With Shane being the superman he is I'd imagine him to be back on his feet and in attendance for the Daytona Supercross on 3/6. Sorry to hear and best of luck, I'm sure Tammy will be getting details on where and when we'll have a card to sign.

Shane has extensive damage to his ankles / legs especially his right leg He will require several surgeries to try and repair the damage.

Shane was jumping a double when apparently his bike stalled and he came up short, cased out the bike, and drilled his legs into the ground. He was able to keep his bike upright and rode his bike over to a chain link fence where he could grab it and hang on until help arrived. His right leg is so damaged it is now much shorter. They have performed a surgery to open up his legs to help relieve the swelling and he has had a second surgery to try and remove the shattered bone fragments.

People have called and asked what they can do for Shane and his family. What they really need most is financial help. He will be unable to walk, let alone work for quite some time. We should have something set up soon so we can accept donations for Shane and his family.

[froth]

Ouch, to say the least. As tough as he is, I' more scared for the doctors and PTs that will be trying to keep up with him once he starts rehabbing! Heal up soon, Shane.
