Hey Ryan. Just like to thank you for helping to keep everyone on the up and up. I have been really busy taking care of things at home. Little brother has a big farm and a lot of work to do to keep it up to his standards. I have been taking care of Big D's company and trying to make everything here at home go as smooth as possible while we battle through. A few loyal friends here at home help as much as they can , so I also thank them for what they do also. I finally got to see JJ Saturday (the first time I had seen him since three days before Unidilla). It was hard seeing him at first. To see a person who had so much , and gave so much to a single pursuit of reaching greatness , loose it all in an instance , it hurts. He lived , breathed , and did everything to help our sport become everything it is today. He has no regrets about anything , but looks forward to the future and what his next mark on our sport will be. The next few months will be hard for him but with the support of his family and all of his many fans , he will overcome. I asked him Saturday if he had ever reallized how much he meant to so many people , he said no. He had always thought of himself as just another rider that tried his best to set a good example on and off the track. I think he knows now how much he is loved on and off the track. Thanks , Chris

Has Jeremiah been able to read all the post that we've been posting for the last few weeks? Does anybody know? That would give him just a little bit of an idea how much he means to his fans. 14 pages on this thread and that many more on the Unadilla post on this site alone. Anywho I'm still hopin and prayin for the best bro. Hang in there.

man that brings back some memories for me. i had the same injury happen to me a year ago. but i was fortunate enough to walk/ride again. my prayers go out to you JJ. i know what your goin through dude. on the inside and out. but keep pushing, stay strong and positive.

on a different note. good luck with that brace on, or better known to my family as a "turtle shell". lol. it sucks. taking a shower with it on is even worse b/c then you have to go lay down on your back and have someone pull it off. you sweat your but off too with it on. good luck JJ and my prayers are with you dude.

Hey Kristin! Just like to give you props on the my space page you created. I viewed the page a few days ago , and was blown away by the creativity. The pictures you chose portray my brother for who he is and what he stood for. Fans like you and so many others are what help keep our family strong. Thank you for caring enough to show everyone what he means to you. By creating the page , you gave others a place to express their feelings. Thanks , Chris.

Did he get another MRI and Cat Scan Monday? If he did how did things go for him? I've always loved watching him race and you could tell just by watching on tv that he is a great guy and has done alot for the sport.

Posted by: jones5790

I talked to JJ a short time ago. I asked him how his day went and gave him an update of things here at home. I only live about an 1/2th mile from him , so I keep watch over everything. Today I just called to talk about stuff , not about hospital stuff. He enjoys just talking about everyday things and not foccussing on his injury or tests he had undergone. I thought I 'd give him a break from the medical questions today , but as soon as I get new info , I'll be sure to pass it along. Thanks to everyone , Chris.

Posted by: Pappy

Hey Chris,

Is there anything he needs or wants...I saw the RC car and figured if he had something he would like to pass some of the time with I am sure a few of us would make sure he got it.

And it was good to see a smile on his face in the pictures, at the tracks this weekend noone was smiling when they either found out about his injury or were discussing it. If he thinks he is getting support now, just wait until this information goes mainstream, I hope he likes opening letters!

Posted by: Kristin250EX

Chris,
I wish there were more I could do for Jeremiah. When I made the page and started letting people know about it, there was a huge response and still is. There are people sending comments, requests and messages every day. I felt like it was something I needed to do for everyone, especially JJ. I love working with pictures and graphics, I have made T-shirts for me and my husband, supporting JJ. Thank you for looking at it and the compliment. We all know Jeremiah is #1 here and always will be.

Posted by: quadracr

I contacted Moto Tees a couple of weeks ago. They said they might be able to do a commemorative shirt for JJ. I would be all about that. If you get a chance to call them maybe it would help convince them it would be cool.

As many of you know, Pro Suzuki rider Jeremiah Jones was involved in a race accident. To help out with his medical expenses, Bare Performance and the "Central" web sites have teamed up to raffle off some amazing prizes! 100% of the proceeds from the raffle will go towards Jeremiah Jones.

We would appreciate it if you could help donate money as it is going towards a great cause!

