From BP: HEY GUYS, MANY OF YOU SAW MY CRASH IN QUALIFYING ON FRIDAY NIGHT IN COLUMBUS OR ME LIMPING BACK AND FORTH TO THE LINE AT THE RACE ON SATURDAY TO MAKE WHAT I COULD OUT OF MY RUNS. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WERENT THERE, AT THE TOP OF THE HILL THERE WAS A ROAD GAP UP A CLIFF. I HIT A KICKER GOING OFF THE LIP, THE BIKE BUCKED, MY FRONT TIRE HIT THE CLIFF, AND I WENT OVER THE BARS WITH THE REAR WHEEL COMING OVER AND DRILLING ME IN THE LEG. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FRACTURE AT MOST AND DECIDED TO RIDE ON SATURDAY TO SALVAGE WHATEVER POINTS I COULD. I RODE AND MADE UP SOME GOOD POINTS SO I WAS PUMPED. I GOT BACK HOME THOUGH AND THE FINAL PROGNOSIS FROM THE DOC WAS A BROKEN FIBULA IN MY LEFT LEG. IM STUCK NOW ON CRUTCHES NOW WITH A SOFT CAST FROM A BUNK DOCTOR THAT ISNT ANY HELP (I HAD X RAYS DONE FRIDAY AND THEYRE EXACTLY THE SAME). IM GOING TO SEE A SPORTS INJURY SPECIALIST THIS WEEK AND MAY NEED SURGERY TO GET IT HEALED UP ENOUGH FOR STURGIS. ILL BE THERE CRUTCHES OR NOT HOPEFULLY WELL ENOUGH TO MAKE SOME RUNS. ALL YOU HEALTHY RIDERS OUT THERE GET OUT AND BLAST SOME HILLS FOR ME, YOU NEVER APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO RIDE WHENEVER YOU WANT TILL YOUR STUCK UP AT HOME WITH A BUM LEG WATCHING VERTICAL DESTRUCTION FOR YOUR 20TH TIME...STILL AWESOME.

KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED AND ILL SEE YOU IN STURGIS! - BRET PETERSON

Well that SUCKS the big one for sure.
Sorry to see that, I hope it heals good / quickly.
You soon learn how quickly you get bored when you are injured.
As for riding injured.

Still kept riding

Heal well and quick Bret

heal quickly & get to kicken some ass

The 1st amateur race of the year in Cayuga, In I broke my collarbone on a practice hill..still placed 2nd in the 600cc class

You blokes are either bloody tough or FRIGGIN CRAZY!

There is no "OR", beein tough is only a consequence of beeing crazy

I will accept that, got to admire them its gutsy riding for sure.

Here's one of my stacks,i was camping on the track at the Finke Desert Race, camping can really hurt...




If you fall off the horse, you must get back on the horse

What if the horse doesn't want you to get back on.
Then what

you shoot the horse and get a new one
