Last weekend at the 2015 Detroit Supercross, Team Tedder’s Jake Weimer and Honda Racing’s Trey Canard were involved in a scary collision that ended both their Supercross seasons for 2015. Yesterday, Jake’s wife Nicole posted an update from her Instagram account to keep us informed. You can read Nicole’s update below and scroll down to see all of Jake’s, Nicole’s and trainer Randy Lawrence’s Instagram updates. Warning, the bottom pic is pretty gnarly—we struggled with posting it—but Randy Lawrence talks about some good stuff in the post. Get well soon Jake.

Hello everyone, Jacob wanted me to give you guys an update. He has suffered a concussion, a mild pneumothorax in his left lung, split open his chin pretty good, a fractured Adam’s apple, bruised vocal chords and a blood clot in his throat, and to end the list a broken right humerus. He had a successful surgery yesterday morning where they plated his arm. Thank you so much for all the love and support, he’s having a difficult time talking so he wanted to let everyone know if you have called or text he will get back to you when he’s feeling a bit better. Hopefully be out of the hospital within a couple days. -Nicole

pray for @jakeweimer12 and @_nicoleweimer love you guys .

Ok here's the downside of our amazing sport of SX. My dude @jakeweimer12 got landed on last weekend in Detroit. Most of you probably saw it. Him and Trey went down hard. Maybe this can be a little perspective change for some of the keyboard assassins out there hating on any rider to ever compete in professional SX/MX. These guys are as tough as they come. Being in this industry for 25 years now I've seen about all you can and have been there to pick up many riders off the ground. For me it never gets easy and even though it's my job to critique and help these riders be better. My respect for what they risk daily has never waivered. I know that Jake will come through this stronger and continue to push hard and try and be better the day he returns to the gate. This is what we do and we love it. Even through the tough times. So let's try and have a little more respect for all these guys. Even the ones that don't make the night show. At least their geared up and going for it. While we're sitting in the stands talking about how easy it is. Keep your head up Jake. You are a bad dude.
