Guys, I will be unavailable for at least the next week due to the passing of a life long friend. He lost his life Thursday afternoon in a snowmobile accident by Mercer Wisconsin. I have been riding with him since I was a little kid and he was one of the most skilled riders I have ever known. 4 of my other close friends were with him when he lost control coming into a corner and became airborn and struck a tree in the mid section of his body. I got the news as I was loading up to go meet the group for the weekend. He lived 2 1/2 hours after the accident. He was med flighted to Marshfield Hospital where they operated on him removing his spleen and half of his pancreas. He aslo had a collapsed lung and torn small and large intestines. They sewed him back up and he was recovering when they noticed something not right in a scan. They had to go back in to see what was going on. It turns out his aorta had a small tear which lead to his stomach. The doctors did all they could but when they released the clamp to re start blood to his heart, his heart rejected it.

I have been riding for 35 years and never had to bury a friend but will be doing so on Tuesday. Please say a prayer for his family. His name is Dean Judd and is from Sauk City, WI.

I also plead to you all to go out and buy yourself a Tek-Vest and communicators. He was wearing a Tek-Vest, but was very small on him and did not cover his lower abdomen area.

The next time you are riding, please stay out of the bar and do not ride beyond your means. The terror that my core group of friends is living with has got to be horrible. Please everyone, RIDE SAFE!!!!!!!!
 
Blue, You and his family and friends will be in our prayers. It always hurts most when its close to home. Take care, and condolences. Maxdlx
 
So sorry to hear. May the ones that feel the grief most keenly be comforted the most.
 
Reminds us all how quickly life can change. Best wishes to his friends and family. Please all be careful on the trails, a mistake made can be your last.

It saddens me to here of such a loss. I have not ever had to bury any good friend and I hope I don't have to anytime soon. I can only imagine what you and his family are going thru. I will keep you and your friends family in my thought and prayers.

my condolences matt, he and his family are in my thoughts and prayers, as are you. I lost a couple good friends last year and have found myself thinking "they wouldn't want me to be that upset about it, they'd want me to get on with life and live it to it's fullest extent, so now I'm gonna live for me and them both"

it's helped alot with the rough year I had last year.

condolences man, and if there's anything I can do you know how to get ahold of me.
 
Sorry for your loss matt , We willl be thinking of you and your friends ...
