it just makes me angry to see something like this happen to someone so young like me (im 22)...puts everything into perspective. Sucks to say he had it coming but its true. He deserves a second chance and miracles happen and I hope one day he can get back on a bike and prove to everyone he learned his lesson. Miracles happen.
Thought I'd share a picture I have from one of the few times I rode with him. It's from slimey crud run 2011..put on 400 hard miles that day. Note: he is wearing the white helmet.

probably a good choice. that would be in very bad taste. there is no sense in bringing that up in that situation. it may be worth it on here to help convince other riders that do not wear all the safety gear they should. just remember there is a time and place for everything, and his recovery page is not the place for negativity toward him in any way.
he may have made a lot of people angry on here but we only saw one side of him. from his recovery page it looks like he was a fun person to be around judging by the responses from his friends. i could only hope to have the same number of people hoping and praying for me if something like that were to happen.
Hey Two, these things happen. Tis life! Pretty much everything has been stated in this thread that needs to be said, but we all make our own decisions, some decisions just have greater consequences. Unfortunately for Rob, he made a series of decisions that may ultimately take his life.

man aint that the truth.. I dont even know the kid and the whole thing is just throwing me for a loop. Hope he makes it through all this my thoughts and prayers go out to all of his buddies and family nobody deserves to go through anything like that.
local newspaper article about what happened...

also according to a family member "brain pressure is now down and someone else is being brought in for a second opinion. he is being monitored due to electrolytes being high"

I hope he pulls through. I don't wish this on anybody. I have lost people close to me at very young ages and I have seen what it does to the family and friends. It really makes you want to check yourself before you wreck yourself. ATGATT. Ride safe.
just out of complete curiosity, not trying to bash on him, but will insurance pay for damages/replacement if they know it was being used "at a high rate of speed, while attempting a stunt?"
meaning, you have to be operating the vehicle within the limits of the law, cant be used in the commission of crime, etc?

I think the only way the insurance wont cover it is if alcohol was involved. But by the sounds of it the bike is the last of his worries.
Also most motorcycle insurances don't have health insurance coverage so your personal insurance would cover it and that works no matter the situation.

ya, ive never really checked into the limits of my bike coverage or my truck coverage, other than a few months ago when i broke a windshield and didn't have $0 deductible free replacement. probably wouldn't hurt to quiz them, "what if my bike was up a tree?" play fifty questions

He may be referring to medical coverage.
Well now that he's passed, I feel terrible. Sorry Rob. RIP

na i was asking about coverage on the bike, not completely familiary with how stuff like that works, not familiar at all, actually. never wrecked a bike, EVER. ((knock on wood),(never on a public street),(HAVE wrecked on the track)).
i am familiar with medical coverage, since im an E.R. EMT of two and a half years.
by the sounds of it, no his medical coverage (i think in texas the state minimum is $100,000, and that also depends on the policy) will not cover everything, he will be in excess of that
and i think that sums up THIS ENTIRE THREAD.
i think there is also a million and a half other things to consider, stuff i dn't really want to consider, i know ill look like a ******** pointing this stuff out, but the work that i do, i see it on a somewhat regular basis
think about permanent damage? if he pulls though? what will his mental capacity be?
will he ever speak again? will he ever tie his own shoes again? will he ever walk again?
how much weight he is going to lose while bedridden?
if he pulls though, how long will he be in rehab?
if he's in school and now not able to finish?
if he's ever mentally capable of being able to work?
if he has other financial obligations he cannot tend to? who has to take care of that?
if there was alchohol involved? how will that play out?
this will be, without a doubt, the most difficult thing he ever has to deal with in AN ENTIRE LIFETIME...................
and it could have been avoided...
and i know, NOW I SOUND LIKE A ********
but..........well sorry, sometimes poeple just need to hear that, as far as im concerned. instead of telling him "its going to be ok, its not your fault, it was a freak accident"
ill actually never forgot one patient i had the privelage of taking care of. on a 12 hour shift, a guy about 45 years old or so, was on his enduro bike at a friends house, had three beers (by his own account), decided to ride home, down a dirt road about 3 miles, one left turn with a stop sign, forgot where the stop sign was, slammed the brakes into a chain link ffence, which snapped his neck. as literal as it sounds, it was a very compound (i was told by the doctor, not sure of the specifics) fracture, a very difficult to fix, very serious fracture. he was airlifted to parkland hospital in dallas texas. for further treatment
the part of it that shocked me the most was, when the attending e.r. room physician told him, "you may never be able to look left/right again, depending on the outcome of your surgery, chances are not in your favor, the prognosis is slim, you very well may be a quadraplegic for the rest of your life. IF the outcome of the surgery is in your favor, you could expect to regain normal functioning a few years from now, then after multiyear rehabiliation you could possibly perform activities of daily living on your own."
and in that moment i remember thinking, WOW, talk about putting your life on hold................just wow
