Darryn Durham Injured

Friday, October 12, 2012 | 1:50 PM

Racer X has learned from multiple sources that Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Darryn Durham has injured his achilles tendon in a training accident. This is not a common injury for a motocrosser. DD was just getting back on the bike following shoulder surgery that knocked him out of the summer's Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship.

Not sure yet on Darryn's recovery schedule, but we do know that the Lites East SX Championship starts on February 16th in Arlington, Texas, which leaves about five months recovery time. We'll keep you posted as more information is known.

Wicked bummer..... he is shaping up to be the next Shae Bentley only without the regional supercross championship. Achilles tendon injuries tend to be tough ones.

Achilles tendon / heel injuries are very serious for an athlete. Ask Ferry & Izzi.

Wait a minute... I got thrown askew by the Yitzhak Rabin thing- DD was not west coast lites champion. This kid named Eli Tomac did pretty good though.

What a bummer.. I ruptured mine in 1999. I was able to race 4.5 months later so it is doable for him if he works hard. Find a surgeon that will do some (double suture) deal to make it stronger planning on an early rehab. Stretching back is the worst part, I taped a CR250 wrist pin under the toes of my foot and walked like that for weeks to stretch it. My calf muscle is noticeably smaller now than the other leg cause they stretch so much.

Good luck man I feel for ya

At least your spelling is getting better, you must have dropped the home schooling.



These boards are for racers and fans of the sport. Not ignorant, uneducated kids like yourself wasting people's time and making a fool out of yourself.



Go ask Stanton for his "autograf" and if he "wernt" too busy, maybe he could find "tyme" for you.



Asshol'.

Hey DD we are all for you! Gosh most people dont know how much that can hurt! Been there done that. Be carefull with the pain pills! I used a combination of muscle relaxers and pain pills it worked cause ya gotta use it to make it better. Just take care and get back on the track. Proper taping can help also!
