On June 10, 2004 I was practicing at a motocross track in Berthoud for an up and coming race that weekend in Sterling, CO.  It was a typical evening of practice as I was just trying to put as much into the evening before going home.  I decided to go out for one more moto to cool down, as it was rather warm that night.  During that moto I seat bounced a small rutted tabletop jump, just out of a corner, and got kicked off my bike.  No big worry as this happens from time to time.  However this time I landed on my side and as my neck went over my right arm it broke, causing instant paralysis from the neck down.
