My friend was seriously injured in Arenacross

My friend was seriously injured in Arenacross*Video inside*

I just thought I would post a notice about a rider friend of mine that was injured March 16th at the Grand Forks, ND Regional Arenacross. His name is Eric Nelson #157. He is a A class rider out of Williston, ND. Eric took 2nd place in 125A last summer in ND. He went over the bars in the whoop section and has a crushed vertabrae. He is in the hospital until he can be fitted with a body brace. He will wear that for about 6-8 weeks, if all goes well. If anyone feels like helping out a rider in need for some of his doctor bills, please send your donation to:

Sundowners Motorcycle Club

Our club is making an all out effort to help him out. He is a rider that a lot of people look up to. Thank you for any donation and maybe he can be back to racing before summer is over.

Here is his picture from the Banquet last year, Eric is the taller guy.

Added a video of the crash to the first post.

I would like to send a thank you to - sfc crash -

You really came through with the donation, It will mean a lot to Eric. He is really bummed about his crash and maybe missing the upcoming race season.
I talked to him last Friday, and he said he tried to sit up and play Nintendo, but after 15 minutes, his back couldn't take it any more, so he went back to lay down. So he doesn't sound too good right now, but a 19 year old should heal fast, we hope.