__________________________________________________
_______________

New Berlin, NY (7/30/06) - Jeremiah Jones headed to Unadilla for weekend of racing with high hopes for a chance at the ATVA National Motocross Championship, but sadly, he was involved in a horrific crash in the first turn of the second Moto, which left him with a broken back and no feeling below the waist.
Jeremiah Jones was rushed to the Baptist Trauma Center in Cooperstown, NY, and it has been determined that his back in the T10-T12 region was damaged, which resulted in some spinal cord damage as well. As a result, Jeremiah underwent surgery on Monday, July 31st to repair the damaged vertebrate and determine the extent of the damage to his spinal cord.

Unfortunately, his spinal cord was found to be seriously damaged. As of now, the odds are not in favor of Jeremiah ever walking again, but as anyone who has been fortunate enough to know and meet Jeremiah will tell you, he will give it everything in his power to overcome this hurdle.

The surgeons applied a bone graph and screws to Jeremiah’s damaged vertebrate, which has set the stage for the healing process to begin.

100% of the proceeds from this raffle will be donated to Jeremiah Jones to help him and his family with his extensive medical bills.

We here at all of the Central Sites wish Jeremiah Jones a speedy recovery!

I had heard something about JJ's bike being raffled for $50.00 a ticket. Any body know how or when we can buy tickets?

Posted by: randyIL

There was mention of selling the Quad JJ rode last year on EBay.

You can find the message on page 11 of this subject.

Frankenstein,
As far as the raffle for the LT-R450 bike, all I have heard is that they will be selling tickets in KY, at the nationals.....They said something about letting us know when there would be a website to purchase them, and I haven't seen nothing about that yet.

I just talked to Big D. a few minutes ago. He and our mom just returned from Louisville on a visit to see JJ. His outlook is good and his spirits are high. He would like to thank all of his fans for their support and for all of the letters , cards , and e-mails he has recieved. His greatest fear since his accident , has been that he would be just another racer that was forgotten. After he started recieving his mail , he finally realized how important he was to so many people. He still has a bad day from time to time , but reading the cards and letters he recieves lifts his spirits and brings his hopes back up. Jamie went to their bank to start a benefit fund. Anyone wanting to help out with the mounting medical expenses can send donations to our parents address (811 William Simmons Rd. , Bowling Green , KY 42101). Checks can be made to Jeremiah and Jamie Jones Benefit Fund. He will be released from Frazier on Thur. or Friday of this week , but will have to return five days a week for therapy. JJ turns the big 27 on Wed. and his 1st. anniversary is August 27. This has been a pretty big month for JJ. From everyone in our family , we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the prayers and support. Keep praying , and never give up!

Thanks , Chris

Posted by: Kristin250EX

Chris,
Thanks so much for the update. I have been checking everyday. He is still in all our prayers, and I'll be sure to spread the word about the benefit fund. Thanks again, Kristin

Like Chris was saying Wed. Aug. 23rd is Jeremiah's 27th BIRTHDAY!! (Mine was today Aug.22nd!!) Jeremiah and I usually spent our birthday's at some restaurant at a National with the whole JPMX crew, often ending in a FOOD FIGHT!!

I talked with Jeremiah for a while this morning and he was really excited because he gets to leave the rehab center for a couple hours to go out and eat lunch in downtown Louisville with his mom and dad, Jamie and his physical therapist and trainer, all to celebrate his birthday!! And as Chris was saying, he is gonna be released this Thurs or Friday to go home, and that had him all fired up because he will get to go to the ATV National MX at Ballance MX in a couple weeks to see everyone!!!

I'll be going by Frazier Rehab wednesday to spend some time with Jeremiah and wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Later-Ryan Barnes

Posted by: Quadz4Life88

Thats awsome news. I've also been checking in everyday to see what kind of good news anyones heard of. Keep pluggin along JJ. Your doin awsome.

Has anyone gotten their JJ wristbands by mail yet? I send my payment to them a little over 2 weeks now and I still have nothing. Just wondering if anyone else got theirs.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEREMIAH JONES!!!!!

