There is a benefit going on for our good friend Mike Vincent in Portland on March 22nd. Mike was in a horrible bike accident when he was hit by a car on his way to work. Check out more info about Mike, his accident, the benefit and how you can help after the jump.

Mike Vincent is a son, a friend, and an all around great guy. He played a prominent figure in the sport of BMX, initially as a rider and recently as a judge in all major and endemic competitions. He is a regular figure at all Los Angeles road and track bike gatherings. He is a professional golf caddy. He also somehow manages to donate his time to the local animal shelter. On January 18, while riding his bicycle to work he was struck by a car and sustained major head trauma along with many other bodily injuries. Last week we passed the 50-day mark since the accident, which included three weeks in ICU, four brain surgeries, and an endless emotional rollercoaster for all involved. His initial results to treatment were very promising, yet the past couple of procedures have not yielded the same results.

Here are some ways you can help:
