Mark Augustine severly injured

[Paul Danik]

A number of you over the years have gotten to know Mark Augustine, he has ridden KTM's for many years and was a KTM dealer at one time.  Mark was very severely injured last Sunday while trail riding.  He was leading a group of riders and somehow collided with a quad, the force of the impact broke Mark's KTM in half. Mark was life flighted out and the list of his injuries is quite extensive, his condition is very serious.

Mark is the younger brother of my best friend and mentor Bob Augustine who passed away at VMD a number of years ago during the moto-cross.

I hate to hear about this. My greatest fear is oncoming traffic on trails. I will not ride somewhere that has two way trails, but even then it can happen.

From what I understand the collision occurred on a turn on a railroad right of way along side a set of railroad tracks, as many of you know those are usually traveled at a fairly good clip. A perfect storm set of circumstances.

Mark is in very good physical condition and hopefully the situation will improve.
