Still Christmas shopping?  Make sure to check this out!

The action sports community has come together to support injured BMX riders TJ Lavin and Ty Pinney.  In Oct. of this year Ty Pinney crashed while riding in TJ Lavin’s backyard as all the riders getting ready for the final stop on the Dew Tour series.  The very next day while competing in the Dew Tour Dirt Jumping prelims TJ Lavin also suffered a big fall.

Soon thereafter both riders were located in intensive care and in neighboring rooms of University Medical Center’s Trauma Center, both in similar conditions under medically induced coma’s.
