January 26, 2004

Suspension Plus MX Training's Ryan Sipes is currently in Room 725 at University Hospital in Louisville, KY. According to his Mother, he has a 4 inch laceration on the liver, broken rib, bruised kidney and both lungs are partially collasped. If everything goes well today, he may get to go home on Tuesday.

Suspension Plus MX Training's Shawn Clark was stranded in North Carolina with his broken foot after his flight was cancelled due to weather on Sunday. He had used all of his pain medication and was going to try to get a room somewhere for the night.

January 28, 2004

Shawn arrived in Nashville, TN on Monday and his parents had to pickup him up. He finally got home about 8:00 p.m. Monday night. He has three bones broken in his foot.. As of Tuesday night, he still did not have his luggage with his foot x-ray. He was going to a specialist on Wednesday morning and probably would have surgery today.

D.J. 's surgery went well on Monday. He has 1 very long screw that fastened his four broken bones into place. He is in pretty good spirits. He will have a splint for 3 weeks and then 3 weeks in a cast. Then he will undergo rehab and be back to riding.

Ryan got home from the hospital last night   (Tuesday). He can get up and down but ribs are very sore. He will be out of commission for about one month.
