- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Gee Atherton took a massive slam in practice for Red Bull Rampage yesterday afternoon that required he be life flighted out to a local hospital. He took to Instagram today, October 11th, to update his fans about his condition.
It looks like Gee sustained some heavy body trauma including a fractured skull and some broken vertebrae.
Take a look at his update below.
"Heavy day yesterday. Testing out the new drop on my Rampage run and a combo of slightly deep and a bit of a wind gust meant I couldn’t ride it out.
Injuries are not too bad tho, some fractures to vertebrae and a few skull fractures will mean I’ll have to chill for a few weeks.
What hurts the most tho is missing the event this Friday, especially after the dig crew have been putting in such an effort.
Big thanks to the medical crew on site, and to @alfraynor, @kuli_1995 and @moonhead_media for creating this beast. We’ll be back" - Gee Atherton via Instagram
We at BikeMag were gutted to see Gee go down like this in practice, but knowing how he recovers from injuries, he'll be back in no time.
