Has anyone heard how Lance Canfield is doing? He was taken away in a chopper at the Rampage with a laceration. Does anyone know if he is out yet, details of the injusry, and how long he will be out for? He was killing the Super T drop most of the weekend. Then had a little spill after landing it. I am really surprised he needed to be evacuated like that and Wade didn't. Wade Simmons had the 2 nastiest crashes I have ever seen and walked away with only a ****ed up ankle from the second crash.

Oh well the announcer at the Rampage was a total idiot. He said Lance just had a laceration and that was the official word. I thought it was strange that needed a chopper. Oh well thanks for setting me straight.

Hey Guys
Thanks for the concern. I'm doing all right. The Heli was to be sure I didn't have a broken femur. (life threatening) I have a cut to the bone about 3" wide right above the right knee, I think from the stem but I'm not sure. I had a partial tendon tear and some muscle damage that the orthopedic doc fixed with something like 40 stitches. I will be in a stabilizing brace for a month and maybe another month or two of rehab depending on how I heal up. Back to work today.
Thanks again everybody for the concern
Lance

really? That is good news. I was told he broke his femur by some folks who were there. I think even velonews is saying that, good stuff. Much better.

...he was back at in the shop at Eko - called and talked to him about a fork.

Sorry, had I known I would have said something...sounds like a pretty nasty frickin' wound.

Heal well and heal quickly.
