Christian Gagnon Recovering From Backflip ATV Crash

Christian frightens a local seagull shortly before his backflip attempt
United Kingdom (10/24/06) - After the worrying crash in front of over 15,000 fans at Saturday’s opening day of the Weston Beach Race, H Bomb Squad freestyle rider Christian Gagnon is making good progress in hospital in Weston-super-Mare. The 29 year old French Canadian, who crashed heavily while attempting a 360 degree flip on a quad, has a broken leg and sprained wrist. He will be undergoing an operation to have the bones plated today (Monday), and all being well he should be flown home to Montreal on Wednesday.

It appears the crash was due to a combination of factors, but was mostly down to the damp conditions on and around the ramp which left Christian a little short on speed. Despite the crash he is in great spirit and has one eye on Weston 07 !! Speaking from his hospital bed Christian said, “I am looking forward to coming back to Weston next year for the 25th anniversary, and completing the jump I started this year.”
