Geez, some of these latest posts have me confused but praying for them to be true. When I started this thread, Jantz' sister said he had already passed. Still can't imagine what the family must be going through and hope and pray for the best.

Not sure if I'm going to practice today or not. If anyone is racing or practicing this weekend I hope you have a good ride but more importantly a safe ride.

Same here, read on Facebook they announced at mini o's his brain still had activity and was alive. Hope he is

Horrible to read. If there is some brain activity then there's surely still some hope he might return. My thoughts and best wishes to friends and family.

By all family posts and a corrective post by FMF Racing on facebook, he is still alive, has brain activity and is fighting. Someone jumped the gun on an R.I.P thread and it started a chain reaction.

Pull through Jantz.

UPDATE FROM JANTZ FATHER AS OF 6:30am

Jantz Grodzicki #96 update Nov.24th

This is Chris, Jantz's dad... I wanted to first thank everyone for the heartfelt prayers for Jantz. I need to ask everyone the favor of including Jantz in your prayers as we move through this painful journey. Jantz sustained a devastating brain cell and spinal cord injury. He was wearing a layete brace and shoei helmet. We left the hospital last night with zero hope from the doctors of his survival chances. His heart stopped at the track and he was pronounced brain dead at the hospital with no response. He was however put on life support until we decided on the options available that I hope none if you ever half to face. A short while ago we received a call from the doctor that a miracle took place this morning at 6:30am that Jantz's "condition has changed significantly" he is responding to eye commands, left to right, up and down and raise your eyebrows. Still no other responses other than this. Given what we were told this is truely a miracle. The thoughts and prayers shared here and on Facebook are what have helped him to make a move off the line. The race for recovery is just beginning and we can only pray that God will pull him through. May god bless each of you and your families. The Grodzicki Family....

Maybe Scottie, Terry or GuyB should change the title of this thread? To Please pray for Jantz or something like that. This was such awesome news to wake up to today. This shows how powerful Prayer is!

I susained life threatening injuries at Cooperland back in 2004. By the time the news had reached my family back in MN, they were told I had passed. It is not uncommon for things to get misconstrued in these situations. If you dont know facts, well wishes is all that should be posted. I am extremely thrilled to hear that the guy is still fighting. You will be in my prayers little moto brother! God is beside you in this fight!

I'm not getting on the high horse right now.

So sorry for your loss. As a fellow Dad, I don't really know what to say.

Sad news. I feel so sad for the family because loosing a child is the worst thing in the world. My son was in the hospital for almost a year when he had cancer and I saw so many parents loose there kids. It's heart breaking.

RIP Jantz.

Jantz will be forever remembered as a fierce motocross competitor, and for the warmth, kindness and amazing sense of humor he shared with everyone.

RIP Jantz.

As a father I can't even comprehend what the family must be going though. My thoughts are with them.

Thoughts and prayers to the family. Rest easy, Jantz.

Working on the little bikes tonight, but thoughts of this terrible news had me shutting the doors.

So sad to hear this, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends.

I wish I was really smart and could figure out a way to stop all these kids from getting seriously hurt and dying from this great sport we all love, it's just not right .
