August 28, 200718 yr British Championship youth B leader Jack Sheppard crashed out of the superb YMSA 3 day at the weekend on the second day. He had ridden his socks off the previous day riding up a class on the top route finishing second to team mate Jack Challoner. On the second day,disaster struck after coming back off a rock step at the end of the second lap. Jack landed on his back and the betas handlebar used the back of his hand to soften its landing leaving him in immense pain and braking the metacarpel bone He has been back to hospital today after some temporary work and the opinion is that it will be 6 weeks in plaster. This of course means that his lead in the Youth B british championship will almost certainly disappear in two weeks time in the Isle of Wight and also the ymsa championship is now questionable. This is likely to cause more pain than the injury itself. Jack would like to thank barry Burton, Ian Mchonnacie and their helpers for the whole weekend. Not wanting to miss out on the legendary sunday night was the reason for the delay in Jack getting it X rayed!! Also a big thank you to everyone who helped at the section and who have been asking after him. On a positive note he thinks because he now cant write hes in for an easy time at school next week!!!
August 28, 200718 yr Saw Jack tonight whilst out practicing at Raydon in Suffolk, he seemed in good spirits, he lives very close to me and is a great young lad. get well soon mate, hope you aint out of action for to long.
August 29, 200718 yr spoke to jack and his dad mark last night at raydon there going to see brian simpson today to see if he can speed up the healing process as he has done for many top motorcyclists from motogp to british mx good luck jack
August 30, 200718 yr Author thanks guys Jack went to see Brian Simpson yesterday. He had electro magnetic treatment then it was on with the dark glasses for the laser treatment. he also measured up the unswollen left hand for a brace (when you cut the plan out and turn it over it should be the same as the right) as he wasnt happy with the plaster cast that nearly goes up to his elbow. He said that he should be able if all goes well to help the healing process but is non commital at this stage. Certainly a totally different approach from the NHS and it will be interesting to see how it goes
August 30, 200718 yr I trust he's not having any trick parts fitted as he's tooooo good allready!!! Get well soon from Team Heane
