that the now happy fan is going to compensate James for the rest of his life, because he can't perform his craft to sustain his livelihood.
We, as fans, would no more want you, (if roles were reversed) to race injured. Nor would your mother. Now straighten up young man, or you're going to bed right now, with no dinner. And stop with those childish thoughts!
All kidding aside...Give the guy a break (no pun intended). ;~}
@mr2tired: Because he is racing. There is nothing to update.
Only thing injured with Stewart is his Ego when he got beat straight up...
@caseypons: shame on you for trying to inject some sensibility and unbiased observations into these forums. I am sure you will soon be labeled a "stewtard" and duly corrected.
Quick everyone get their stupid opinion in about Stewart
You guys might be all gay.
I don't think it's in his best interest to race. I think in his best interest, he should've quit a long time ago. He's done nothing but make himself look like a fool since 2009. I'm just so sick of this loser, and all the morons who claim he's one of the greats of the sport. One of the fastest? Without a doubt. The fastest? Quite possibly. Great? Hell no, greats win most of the time when they are supposed to, and don't quit and make excuses when they don't.
Warrior- Every single post you make is about Stewart and how much you hate him. Why don't you go out and do something positive with your life besides coming on here and bashing the same guy over and over. If he retired like you wish, how would you spend your days? Okay, we all get it, you don't like the guy but do you really have to say the same thing over and over again every week?
@mxkid381:I agree with you about Davalos. It seems too much time has passed unless it is a real serious concussion.
@LastBikeRM250: Live by the keyboard, die by the keyboard!
Ha, Ha, Ha!!! ;~}}}
pro racing seems like a rough way to make aliving!!!!!!
@ warrior462 he has fans because he is so cool to watch ride, be it his scrubs or aggressive style plus he is different not just the same politicly correct mxer you see all the time and yes with the way he rides he will have crashs, but if you think he is not 1 of the grestest then im afraid you are the moron.
Jarett Pesci and Amanda Maheu, dose anyone know who they are?
...........Nick Wey ????????????
Trucker: This report was from before Millville, Nick Wey has a broken back after his crash in MN, it doesn't appear that there is any spinal damage. He went into surgery yesterday I believe to clean up the bone. He will be out for the rest of the season.
@Chase Stallo; Ryan Sipes didn't race. Ryan must be injured from Red Budd, sure wish this site had an update on this tough racer. I'll have to find out somewhere else I guess.
