You’ll remember it was #711 Nick Collins who crashed hard over the triple at Round 2 at Temple Hill MX in Raymond, Alberta, when his bike quit (spark plug boot came off on the face of the jump!) and sent him to the ground hard.

Here’s what Nick told us today about how he’s doing:

It’s been a rough few weeks but we are finally starting to see some improvement. My concussion and back fracture are feeling great, but my knee and femur are still in some pain. I am able to move around on crutches now and have started physio. Docs are saying it will be a long road ahead to get full motion and strength in my leg because of muscle damage to my quadricep when my femur bone went through my thigh. All in all, things are looking up!

Thank you to everyone that has helped me through this brutal situation: Tee Perrot, Charlie Johnston, my mom, and the rest of the boys… you know who you are!

Hang in there, Nick. Keep working hard to get back to 100% and we’ll see you somewhere soon.
