BMX star TJ Lavin, the host of MTV’s The Challenge, was taken to a Las Vegas hospital on Thursday after a botched stunt left the extreme sport star with brain swelling and other extensive injuries.

Lavin crashed his bike when attempting a jump during the Sin City “Dew Tour” event, a tour sponsored by Mountain Dew.

TJ, 33, was rushed to University Medical Center where he was immediately put into a medically induced coma in the hopes of allowing his body to repair itself and to avoid the extreme pain his injuries would have provided him.
