Tara Llanes suffered serious injury after a bad crash at the Jeep King of the Mountain race at Beaver Creek on September 1. Tara landed on her head and back and she's currently paralyzed from the waist down. Her coach, James Herrera, shared <a href="http://www.bicycling.com/article/1,6610,s1-6-12-16417-1,00.html">a great article</a> about Tara and her ongoing recovery on Bicycling.com that is definitely worth checking out.

I'd liken professional mountain bikers to Indie rockers - always on the road, not much recognition, and a paltry paycheck (if any). Even the best riders with sponsorships have a tough time making a decent living and you won't see any of these guys or gals on MTV Cribs.

Most people don't realized it but becoming a professional mountain biker is not a very lucrative career choice. I'd liken professional mountain bikers to Indie rockers - always on the road, not much recognition, and a paltry paycheck (if any). Even the best riders with sponsorships have a tough time making a decent living and you won't see any of these guys or gals on MTV Cribs. Most of a professional mountain biker's pay comes in the form of loving what they do, but that don't pay the bills.
