Ox Injured During His Rip To The Tip With Desert Assassins Family

POSTED BY:  FidelGonzales Friday, 29 April 2011 12:32
One of the ultimate live fast and go fast guys amid the extreme sports lifestyle, SuperLite Championship driver Jeff "Ox" Kargola, crossed the Mexican border on his quest to conquer the annual Rip To The Tip with Cameraon Steele and the Desert Assassins family. Unfortunately, on day two of the rigorous dirt bike jaunt down south of the border, heading toward San Felipe, Ox crashed his motorcycle in a high speed whoop section and was flown to a San Felipe hospital, according to a late morning day two report from the Rip To The Tip website.

Just last month, aboard a Johnny Campbell Racing Honda CRF450X, Ox teamed with Colton Udall to take his second consecutive win at the SCORE San Felipe 250. We hope to see him back behind the handlebars winning races and performing backflips and once again back behind the wheel of his General Tire SuperLite truck at Glen Helen Raceway for the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series Round 5 and 6 race next month.

"Just in from the trail…Jeff “OX” Kargola has taken a pretty gnarly crash on the trail. He is okay, alert and has been checked out by our medics. Kargola is being transported by the Rip helicopter to San Felipe just to be 100% he is all good.        * 11AM UPDATE: Chase crew, Fast Eddie, just called in reporting he is on the way to the airport in San Felipe to meet the helo carrying OX. Jesse Beck, LA City Fire Paramedic, and second medic on the Rip have checked him out and report that he is alert. They are requesting for ambulance to transport Ox from the airport to the San Felipe hospital to be checked out by the Doctor. We will keep you updated with this situation but to be clear Ox is alert and responding to medics, he will be okay."
