CHESTER, S.D. (AP) The phrase “caught in a rut” has a unique meaning for a Chester farmer whose life was radically changed last July. Normally, it means someone is stuck in a boring lifestyle.
Justin Minnaert, a champion in dirt bike racing, was always a bit of a daredevil. The rut that caught him and slammed him to the ground was a rain rut at a local track.
He and his dad were checking the track following a race at a local club. He took a jump he’d made 100 times before, but that time, he hit the rut, went down and the bike hit his back.
