With no goats currently at Smagical Acres, it has been a tough time for Smagical shredders everywhere. This last week saw two Smagical riders retreat to the injury list. AMA Supercross points leader Ryan Villopoto crashed while leading the St. Louis SX, breaking his Tib/Fib. He had surgery to set the bones in place, but will require another surgery before the healing process can begin. The Smagical crew was on hand at the SX and witnessed the crash. Needless to say, everyone was thankful that the injuries weren’t even more severe. Get well soon RV2!
Smagical Ringleader Phil Smage is also out for a while. He took a few slams while out filming some snowboarding in Colorado and broke his collar bone. It looks like he will miss the opening round of the AMA/NATC Trials Nationals, but will be good to go in time for the remaining rounds and the Maxxis Endurocross Series.
So sorry to hear of you accident. Get well soon—Grandma Shirley
Hope your collar bone heals up quick! I am so bummed that there isn’t a national round in TN this year 🙁 Don’t think I will be able to make it out to any of the other rounds, so I will just have to rely on your smagical site for some sweet trials coverage!
