With a SCI they classify us as incomplete and complete. Complete injury is usually a severed cord. Incomplete injury cords in tact and you have function or sensation where you shouldn’t
Did your feeling below chest or pain sensation ever improve over the years or has it been the same since your accident?

A good friend of mine, Matt Bigos, who's also known as "the other guy in the car" with Travis Pastrana when he crashed the vette, was paralyzed for about 6 months, but eventually gained SOME mobility.
It's not always an all or nothing thing
Also people never think about other bodily functions....pee, poo, whatever, that gets messed up as well....
I think that all of us would love to delete this part of our sport. Because spinal injuries are sickening.
It’s definitely great news that he has feeling. A greater chance of recovery.
Hell I know someone with 0 feeling but they recovered enough to walk. It’s crazy to watch
Dave if you know someone who knows Brian and he’s willing to have a visitor that knows what he’s going through I’d visit him. I’m in Tampa visiting new injuries every week
There is absolutely no excuse they can come up with that would justify their actions. None.
I hope Feld is held liable for this, I feel so bad for Brian.
Edit: Also I don't sweat at all wouldn't mind that little piece of the puzzle back as well She gets nice and toasty over here and if I don't splash water on my self or sit in AC my shit just shuts down, pretty scary
Another edit haha: I think I remember reading years ago that Mitch Payton is in the same boat as you, where he has feeling but no movement.. I could be mistaken though
Modern medicine is not witch craft and you can not spot a cervical fracture a mile away. You just think you know everything but you don't.
As a new injury it's easy to slip into the "why me" phase. Once you see life doesn't stop because of the chair and you can still do some awesome things it gets easier.
I used to sweat on just my right side but a drug i'm on so I don't piss myself stopped that also. Always have a spray bottle for the heat and when i'm playing wheelchair rugby

Hopefully Moreau quickly starts to feel or move, the best chance to regain feeling or movement is when the injury is fresh. The longer you wait, the less chance you have for recovery. The next 12 months of this guys life will be turned inside out like you can't imagine.

I meant going to visit the newbies in hospital!
Earlier in this thread ML said he "heard" photographers said that they overheard him yelling this. This thread seems like a whole lot of hysteria based off of rumours and hearsay.
I absolutely hope the best for the kid. If these rumours turn out to be true then it is a very unfortunate situation that hopefully these guys learn from.
I've been racing for 47 years and I have never seen such callousness that the promoters have for the riders .
Can you show me ANY other sport that incurs injuries to so many of its top level participants?
AND IT'S OK???? Everyone is too financially vested to promote a safe track. They seem to think that If we don't have nasty rhythm sections, triples and heaven forbid whoops, no one will come to watch?
SX tracks are out of control and unfortunately so are the National MX tracks. The Massive jumps and rhythm sections only take away from the racing. That's something you could so something about Davy, but you don't.
When the facts come out and If the situation warrants it , I hope Brian sues Feld for everything they have...
Other sports with similar injuries? Rodeo? Football? Did you catch the end of the Daytona 500 last night? (Here's hoping Ryan Newmann is okay.)
If the tracks are too easy, people (and riders) complain. If they're seen as too tough, people (and riders) complain. At least from my side of the fence, they're doing a decent job of keeping the tracks comparable to what the field can handle, and also keeping the majority of the field healthy.
People will happily throw insults at people putting themselves in a position to make a positive difference in this sport then pray to a god that does and has done fucken nothing
Edit: I'll add that I'm not having a go at people who have faith, whatever gets you through the day..
"I'm not a trained medic but..." but what? You're gonna assume you know more than someone who is?
Yes it looked bad but I'm not gonna sit here (literally) and criticize trained professionals that obviously know more than everyone on here about how to care for someone in this position and have put them selves in the position to care for the riders..
***I'm hoping for nothing short of a fast and full recovery for Brian!
No one says it’s dangerous to immobilize the injured rider, and use a back board.
There’s no consensus on whether it’s safe to move the injured rider and tote him around, sitting up, in a side by side.
Thus, immobilize the rider and get him to a hospital.
