[QUOTE=StonedWorld;214145]Bare with me while I wait for a reply but it might not of been tj who took the spill. If I goof'd ill help you guys out with some "clues" for the challenge.[/QUOTE] Multiple people on Twitter are definitely reporting it was TJ Lavin...

TJ is a gamer and I hope he'll be alright. My prayers are with him.

The Dew Tour page is reporting it as Lavin, he was rushed to the hospital.

Man, that sucks TJ's such a cool dude. I wonder he's going to replace him as the host of the Challenges.

[QUOTE=CastAStone;214169]Hopefully TJ will come back. He's not dead yet.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I hope he's able to come back to. I'm loving the "new" personality in Cutthroat. But according to Derrick he left for Cutthroat around the 5th episode of Fresh Meat, so Challenge 21 should be casting now and they should depart in the next 3 to 4 weeks. I just thought that he wouldn't be able to make a full recovery by then.

[QUOTE]Professional BMX dirt rider TJ Lavin was seriously injured during dirt qualifying at the Dew Tour Championships in Las Vegas, Nev. last night. The 33-year-old Las Vegas native was admitted to the trauma center of the University Medical Center in Las Vegas on Thursday night, and according to a hospital spokesperson, "is currently in critical condition" as of Friday morning. No further details were given by the hospital.[/QUOTE] [[URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/action/bmx/news/story?id=5687468"]via ESPN[/URL]]

[QUOTE=Clarke;214166]Man, that sucks TJ's such a cool dude. I wonder he's going to replace him as the host of the Challenges.[/QUOTE] Poor TJ, I hope he gets better. I can see Mark Long replacing him.

I'm very saddened to hear this. I pray he will make a full recovery from this.

I hope he recovers quickly and fully. Great host IMO

Further to that, it seems TJ is currently in a medically induced coma. [QUOTE]TJ Lavin took a hard slam during dirt prelims at the Las Vegas Dew Tour. He was knocked out, shattered his right wrist, and fractured his orbital bone in his face. He is currently in a medically induced coma. According to everyone who is at the hospital with him, things are looking positive and doctors will hopefully be able to wake him up tomorrow. This is a very scary situation, but TJ a tough dude and we're confident he'll pull through this.

I'm glad it's a medically induced coma and that things seem like they will be OK.

Oh my gosh! That is TERRIBLE!!! I hope and pray that he makes a full recovery, soon!!!!

Let's please keep this thread contained to well wishes and news about TJ.

I assume that the medical induced coma is just for his comfort and so he can rest. The video doesn't make it look like a bad accident so much as a bad landing. I am sure he will be fine and wish him the best.

I can't believe so many are counting Teej out, damn! He'll be ok and remain as host im sure. Best wishes to TJ.

Wow this is awful. Seeing him so much on the challenges it actually feels like a castmember was injured. Hope he makes a full and quick recovery!

[QUOTE=Morris1721;214214]Wow this is awful. Seeing him so much on the challenges it actually feels like a castmember was injured.

I wonder if the BMP crew is still at the Hard Rock filming or if they went to the hospital. Same city and all.

Someone posted on his Twitter that the swelling in his brain has gone down and that he's getting better, but still not out of the woods yet.

[QUOTE=Morris1721;214219]Someone posted on his Twitter that the swelling in his brain has gone down and that he's getting better, but still not out of the woods yet.[/QUOTE] That's what TJ wrote on Twitter yesterday about his friend Ty, who also crashed and banged his head bad in Vegas this week.

Ahh you're right, my mistake. I get so confused by Twitter and since it was posted only 8 hours ago I didn't know if that was TJ or about him.

My thoughts and prayers are with TJ and his loved ones.

My thoughts and prayers will be with Teej and his family.

Medically-induced coma?! How awful! I'll keep him and his loved ones in my thoughts. P.S...StonedWorld, it is good to see you back here, though not under the circumstances... :(

Latest update from his mom: [URL="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2010/10/exclusive-interview-bmx-bikers-mom-it-was-suppose-be-my-sons-last-ride"][url]http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2010/10/exclusive-interview-bmx-bikers-mom-it-was-suppose-be-my-sons-last-ride[/url][/URL] I hope and pray he gets better. I've know someone within the last 3 weeks who was put in a medically induced coma..it was one of the best things they did. Some pull through TJ.
