Jimmy Hake - Life Flighted to Danville Hospital

[MBennett]

Just to inform everyone that knows Jimmy Hake, he was life flighted to the hospital yesterday after over jumping a 45 ft double on his dirt bike. Looks like he is going to be ok, but has some internal damage..

Shiiiiiit. Get better Jimbo, I hope everything will be ok.

He seemed like he was in pretty good spirits when i talked to him today. This is the second time this specific jump has "Bit" him so to speak... After the 1st one, i tried to talk to him about pacing the progression, as we had both kinda just started flinging ourselves 40-60 feet on dirt bikes.. Needless to say...He didn't want to pace himself...

As i talked to him today, i asked him if he was going to chill out with me for a lil.. and gain some more bike control... IN typical Jimmy Fashion... he said when he gets back he needs to "SEND IT" again...

I'm thinking he will be just fine..

James Short right there in the beginning waxing with a 4x4 shirt on.

Hake's a stellar dude for putting up a bunch of us Detroiters at his house back in like 2003. And he was way dedicated to Vertigo. I hope this isn't anything serious.

[denialchild45]

yeah i noticed james right away
miss that dude so much

[bakerized]

Damn Jimmy I know your badass and all but come on man, you really cant go back and try it again! haha WTF.

[_doesitmatter_]

damn that sucks....hope he heals up soon and doesnt have any problems.

big falls can sometimes lead to a lot of things going wrong over time.

[Mikey Peluso]

jim is the man, i hope him a speedy recovery
