Most of you know David's history and dedication to the sport of motocross. You know of his great successes, and also of the great sacrifice that David paid, ultimately ending his career and confining him to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
January 25, 2007:
In recent motocross history, neck injury occurrences have been increasing at an exponential rate. If spinal injuries like those suffered by James Marshall and Ernesto Fonseca in 2006 haven't motivated you to rethink your safety and your safety gear, what will? Maybe seeing semi-gods Ricky Carmichael and Jeremy McGrath also dodge a disaster and having close calls this past year did? Or to really convince you, do we need to display the fate of the dozens of other less-known fallen riders? David Bailey's Full Circle Foundation and ONE Industries have teamed up to start a pro-active program which will help increase awareness in cervical protection. They have decided together to use proceeds from its "Dream Team - David Bailey Maggiora 1986 MXDN DVD" sales, and purchase 100 sets of Leatt-brace™ and distribute those free of charge to 100 lucky winners of a contest. "The concept is simple!" said Ludo Boinnard of ONE Industries. "We can keep doing fundraisers over and over or we can start getting people to use this revolutionary device right now. If you break your back, and lose usage of your legs, you can still have a pretty active life. Look at successful people like PRO-CIRCUIT boss Mitch Payton, Formula ONE team owner Frank Williams just to name a few.... On the other hand if you break your neck and also lose usage of your arms, not only does your life come to a screeching standby, but everybody's lives around you are changed forever as they have to care for you for the rest of your life. Using this brace greatly reduces such risk. We just hope those first 100 braces will have saved riders and their families from such horrible fate. Unfortunately, in our sport, it's not IF YOU WILL CRASH but WHEN YOU WILL CRASH!. Believe me, I've had my share of those!" added Ludo. To enter the contest and win your own LEATT-BRACE™, log on to www.oneindustries.com/win_a_leattbrace (no purchase necessary/ winners chosen at ONE Industries' discretion) fill the questionnaire and see the drawing results march 1st 2007. If any questions or comments, you may email to David Bailey. To find out more on the revolutionary Leatt-brace™, David Bailey's Fullcircle foundation or ONE Industries, please visit :

This star studded event included a benefit auction to help one of the all time motocross greats, followed by Indoor Karting.
Gary Bailey writes: I would like to thank everyone for coming out and supporting the "David Bailey's All-star Extravaganza" held at Cahuilla Creek (ride day) and Pole Position (auction). Since David's accident years ago he has worked tirelessly to help other injured riders. David is going through some really tough time's right now and it means so much to me and my entire family that so many of you are so eager to help out in his time of need. Your response has been overwhelming and is very much appreciated, I cannot thank everyone enough. David's progress is going slowly after being turned down by the hospital in Atlanta. We now have to make a new plan. Hopefully the doctors and insurance will get things going quickly so David can get the treatment he needs to expedite his rode to recovery. I would like to thank Cahuilla Creek and Pole Position for allowing us the use of your facilities. Also, I would like to thank everyone by name that donated their time and worked so hard on this event but unfortunately I do not have enough time or space. Please keep David in your prayers. Gary Bailey
A 'Thank You' from David Bailey: Your donation is already helping me make it to the proper surgeries and through them without the added stress of being ruined financially. My goal is to get healthy and keep thinking of ways to raise money for others in need as well as helping as best I can with their physical hardships. Thank you for your support and for giving Full Circle the momentum to make a difference! Kind Regards David Bailey
