Sorry about that red flag!

[synfinatic]

Easier to update everyone here instead of a few dozen text and emails. Had a big high side going into T6 in F4. Happened so fast I'm still not sure what happened. Can't wait to see the video.

Anyways I never lost consciousness, but they airlifted me as a precaution to check my neck and spine. That came back negative but I've got some broken ribs and a small air bubble pressing on my lung so they kept me overnight for observation. Hoping to go home today but waiting on the X-ray results from this morning.

They did not throw a red flag when they were on the last lap anyways I was not happy they left u out there for half of the last lap and the parade lap I think it was bs u were obviously hurt cuz u weren't getting up but yet they throw a red flag for a some other laim ass crashes I was not happy at all seeing someone down for so long and nothing being done

 

[synfinatic]

Yeah I had the wind knocked out of me something fierce. Tried getting up once but my body said fuck no. At least I landed face up. All the medics and staff at the track took really good care of me. Helped me out of my leathers so they're still in one piece.

Glad to see you posting!

I asked Mickey to give you a gentle hug when he went out to visit.

Well one more night to watch the lung. Plan is to checkout around noon tomorrow. I slowly walked over to Richard's room (he crashed in T9 in race 1) and talked to him for a few minutes. He seems to be doing well and is in good spirits.

Didn't put two and two together on you and the rider who went down.

Glad you are ok man. ish

 

[kostritzer]

Damn Aaron... heal up! Broken ribs suck so bad, really sorry to hear that... let me know if there's anything I can do. Glad it isn't worse, and I hope you get to go home soon!

Yeah man, heal up. Sounds like a party over at Enloe. You, Richard and Vince? Lots of helicopter action this weekend. Good luck with the ribs.

 

[Lazerus]

But but but, how's the bike?

Glad you're alright, good luck with letting those ribs knit back up :/

 

[synfinatic]

Haven't seen it yet really. I've been told it's not too bad, except do my new AiM dash/data logger which is in two pieces. Right now I'm just really bummed I won't be able to do Rickdiclous in a few weeks like I had planned.

 

[AdrenalineJunky]

I was also really surprised they left you out there with no red flag, just glad you weren't more seriously hurt.

 

[Holeshot]

Bummer to read you crashed Aaron and got some hurt. Best wishes healing up, brother.

 

[Corey]

Glad you are OK Aaron. Take the time to heal, as I know you will be back.

 

[scratchpad]

heal up man. Good to hear you're relatively okay.:thumbup

 

[HellFyre]

Glad to hear you're relatively ok, man!

 

[eeeeek]

Just as an FYI before you all go on a witch hunt for "leaving him out there with no flag", They brought in the turn 6 corner worker at the same time due to heat exhaustion. In fact, they had to bring in turn 4 earlier and Dave actually went out to man the station. That's going the extra mile as your Rider Rep...

 

[KazMan]

Aaron, thanks for the update. Glad you are doing reasonably well. If ya need anything, let us know!

 

[EastBayDave]

Ouch, bailing sucks, broken ribs a bit more for awhile. Just relax, take it easy, & get some of your local buds to bring you some DVD's....:teeth

Get well soon!

I didn't see the crash but came by about 20 seconds after and saw you attempting to get to your feet and falling back down. I knew it wasn't good. Thanks for the post man, get well soon and come back stronger.
