Oakley and Monster Energy are throwing a video premier for On The Pipe 5 this wednesday the 11th. it is FREE! it is also going to be a fundraiser for Jeremy to help for the cost to get him back home. I know everyone is hurting from the economy and we are not asking much...if enough people show up and everyone puts in $5...it could add up and go along way. Niki D, Twitch, and I are going for sure and im sure every big name mx rider that is in town will be there to show support for our friend in need. so PLEASE...tell everyone you know...and just make it out to see another sick video for an extremely good cause.

JEREMY LUSK FUND RAISING INFORMATION
An emergency fund to help defer the costs of Jeremy Lusk's medical care has already been established and is set up to take donations immediately.
Through the quick-moving efforts of the Athlete Recovery Fund, those interested in making a donation may do so by visiting http://www.athleterecoveryfund.com and clicking on the “make a donation” button. All donations made through this website, starting TODAY, are earmarked directly for Jeremy Lusk's care!
Financial arrangements are being put into place to pay for the Medi-Vac international air transportation that Jeremy will need once he is stable and can be transferred to a leading United States-based Head Trauma Center.
It is likely that these funds will be needed within the next few days; therefore immediate donations are certainly appreciated.
The Athlete Recovery Fund was established in 2007 and its function is to provide professional athletes in BMX, FMX and Skate Boarding with financial support after severe injury and granting funds for rehabilitation, equipment, long-term disability and educational scholarships.
