The Action Sports Medicine Foundation is a 501(c )3 non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance the quality and availability of sports medicine to athletes participating in action sports. The foundation was formed in 2003 by Dr. Steve Augustine, and is based out of Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, Florida. Our desire is to become a quality resource for athletes who are looking to receive sports medicine on site services, and for the various health care workers who are looking to provide these services. The primary sports that we will be serving are motocross, BMX, skateboarding, wakeboarding and surfing. Within this population, we will focus on the amateur athlete. Our goal is to enhance the level of on site medical care at the grass roots level. In so doing, we can develop a healthier and better conditioned group of athletes, thus enabling them to maximize their capabilities and participation in their chosen sports. Secondarily, we feel confident that we can raise the level of understanding of these sports within the medical community, thus enabling other health care practitioners to better deal with the needs of this unique group of athletes. Please visit the websites www.asmfjax.com and www.joionline.net.

The Road 2 Recovery Foundation is a 501-(c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to helping injured professional motocross athletes. Our goal at the Road 2 Recovery would be to become large enough to completely provide for a rider for the duration of their life if they are unable to generate revenue again. We can strive towards this goal with the help of everyone in the motocross community who is passionate about this sport. The Road 2 Recovery is out there to make our sport a better safer place. www.road2recovery.com

Shock Doctor is the manufacturer of the Eject System used by ASMF and others around the nation. You’d never think of racing a car or motorcycle without a helmet. You shouldn’t think of wearing a helmet without the Eject Helmet Removal System by Shock Doctor installed either. The simple device is so small and lightweight it does not change the fit and feel of your helmet -- you’ll never know it’s there. The Eject Emergency Helmet Removal System helps prevent further neck and spine injuries of crash victims. When any type of cervical spine injury is suspected, first responders can easily remove the helmet without causing further unwanted movement to the victim’s head or neck. The system is so highly lauded that the AMA (American Motorcycle Assoc.) and the IRL (Indy Racing League) now require it for all licensed professional riders and drivers.

The Eject helmet removal device is a small bladder that sits inside your helmet. Following a crash the bladder is easily inflated by a trained EMT/first responder by using a CO2 cartridge, lifting the helmet from your head reducing the risk of further aggravating any potential neck injury.
