I just got an update from Kelly McGarry and it appears he’s out of commission for a little bit due to a serious slam he’s taken (I’m not allowed to show you photos). But he sent these two photos which I can show you, and I thought we’d have a little competition with this first one. If you can tell us how the dirt got on Tom’s shoulder then you could win yourself a set of Troy Lee gloves thanks to Blueshark. Put your answers in the comment field and I’ll draw a winner on Friday. (You gotta be in NZ.)

Looks like he might have brushed a tree with the point of his shoulder. Really f-kn hurts when that happens [incorrect – Ed]
