Bad bone.

MOTORIZED MAYHEM MARRED THE EMERICA TEAM THIS month, starting with a vicious motorcycle wreck that left Bryan Herman with a bone-through-the-skin compound fracture, and, in a separate incident, ending with Heath Kirchart getting hit by a car while crossing the road. Herman's already on the mend and Heath scored a broken collarbone and a tweaked knee, but expects to make a full recovery as well.

In other Emerica news, Tosh Townend is now riding for Element footwear, alongside Mike Vallely, Brent Atchley, Dallas Rockvam, and many more.

Erik Ellington's Supra footwear continues to build the stoke, adding English legend Tom Penny and Baker hot-shoe Antwuan Dixon, formerly of eS. Speaking of eS, look for a signature kick from Valley hot-shot Justin Eldridge sooner rather than later.

Chocolate's Mike York continues to rack up a stable of new sponsors including Grind King trucks, and in a genre-crossing power move, Dekline shoes, where he joins Gareth Stehr, Ben Gilley, and Zarosh Eggleston, among others. Time to grow some hair and get a leather jacket, Mike.

If you thought that was as much shoe news as could possibly happen in a 30-day period, think again, as Gailea Momolu has signed on with Osiris and KOTR superman Silas Baxter-Neal inked a sweet deal with DVS.
