I really hate to ask this question, but I have to. But first, let me explain my ignorance. I just got into biking seriously last year. I have a friend who lives in Vegas and he invited my wife & I down to the SX finals last year. We went not really knowing anything. Needless to say, I am a huge fan now. I have been following all the races this year and I am much more familiar with the riders. We plan on going to Salt Lake and back to Vegas this year. My knowledge of past riders is slim to none. That brings me to my question: Is David Bailey paralyzed? If so, how and when did it happen? The reason I ask is that my wife pointed out to me that he is always sitting on a four wheeler when they begin their broadcasts on ESPN. I really hadn't paid much attention to the fact. Since she brought it up, I got to looking and his legs do look atrophied to me. Sorry to be so ignorant, but I am anxious to learn. Thanks for taking the time to read this long winded question! -Jon
