I know this is mostly a dirt bike family and you have been very kind to us, so I just wanted to let you know a very well known 4 wheeler was seriously injured this weekend in N.Y. I believe (I read this in Quadzone.com) with a broken back and things are not looking good for him! So I figured ya'll prayed for us and it worked maybe we could do the same for Jeremiah! Thanks Linda & Mike

Man, this has been one rough year for serious injuries or is it that our eyes have been finally open to severity of the consequences of our sport?

We wish him and his family the very best in his recovery, please keep us posted Linda and thank you.

Thoughts and prayers going out from here.

New Berlin, NY (7/30/06) - Jeremiah Jones headed into this weekend of racing with high hopes for a chance at the ATVA National Motocross Championship, but sadly, he was involved in a horrific crash in the first turn of the second Moto, which left him with a broken back and no feeling below the waist.

Jeremiah Jones was rushed to the Baptist Trauma Center in Cooperstown, NY, and it has been determined that his back in the T10-T12 region was damaged, which resulted in some spinal cord damage as well. As a result, Jeremiah will undergo surgery on Monday, July 31st at Noon to repair the damaged vertebrate and determine the extent of the damage to his spinal cord.

At this point, the probably of Jeremiah ever racing or even walking again are very grim, but not without hope. The Jones family are calling for our prayers for Jeremiah as it is right now his best chance for a miracle.
