I crashed in Matomi wash about race mile 270 about 1:30. I was pinned under the bike and a quad rider picked it off of me. He helped pick up the bike. I fractured my right wrist and re injured my separated shoulder from a pre-running crash the day before.

This pretty much took the wind out of my sails, but I still finished a lot slower than I had expected at 22.5 hours. This was my first solo attempt so the fact that I finished was a feat in its own.

Nice job on the finish that looked like a bad place to crash for sure riding the rest of the way had to be painful.ouch. Dusty

Men that was hard. I recall riding a Baja 250 with some broken bones. Nasty I felt like crying when i crossed the finish line, but of couse I didn't. Get well soon.

WOW, man that had to suck. Thats' awesome you finished though.:worthy:

What a stud. It takes serious commitment and determination to finish after a crash like that. Congrats on finishing.

Thanks Fellas. I think I might of actually got knocked out :bonk: for a few seconds, it does not look like I am not moving right after the crash. The camera had broken of and was laying in the rocks.

Neck and shoulders are not doing too well either. Heading back to the doctor tomorrow.:busted:

All I want to do is go riding! :ride: :ride:
