Robie Peterson

Recently Elevate rider Robie Peterson suffered a sever crash. He's an outstanding and influential rider and we hope he makes a speedy recovery.

From Bret Peterson

For all of you that dont know yet Robie crashed out at Milestone MX over the weekend and is now at Arrowhead Regional Hospital recovering. He does not remember going riding at all but the doc said he went over the bars off a jump at 30-35mph and landed on his head and right side. He fractured 3 Ribs and his Scapula, and was knocked unconscious for three minutes. He has some spots and swelling on his brain which is causing some short term memory loss but the docs say he will pull out of it just fine. I was able to see him last night and he's still working out the cobwebs from the crash. His long term memory is great but his short term is still pretty bad but getting better. They moved him out of ICU last night which is a good sign. Hes keeping everyone laughing with his funny stories and the staff on their toes ripping out his IV's and even his chest tube!! We are trying to keep visitors to a minimum because of his condition but we will let everyone know when its ok to come down and visit. Please keep him in your prayers, we all hope he will pull out of this sooner then later and be able to come home and fully recover with his family and friends. -The Peterson Family
