On February 11th, 2006, James Marshall was tragically injured in round 6 of the Amp'd Mobile Supercross series in San Diego. Running in 5th place in Heat #2, James went over the bars through a tricky step up--step down combination and was subsequently hit by two trailing riders. The impact of the incident left Marshall with broken C2, C5, and C6 vertebrate and a broken pelvis. James was instantly paralyzed and is currently in the ICU at Sharp Memorial Hospital. We are all praying for a miracle and a full recovery.
Marshall has been a rising star throughout the industry for the past several months as he has consistently been one of the fastest privateers in the supercross series. A true privateer, James and his mechanic Dave have worked hard each week preparing for every race. We here at MXSponsor.com found him only a few weeks before the opening round of the supercross series and offered him a ride with our Privateer Shuttle -- a program to help privateers compete in the supercross series. Not only is James incredibly fast on a dirt bike, he is also an incredible human being. He has a tremendous fan base across the country (especially in his home state of Texas) and possesses charisma, integrity, and an enthusiasm that is infectious. All of our stomachs and hearts dropped as we saw the crash. This website is purposed to unite all of James' supporters in providing up-to-date information on his condition, links to donate to his recovery fund, forums and message board links, as well as thoughts and prayers and more. We support you James, we are praying for you, and we are pulling for you!
