Anthony Napolitan Breaks Jaw

Anthony Napolitan Breaks Jaw
Anthony Napolitan went down hard earlier today and broke his jaw. Here is the info straight from him:

"It happened while on a road trip with AMP Energy. I fell doing a whip air about 7 to 8 feet out of an 8ft cement quarter. I cased just a little bit and it sent me over the bars. I have 5 stitches in my chin and it knocked my jaw out of place. I went to the oral facial surgeon today to see what the damage was and, next thing I know, I'm being put under for a 45min surgery. My upper and lower jaw have wires across them, but my jaw is closed shut with a ton of strong rubber bands. I wont miss any contest and I'm planning on going to Canada for the ERA Dirt contest next weekend."

Everyone at Vital wishes Anthony a speedy recovery!