We here at SRS Racing have been spending alot of time in prayer over JJ's unfortunate mishap. I have always felt that he was the fastest rider on the track. It is absolutely unfortunate that JJ was dealt such a horrible blow. Jeremiah is the one rider that both of my children have grown up watching and admiring. At my house, when the topic of ATV racing comes up and we begin to tell our racing stories, it always seems that some how Jeremiah's name always seems to appear somewhere in the story. My daughter is 3 years old and at any time if you ask her who her boyfriend is she will always reply "Jeremiah Jones". Every time I go out onto the racetrack and do something that looks cool, or I get a bad start and have to fight my way from the back of the pack, or when I find myself having to explore different lines on the track that maybe no one else seems to look for, then when I get off the track someone in my family (usually my son) always say's "man, you were Jeremiah Jones'n that thing". Ever since I started racing ATV's I have watched JJ and tried to learn from him. Sometimes I learned by trying to do what he was doing and sometimes I learned from his mistakes, but nevertheless, I have always learned from him, and I am pursuaded that anyone who has ever watched him (wether you are a fan or not) can probably say that you have learned from him to. So with that in mind, I think that it's time that we taught Jeremiah something. I think that we need to teach him how much we love him. The cards, letters, e-mails, and prayers have helped him tremmedously thus far, but don't let up now, lets stick with it. Another lesson that JJ can be taught is that nothing is impossible when you're a child of God. In 1996 I cut the back of my arm with a miter saw, I cut all of the ligaments and tendons that go to my fingers on my left hand and cut 3/16 of an inch through both bones. That Doctor said that I would never again regain full use of my left hand, but after alot of prayer and getting serious with God and REALLY BELIEVING that I could be healed, I was riding again, on a 2-stroke I might add (clutching like crazy with my left hand). I have a white #2 with a blue background on the hood of my four wheeler, I put it on there after the Doctor said that Jeremiah had a 1% chance of ever walking again, and I vowed that I would run that number on there until he walked again, because I know how big the God is that we serve.

Happy Birthday, and God Bless Jeremiah Jones

I got my wristband this monday and i have been telling people outside of racing about jeremiah and his situation. Good luck J.J. never give up!

Posted by: superman

I made it up to Louisville Wed. evening to see Jeremiah on his Birthday!!! He was in really good spirits cause he was getting to go home at 10:00am EST on FRIDAY!!! We had fun laughing and joking around, and both he and Jamie got to look at the Myspace page that Kristin Fritts from TN(Kristin250EX) has created for Jeremiah, they were really impressed!! I had also givin Kristin my cell # so that she could call while I was at the rehab center and wish JJ a Happy B-day herself!! She thought that was really cool, she talked with both Jamie and Jeremiah for awhile. Hope to see everyone in Bowling Green for the final round of the ATVA MX Nationals, Jeremiah WILL be on hand!!! Later-Ryan Barnes

Happy Birthday!!!

And Anniversary!!!Looking Good!
I went to Loretta's even though I Knew that I wouldn't get to see you race and it just wasn't the same without you in the mix! I really enjoy watching you push your way to the front and never quiting every time you race!!! Needless to say You are my Favorite Pro rider on and off the track. I spoke to you at a local Fair race a few years back when you were on a YFZ. We talked about two strokes and you are the most down to earth guy out there. I was suprized how Cool you are Especially for the Fastest guy I have ever seen on a quad! Just watching you race, I know You would have taken the title this year! If you are as intense on your recovery as you are at racing, I know you will be walking soon enough and then riding again and then become Champion again soon after that, If that is what you want. I would just like to see a Good person like you walk again much less race. I know you have it in you, be patient and God will take care of everything else.

Posted by: 700bRad

JJ your in my prayers man. I love watching you race. I hope you will get well soon. I feel as if I should say something original but im just speechless right now. There are tons of people that love you JJ, you are my idol. Lets keep up the support.

