The other thread didn't go into much detail so i guess here it is
Dspong was at booters bash in california shooting with rage films. apparantly yesterday there was a big gap and he was going to gunnea it. he came up short breaking 3 or 4 ribs, did something to his spleen (his bro said they wern't sure)He also ripped 2 out of 3 layers of the aorta...for those of you that don't know what that is, its the pump to your heart and basically if you tear all 3 your dead. Dspong had heart surgery yesterday, I'm not exactly sure what Evan (his bro) told me if there was a 90% chance of him being paralyzed, i was in to much shock to even remember. I was lucky enough to talk to derek not long after he got out of surgery and he sounded great for the condition's he was in.

Dspong, your the man bro, stay strong!

I'm hopeing i'll talk to him again tonight so i can give another little update. wish him the best!

i heard about it yesterday from my friend in her room, i was almost crying. spong is an amazing young skiing and he works so hard. he is such the little brother to everyone. ha just thinking about him i remember a bf of mine trying to help him find a girl so he could lose his vcard! ha!!
spong is such an amazing kid, i really hope he pulls through this, our sport needs such a strong passionate lil kid, he is the future of our sport.
I hope you get well soon spong and you make it though all of this okay. and i hope evan and the rest of the family make it through this hard time aswell.

GOOD NEWS!: Derek had an MRI today to look at his back cause they wern't sure if he did anything to his vertebre's. turns out there wasn't anything wrong. I also said I wasn't sure if he did anything to his spleen and his brother made it sound like there was a small cut. Heres the good news: He should be able to get up and walk around tomorrow
