The guys from Carli Suspension sent me some pics & the story on them recovering Josh. I'll let them post up their pics & story.

BTW-awesome job guys but, still dumb founded why no racers stopped to try & recover him. Especially the ones not after 1st place or a points championship.

heres our little part on it. http://carlisuspension.blogspot.com/ not sure why no one stopped?? that why it took a little while for us to get over there, we figured someone would have stopped and took the 5-10 minuets out of there day to help you out. but either way, glad we were able to get you out of that nasty situation and back in the game. Congrats on the 3rd place even after all of that!!!!!

"BTW-awesome job guys but, still dumb founded why no racers stopped to try & recover him.

From the Carli Suspension Blog - nice jobs helping out boys, we were listening to the drama unfold all the way out in Borrego:

First of all I would like to say THANK YOU to the guys from Carli and everyone else that helped us finish the race! I was told that I was about 80 miles out in front when the unthinkable happened! There at the top of a up hill climb were some huge bolders blocking the course forcing you to the cliff side that was placed there by some AMERICANS!!!!!! When we came to a stop and I got one of the A$$ HOLES to come over to try and help me he said "what do you want me to do?" I asked "Can you pull me out?" His reply was "we dont have a truck were just hanging out here on our motorcycles and quads" I told him " well can you ride back down or up the course and get someone to pull us out!" He told me " let me see if one of the guys will go" AND FOR 2 1/2 HOURS THEY DIDNT GO ANYWHERE TO FIND HELP!!!!! Can you f$^@ing belive that? There were 3 small SUV's that passed by two with winches all at different times but none of them could budge my 5000lb race truck! After about 2 hours 618 passed by and shortly after that 600 passed by and then the CARLI POSSE ROLLED IN TO SAVE THE DAY! I cant tell you guys how dissapointed I was to see about 8 americans on bikes stand there and do nothing to help. After I went off the side of the cliff the same A@@ holes rolled the bolders out of the way of the course. It took 3 guys just to roll them, thats how big they were. Well thats my short story and to all the racers out there, REMEMBER its not just the locals that are trying to get you hurt or even killed! Im just glad that no one was hurt and we still finished 3rd. Congrats to GAVIN for the win and to Heide for 2nd place. See you guys at the next one!

PS, one of my guys has a video on his iphone with 2 of the A$$ holes faces! PLEASE POST IT!

We couldn't get ahold of anyone in the truck with the radio so I checked my cell phone and I had service. I had to text people in America to call people in Mexico to get a relay going on the radio.. Then I decided to take some video looking down and two of the guys that rolled the rocks into the course.. I'll have to upload it to YouTube first then I'll post it.!
Again thanks to the carli guys!

Me and my friends were at Erendira @ RM 337 and hearing the emergency call through Weatherman frecuency, we were deciding to go to help you Josh, but I was in a Ranger 2WD truck and we thought it will be useless to help you with that truck... So when someone asked for help in spanish in the Weatherman frecuency, I was trying to guide on the radio the guy who offering to help you but he was at RM 340...a llittle bit far from your location with race traffic coming in... At the end we listen that they were around 2 or 3 truck helping you out.