I am a mortgage broker in az and love atv racing. I am willing to donate 25% of my comission to jj's family if i do a loan or loans for people that mention jj's name so if you could post something about this on different forums or websites it would be a great benefit for jj's family. My name is Josh Dae and i work at First Capital Mortgage here in Az. I can be reached at 480-540-7874 . I am very serious and want to help anyway i can and i think jj and his family could benefit from my help. Please let me know if i can help you. JJ getting hurt makes me sick, he was riding so good recently. I remember watching JJ dominate on the 250r. I hope to see him rip on the Ltr soon. Get well JJ.
Thanks
Josh

It was so awesome to see JJ this weekend! He had no idea who I was lol, but he made my day when he signed his name on my poster. JJ if you read this I was behind the guy who had you to sign his baby's back and I said "Thats one way to start him off early" haha

JJ - I'm still praying for you !!!I wish the very best for you in your family!!!!!

Take care
Kenneth

Hey everyone! Chris here. JJ's been home for a little over a week now and is doing fine. He starts his outpatient thearpy next week and is really looking forward to it. He really enjoyed going to Ballances last Sunday. Seeing all of his fellow racers and the continuous line of fans made him feel like he was back at home. I joked with him when people started lining up with the short amount of time he had been at the track. We as a family , greatly appreciate all of the prayers and support from everyone. JJ is still in awe at the amount of people he has influenced and helped by just being himself. We would like to send our deepest sympathies to the Irwin family in Australia. Steve Irwin was a great man who opened the eyes of many, and showed people that many of the creatures we fear are not monsters. We were great fans of Steve and will dearly miss him. JJ enjoys watching his show and could not believe he had passed away. The Irwin family and everyone close to their family are in our thoughts and prayers. Even though tragedies happen , we must remember that those who have fallen would want us to strive forward and never give up.

Thanx for the update Chris - much appreciated!!!

Cris,

My family and I wish JJ all the best and our prayers go out to him and his family.

This ordeal kind of reminds me of when David Bailey got injured. This is a great reminder that if it can happen to to the BEST of the best, then it can happen to anybody. So be careful people and treat every day like it's your last...live life to it's fullest every single day.

These two (JJ and Bailey) were indeed the BEST OF THE BEST and always will be in my mind.

Hope all is well in the situation for JJ. The support says alot for how much he is liked in the atv racing world. JJ has my full support as always! I would do anything to see him race again hes the best their is and nobody will ever fill his spot!!!!!!!!!!!

Bought one also.

Even though it reduces my odds.. I hope they sell all 1000. I think it was an excelent idea for a fund raiser!

Even with 1000 sold, that's still excelent odds!

I noticed he's got knobbies on his wheelchair! You can take the racer out of the race, but you cant take the race out of the racer, lol.

It's good to see he's in high spirits.

Posted by: atvrulz

Jeramiah Jones was my favorite rider. I liked his aggressive riding style and great body English on the quad.

I saw him at the 12 hour race in iowa a few years ago. Did not get to meet him, but hung out next to his pit area for ahwhile before he was getting ready to go out and do some laps.

I hope he will be able to walk again someday.

Chris here again. JJ's doing great. He's been doing great in his thearpy and is getting stronger everyday. We equipped his lawnmower with a seatbelt so he could mow his lawn and it worked great. Our cousin brought a golf cart over last week and JJ's been using it to ride on his farm. Getting him out and around on his farm has been great. Bill Ballance came over this morning to take him fishing. They had a great time and caught alot of fish. As Mr. Hayes posted above , JJ's race bike from last year is on ebay right now. It is the last bike we have from the 2005 season. You'll find all details on the bike listed on the site along with pictures of JJ and the bike together. I would like to thank my wife who painted the number plate and his name on the drive. She went to great lengths to make sure the number plate was exactly like his plate on his new bikes. We are doing fine as family. Jamie has not been feeling well today though but baby Nathaniel is getting bigger everyday. He enjoys riding with his dad in the wheelchair and eating everything he can. JJ and family went to the Vegas dealer shoe last weekend and had a great time. Well , that's about it for now. I'll try to keep the updates coming. Thanks for all the support!

