GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Snowmobile star Caleb Moore remains in critical condition after a crash at the Winter X Games in Aspen.

A publicist for the family issued statement Tuesday thanking fans, friends and family for their support and asked for continued prayers.

The 25-year-old was performing a flip Thursday when he clipped the top of a jump and went over the handlebars. The snowmobile rolled over him, but he walked off the course with help and went to a hospital with a concussion.

While there, he developed bleeding around his heart and was flown to St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction for surgery.

His family says that Moore then had a secondary complication involving his brain.

We'll continue to keep you updated on his condition.
