Bad luck for Luke Burhart – the kiwi speedstar recently has broke his collar bone during a practice session, dealing a severe blow to his plans for the upcoming AMA Motocross season.
Luke was riding at a track called milestone and had quite a big crash, the end result was a badly broken collarbone. This has devastating blow to his USA campaign is a majour understatement. He landed at a funny angle leaving one of his wheels off the side of the down ramp of a double and high sided. He hit the ground super hard and immediately felt the crack in his shoulder. He apparently got up off the ground and knew straight away what he had done.
He broke his collar bone in several places where it was bad enough that it almost poked out of the skin, He is booked in today to with a doctor to reian in Temeclua for surgery. They will plate the collarbone and I should be back riding in four weeks. Doctor reiman is the go to guy for motocross riders in southern California so he should be in good hands.
Luke Burkhart goes on to say “this is a very tough break for me mentally as well as physically but as you all know our sport can be cruel. We will now re-evaluate and look at changing our schedule to do some races a bit later in the championship. To all my sponsors and supporters that have got me to this point I will be doing my best to get back out there doing what I do best.” He concluded.