Just thought I'd give everyone a liitle news on JJ. He' doing fine and allready back at work. He flew up to Doug's Sunday to begin testing with the team. They have a lot of work to do and they're getting a jump on it. JJ knows that his experience and mechanical apptitude will be a great help to the team. Many of you don't know , but a lot of the products you use on your quad were tested and improved on by JJ. His feed back on many of the products he tested , helped improve their capabillities to be superior. JJ is one in a million , a rider and mechanic all in one. Many of you have voted or are planning on voting for rider of the year at atvsport.com. We are hoping that all of JJ's fans and supporters vote for him. He doesn't want a sympathy vote though. He wants to win the award for the season he had up untill the accident. If you look at how his season started and where he was headed you'll know why he deserves that award. To be almost dead last in points after the first three races and be battling for a championship with three races left , that is the determination of a True Champion!!!

His physical condition is about the same. He has accepted everything well and is doing good. He has built one BAD remote controled car. I think it was a CEN gas powered. I don't know much about them, but it looked good. He has been to a couple of test for the 07 season. As you can tell, he is getting on with life, having fun and working hard on racing stuff. Jamie and Nathanial are #1 in his life! I knew Jeremiah would be fine. People like him are cut out of a special piece of cloth, strong. Everyone keep praying for him and his family! We can all use more of that!

I was a latecomer to ATV racing and still to this day have not done much except try to get out to the track whenever I can to practice. I have never raced and would hope to someday do just that, just for fun. I am however hooked for life with no question and this is why. My real good friend on this site polcat1p got me into ATVs and I have to say that I loved it from the start. It was about two years ago that I got hooked and I remember the very moment that it happened. He came over and threw in Huevos 7 and told me that I had to see this video. I had already been riding with him on a few occasions so I had that tingle in my bones that I think any rider gets rite before you through your leg over that beautiful machine and take off, but as I watched this video and it got to JJ's segment I remember thinking to my self that I had never seen something so amazing and incredible in my life. Every jump every turn was done with such precision and elegance that I couldn't take my eyes away for a moment. Watching him go around that track, to me, was like nothing on this world. It was joy and perfection at its purest instance. To this day I still get chills every time I watch that clip of him. That was the instant I knew I would ride for life. I never got to experience all of the great history in ATV racing, but instead my history began on the day that I watched Jeremiah Jones get onto his YFZ and do what he was born to do. Thank you Jeremiah for being my inspiration and for ushering me into this beautiful sport. You will forever be in my thoughts and in my life. Thank you

I truly belive that.

This is one thing i like about this forum, its more than just that its a family of people who like to do the same thing. RIDE. They are there to help when you need it and give more moral support than any place i have went to. I feel confident that i could tell anyone on here something that i wouldn't tell a good friend and get some type of sypathetic answer from it. Now we do have the people who will go around bashing this but thats there perogative.
JJ I am behind you 100%. I may not know you or have ever met you but i am still your friend.

There is no physical change in Jeremiah. He has been busy working on stuff for the 08 racing season. We went out shooting our 22's a couple weeks ago. We cleaned a walnut tree

Like everyone else with a family, he is busy.

True dat... i love that segment of him riding on the track w/ the heli following him, while he's hitting those insane whoops.

my six year old and I had the pleasure to meet JJ this past summer at my cousin's shop,near his father in law' s home! HE is a very nice young man.very easy to talk to. I wished i would have gotten him to sign my son's quad while i was there.but didnt want bother him about it, on his off time.i'm sure he will be back.he looks good and in good sprits and talked a little raceing and rc car's. seen him again this christmas eve over there didnt get to talk.again very easy to talk to.Im sure any body that knows him will say the same. god bless him and his family.

JJ is my Sons FAVORITE ride in the world. He acutally teared up watching him in the latest video . He has a totally diferent outlook and respect for our sport after getting to sit and watch him talk ...
We hope JJ is doing well and wish him the best in life.

Jeremia Jones has my support. He is one of my favorite racers or was, and I hate to see him not being able to race quads anymore. But we can't do anything. Can JJ walk again or will he ever be able to walk again? anyone know?
