They were able to close his skull, the swelling went down enough!
Now it is just a healing process.
If they can air-vac him out it will be to Miami with the family, hopefully by end of week.

WOW! That's great news...much better than the 3rd hand info I got. Don't ask me how is neck isnt broken....chit wasnt meant to bend like that! I hope for a full recovery
That was probably one of the nastiest things I have ever seen! Stuff like that makes me want to sell my bike! I wish I would not have watched that video - beware!
l was reading he also did not have health insurance.If thats true thats damn crazy,first jiri dostal and now lusk,i think all pros doing contests and races need to have some type of health coverage
Same here Coobie, how did he NOT break his neck?? At regular video speed you couldn't tell it was that bad
Slow mo was horrible
Slow mo was horrible
I saw this yesterday...and I'm still at a loss for words...
All I can come up with is the entire situation is sad. I hope Jeremy can recover and lead a normal life.

12:35 AM, February 10, 2009
Freestyle motocross star Jeremy Lusk, 24, has died as a result of head injuries sustained in a weekend crash during a competition in Costa Rica, and it's with a heavy heart that Outposts shares this news.
The Temecula rider passed away in his hospital bed late Monday night in San Jose, Costa Rica, while surrounded by his mother and father, Chuck and Gina Lusk; his wife Lauren, and mother- and father-in-law Lynne and Larry, along with fellow Metal Mulisha riders Brian Deegan, Ryan Hagy, Cameron Steele and Erik Apple.
Please keep Lusk and his family in your thoughts and prayers. He did his best to live life to its fullest and entertain, and for that his many fans are deeply appreciative.
An announcement on a memorial service is pending.

How terribly sad. RIP Jeremy 
It is with great sadness that we report Jeremy Lusk succumbed to his injures tonight at 11:03pm PST. He was surrounded by his loving Mother and father, Chuck & Gina Lusk, his wonderful wife Lauren, his mother and father in law Lyne & Larry along with his closest Mulisha friends Brian Deegan, Ryan Hagy, Cameron Steele & Erik Apple.
