It was reported last night that Supermoto Champion Doug Henry had a bad practice crash in New Smyrna, Florida where he broke his back and couldn't feel his legs. Henry was taken to a hospital in Daytona where he underwent surgery last night.

Our latest update says that Henry's back was in fact broken, and the fracture was in the same spot he broke it in 1997. The surgery reportedly went well, and Henry now has regained a little bit of feeling in his legs.

Truly sickening. Doug is indeed a mountain among men. I pray that this turns out as well as it possibly can.

Doug Henry is one of my favorites and I hated to read this.

I hope it's better than it sounds.

That's crazy man. I mean, Doug Henry has always been one of my favorite riders. I sure hope he gets better soon and will still be able to ride.

my heart just dropped into my stomach, i can't beleive it. I'm just stupified; but henry is a machine, he's beat this before and he can do it again. I remember seeing him riding a little scooter around in a video during his first recovery and you knew everything was going to be ok, i can't wait to see him back

Wow, I hope he heals up fully. He is one tough man.

An update from [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Doug Henry underwent surgery yesterday to relieve pressure from his broken T12 vertebra with doctors calling the surgery a success, according to Yamaha personnel in Florida.

The good news is that Henry suffered no spinal cord injury in his Supermoto practice crash on Sunday and he currently has feeling in the pelvis/hip area, but has yet to regain feeling in his legs.

The T12 injury is just above the area that Henry broke in his famous Budds Creek crash of 1997.

Yamaha reports that the three-time AMA National Motocross Champion and his wife are in good spirits following the surgery.
