Rider Down

19 Dec 10 / Posted By DBS

This weekend was round two of the British NPS4Xseries at PORC in Kent

Racing was fast and furious as always at PORC with more action than ever on the new longer lower section.
Unfortunatly during the senior 1/4 final Scott Shepherd got sideways on the fastest part of the track and left the course. Scott recieved emediate treatment from the onsite medical team, but due to his injuries could not be moved and the Air ambulancehad to be called. Scott currently is still in hospital in a serious condition due to his injuries.

Naked racings Chris Roberts took the very difficult decicsion to cancell the continuation of the finals. A very difficlut and emotional decision for Mr 4X that was fully supported by all the riders.

As a sign of support for Scott and his family riders are changing their facebook profiles to a Heinz 57 inspired logo tribute to Scotts distinctive race shirt

We are all thinking of Scott and send our love to him, his family and friends.
