Let's all hope the kid is OK!:)We just got off the phone with Robert Pastrana, who called in what he referred to as his "Monday morning damage control call."
Seems Travis was never unconscious, which was erroneously reported yesterday. "I was with him the whole time and he never lost consciousness," said Robert. "In fact, he felt that he'd broken his leg. And the first thing he said when we sat him up was, 'How many points?'" Meaning, how many points had he lost to Brown and Langston. Robert said Travis would seek the opinion of his orthopedic surgeon on the enxtent of his shoulder, ankle and tib/fib injury this morning. Robert added that "He has no headaches so there is no reason for another MRI." Robert closed with saying Travis will take a week of "laying low," then see about practicing next week for the upcoming X Games (Aug. 17-23).
To push it right now doing stuff like free style
The most talented kids get too good too fast and beat themselves up and out of their sport before they ever reach their prime.
Sounds like a good time for Travis to learn about personal responsibility
True, but it also the duty of a parent to ALLOW their children to grow-up. Making their own decisions (and dealing with the concequences) is part of it. He's nearly 18, can't "protect" him much longer.One duty of parenthood is to protect your children and offer wise counsel
Okie's right. Travis may be able to decide for himself, but this now changes from the parent/child relationship to the employer/employee relationship. Suzuki has a lot of money tied up in TP, so they may just make the call.Originally posted by Okiewan
In this case, I tend to believe that Suzuki and Roger D. should be the ones to make the call.
