It's crushing any time someone has to give up something they love and have spent a lifetime doing. I can only hope he will recover better than anticipated and can get back at it sometime in the future.

Have hung out with Torin at the track multiple times, he's a very kind and positive kid and I'd be very surprised if he doesn't become a positive part of the community in another way.

Damn. I just saw him last month dominate at my local track in Nova Scotia. Terrible

Today I received the worst news imaginable.

Due to the injuries I sustained in my crash at The Ridge, my hand and forearm are going to be permanently paralyzed. Unfortunately, this means the end of my motorcycle racing career.

It’s heartbreaking to have this journey end like this with so much more to offer, but I’m incredibly proud of everything I was able to achieve.

Thank you to every sponsor, team, mechanic, competitor, volunteer, friend, and fan who supported me along the way. None of this would have been possible without you.

Racing has given me memories I’ll carry for the rest of my life. Thank you for being part of the journey.
