my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family

 

yea somebody please update us

 

Sux to hear... Hope he gets to feeling better...

 

That's what happens to the player in the game.....get well soon.....

 

Richard is doing much better. He is out of ICU and finally on a floor. Things are looking a lot better for him. I will give you a better update tomorrow. Thanks for all the support for him!

 

GET WELL SOON! Dont give up! Live to ride Agian!!!!!

 

hey bro get better and get back out on the street

 

Get well soon man...you'll be back on one wheel in no time bro...

 

Get Well Soon Richard!

 

Damn that sucks but the best of luck on a speedy recovery....to all of my stunt bros remember speed kills....stunts just hurt like hell

 

UPDATE: As Rocky had said, Rich has been moved from ICU to a room of his own. A few of us went up to see him last night, he is doing very well, he is healing faster than any of the doctors can believe! He is in good spirits, which means the most. He doesnt have internet access right now but he was given a print out of all the pages on Stuntlife and everything that you all have said on this forum! So wish him the best, certainly all of your prayers and support have paid off because he is doing exceptionally well for all that he has been through!

 

get well soon

 

get well

 

Glad to see all is well

 

get well soon guy!!

what happend to his friend that looped the bike? was he alright as well?

 

hey everyone,
I'm back home after a very rough recovery in the hospital but I still have a long way to go. As you all know I was in a very serious accident. I lost my right leg(from the knee down) and right right kidney also fractured L1 through L5 vertebra and pelvic bone. The gaurd rail also split my back open from one side to the other.
I had alot of good people stop and help me and if it wasn't for them I would have never made it to the hospital. I aslo don't think I would have recovered as fast if it wasn't for people like all of you and your thoughts and prayers that you all have givin me. I want to thank all of you for your comments which I have read them all. We are all one big family even with all the hate
As far as riding again. I have alot to over come first. I should be getting a leg made in the next month or so. It's gonna be really cool but it's gonna be hard to get used to it kind of like learning to stunt ride. I def. plan on stunt riding again but I think I'm done with the streets unfortunatly. Hope you all understand. I just don't want to put my family throu this agian. I am also in very good spirits and just happy to be alive. I def. look at life differently now.




thank you all very much!!!

-RICHARD-

 

Yo, It's really good to see you up on here, man... You are alive, and that's a blessing. I hope all is well, hit me up if you need anything, man.

By the way, my best friend lost his left leg from below the knee when we first started riding... he has been skateboarding since 86' with me... and he still hasn't quit. He still does kickflips, heelflips, skates miniramp and ledges.

 

Its good to have you back bro and good to see your spirits are high, that is so important to recover!! I cant imagine what you and your family mustve went through and continue to deal with, but you have everyone here always pullin for you!!!

 

Rich, It's great to see you posting and in great spirits. I cant wait to get down there to chill and ride with you guys again sometime soon! I truely believe that you WILL ride and stunt again, cant wait to see it!!! Like you im just greatful you survived, thru talkin with rocky and mason i knew how serious your injuries were and im really happy for you that things turned out as good as they did! Thanks for the good people that stopped for you too... too often people in cars dont stop for downed riders... luckily not in your case!!!

Welcome back bro! Stay strong, you have my number if you need anything

 

I wish him all the best !!
