Nichol Rogatkin spleen injury!

Nichol Rogatkin had recently nasty fall on Portland Dew Tour and at the moment to heal a broken spleen! Good luck in whatever it is soon back on the bike!

"I was recently on a west coast trip, which started out great, and ended very badly. My first stop was the ASA Triples in Orange County, California. The contest was in the middle of the Orange County Fair. This made the event really fun and the people at the fair were going crazy for the tricks that were thrown down. I rode well, and got through a couple battles, but I slipped my pedals and was eliminated.
My next stop was at Woodward West. Woodward is always lots of fun, and the dirt jumps there are amazing. I had a great time for the 4 days that i was there.
My final stop was in Portland, Oregon for the Dew Tour. I was there to ride dirt, and the jumps were fun. My first two days of practice were great, but on the third day, a few hours before the contest, I crashed very badly and ruptured my spleen. I was forced to stay in the Hospital in Portland for 10 days before going home. I will be off my bike for about 3 months."
