Josh Frederick crashed at the Lake Havasu WORCS race. He broke his back, underwent long and complicated surgery, and as of this posting has yet to recover feeling in his legs. The accident only happening a few days ago, they have obviously not exhausted all options for Josh’s recovery. The ATV world is holding its collective breath for Josh and his family. They are thinking, hoping, and praying for Josh to have a full recovery. “The Animal” of ATV racing is more than a badass on a four wheeler. He’s the stuff legends are made of, but honestly Josh is just an incredibly skilled and talented rider who came from a humble ATV start and worked day and night to achieve his dreams and goals, and it showed on the track. To top it off, he’s a nice family guy and a role model.
So it’s incredibly poor timing and just downright unfair for a man of his caliber to be in the hospital now with an uncertain future in the sport we all love!
We are pleased to be posting this instead of the alternative however, so it’s not all bad. I don’t think Josh is the type of guy to give up. Even if a full recovery is currently out of reach – and changes in modern medicine and science may change that – Josh is going to continue to be all the things he currently is – a nice guy, a devout father, a loving husband, and man who works hard to achieve his dreams and goals, and hopefully there’s a place in the industry for him after he recovers.
