[QUOTE="DualSportr, post: 138458, member: 19592"] Although he did have a very serious injury in freestyle, all the rest of his injuries have been on the track. After talking with ex MX'ers turned jump monkeys (Shaun Highland and a few others - we've welded on their frames before a few events), they all say the freestyle is much easier on the body than MX or Supercross. The jump is the same every time, there's no one else to tangle with, the landing is the same every time. Anyway, I don't care what his dad said - Pastrana was on the ground for a long time after the practice crash on Sunday AM at Washougal - I saw that one. He was on the ground much longer for the crash in the 2nd moto. I didn't see that one, but he lay there at least 5 minutes. The practice-lap crash occurred in the whoop section near the finish line - we were about 10' from him (in the Parts Unlimited tent for anyone who knows the layout) and he crashed into the face of a whoop, then lay still until the medic got to him. He was moving around and talking to the guys right away, but did not get up for awhile - maybe 2 min. Then after he got up, he was still dazed and acting like his bell was rung. It took another 3 or 4 min to get back on the bike. When he rode away, he even had a little trouble staying upright at slow speed while looking over his shoulder for fast traffic. "Wobbly" would best describe his affect. I don't know if "damage control" means Mr. Pastrana is trying to prevent rumors, or trying to make sure the sponsors think Travis is okay, but I hope the voice of reason wins out and Travis is able to take some time off to get healthy again. I don't think a healthy Travis would have had the crashes that occured at Washougal. At least not all three! [/QUOTE]
