Jaie Toohey Survives Stomping Ground
Monday 21 June 2010
Yo yo, just checking in letting you guys know what I've been up to. My last few weeks has been pretty dam hectic, I finshed off with the Nitro Circus Live Tour in Australia, then I was straight on the plane the next day to the States for Red Bull Stomping Ground in Chicago.
I got there and was expecting the jumps to be big and downhill, but they were just like a normal dirt course. They were still definitely fun to ride though. Unfortunately on my first run and first trick, I crashed and ate shit pretty dam bad. I smacked my head, my knee brace dug right into my leg and I just couldnt move. I had no movement in my left leg, so I got rushed to hospital. They were telling me I broke my femur and had a broken hip, so it was straight into the ER room to get MRI / CAT SCANS / X RAYS.
After all that I only ended up having real bad bone brusing, so I was stoked. Now I'm back in Greenville, North Carolina and had my first ride again the other day. It felt so good and I have just been riding everyday getting ready for the Dew Tour season thats just about to start. I'm feeling so good on the bike so lets hope it stays that way...

Budds Creek Wrap-Up
Monday 21 June 2010

Budds Creek saw another dominant performance frm series leader Ryan Dungey, although it wasn't the cleansweep we were getting use to. With a 3-1 effort, Dungey edged out Andrew Short who came in 2nd and Chad Reed in 3rd for the Opens, while Christophe Pourcel dropped some points off his series lead by coming in a surprising 4th after some surprising results in the 250's leaving Dean Wilson first, Justin Barcia 2nd and Tyla Rattray 3rd.

Unit Motoconcept riders had a strong showing for the weekend as well, with Ryan Sipes landing a really solid 7th overall, along with Kyle Chisholm in 9th place in the Opens. This is Ryans debut season in the opens class, so to be placed so high is a testament to his ability and enthusiasm, we can't wait to watch his progression throughout the rest of the season.
Unit's newest American recruit Broc Tickle has also continued a solid run of results, finishing the weekend in 6th overall in the Lites. Broc now sits just 1 point behind 4th placed Justin Barcia and only 24 points from 2nd placed Tyla Rattray in the season points race, so every round coming up is going to be exciting. Broc has proven he has the speed to podium, so with some luck we will see him up there.
An honourable mention must also go to Aussie Dan Reardon, who although finishing just outside the top 10, put in an awesome effort and has hopefully shaken the bad luck voodoo that has been sitting over his head ever since his A1 crash. We look forward to net round!
