Wow. Where do I begin. To start, on behalf of the entire Rice family, Cassie and I, we would like to thank EVERYONE for making this a huge success!! When we pulled in and it was cloudy, and remained this way all day, I was a little nervous, and not as much nervous for me, as for everyone that...

I couldn't agree more Loneranger171. We are very lucky to have all the people helping out with their time, donations and kind words. And stoked doesn't even begin to explain how I feel about tomorrow. Like you said, I'm definitely in need of a little pick me up. And I cant wait to see everyone...

Thanks George! Lol. But what can I say, when you're right you're right! Lol. And as far as putting that much into a rzr, I think I'll pass on that too. Lol. I got a call from the dr's office this morning. Not what I wanted to hear. I can get my final surgery as soon as this coming Tuesday...

As for getting away from it completely, I think this would actually do more damage to me than good. I've met alot of awesome people from the tracks over the last 20+ years. Bikes and riding/racing will always be a part of my life. But knowing that I have a risk as big as not walking right again...

Thank you loneranger171. I really appreciate it. As for the ride I've been on, it's definitely been a long rough one. And I still think one of the biggest struggles I'm going to have is giving up riding. But on the plus side, at least I got a chance to meet loneranger171 and bs with him a bit...

Great News!! At my doctors appointment today, I was informed that after my final surgery (within the next two weeks), I would be allowed to start putting weight on my foot within 6-8 weeks. His original time estimate of starting to put weight on the left foot/leg was 3 months. This is AMAZING...

Thank you guys very much. I'm looking forward to seeing everybody there! And YZ125: Wanna make that bet into a donation? ;-) I bet you I don't. The risk of having to get my foot and ankle fused together down the road without any other outside risk is enough of a reason not to ride again. Let...

LuckyStar 64: I believe he broke his arm(s) on the second double, beore the small tunnel. And trust me, I'm 25, started riding when I was 3 and racing since I was 4. Giving up riding is going to be one of the hardest things I will have to do in my life. But like Meister said before, there aren't...

Well it's been quite a while. Figure I would give an update. The last surgery they did, when they did the nerve block, they had to rebuild the outside of my foot with plates and screws, plus rebuild my heel with plates and scews. The nerve block was nice, and I think they could have cut my foot...

I love watching Ken Block behind the wheel. He is AMAZING. And man what I would give to own a car like that! A 2010 KTM250SX for starters. Lol. That would be a win win. Get rid of my bike plus do like the counseler said and get my fix of the adrena,line rush that I will be losing with not riding...

I wanna give everyone an update. I had the first surgery on my left foot yesterday at 2pm. Everything went very well. I let them do a block on the back of my left knee before they did anything. It made a huge difference in handling the pain. Whet they do is actually keep the nerves soaked in a...

Thanks guys. And Mike. Tell him to look me up for sure. And as far as the riding again deal. If they didn't have to fuse that bone id more than likely ride again. But with losing side to side movement with it, and possibly having to get the foot and ankle fused together down the road, its not...

It's goin as good as it can. I'm still at the rehabilitation/care clinic. I get the staples out of both legs this Sunday, the 24th. My first surgery is scheduled for Tuesday the 26th at 2pm on my left heel and bone on the top outside of my left foot. Then I'll more then likely stay at Akron...

Alright. Thanks Walt. I will definitly keep that in mind if I have any questions or concerns.

Leaving Akron General tomorrow. Then I'll be at Alliance Community Care Center for therapy until they're done with the multiple surgeries on my foot and heel. With the extent of the injuries in my left foot and heel, the chance of severe arthritis in them is going to be very great, and possible...

Ha ha. I could definitely see that being on Ridiculousness. Lol. And thanks Meister I appreciate it.

Ha ha. Thanks everyone. I didn't realize I'd have to do something so dumb to be famous!! But I made it!! Lol. Definitely not feeling famous today! The rods that they put in my tibias seem to be doing well. Now today I'm waiting to go down to surgery so they can put an external fixator on the...

Yeah. I had been tripling it the couple weekends when I was there. And did it a few times Sunday morning. Well one time I hit it on a previous weekend, I over jumped the landing and it wasn't too bad. So I thought if it still felt the same, which it did, if I landed the jump before it and pinned...

I want to thank everyone that helped me today. A huge thank you to Berkheimer,his fiancée Jules,Campbell for the easy up, BJ and Brock, Mark Fox, and the other 20+ people that helped make the wait for the ambulance as painless as possible. And as of right now, they've fixed the tibs and fibs...

Fox: they just moved me from ICU to room 5251. Visiting hours are from 9am 9pm if you wanna stop by. My email address is jrice8@kent.edu if you don't get a chance to stop by. I don't have a problem with you posting the pictures on here either. If anything it'll give riders a reason to think...
