@Truth Is In Nature absolutely. I blame big pharma 100% they see us all as cattle and dollar signs. Just wait until they try to pump us all full of this fucking covid vaccine. I'm not interested in participating in population control. I raced from 8-21 yrs old and at 15 head a compound fracture of my tib/fib and was on and off opiates ever since. I'm over a year with no opiates at all and I still haven't come completely out of the haze. I had a pro license when I was 17-18 and I'll never know what could have been if I had never touched an opiate. They took the best years of my life. If you think it's not a problem ask Hill, ask stroupe ask izzi and in my opinion since the arm injury ask fucking Ken roczen.

Weston Wright no prob

Kicked the opiates after a multi year addiction. I was about an hour away from home riding with a buddy on our 450 race ATVs and I was a beginner on any off-road machines at the time besides riding a mountain bike at 25mph maybe. Crashed at about 15 mph and didn't have any protective gear besides a helmet. Crash caused my lower back to have a bulging disc. But it did help me get pumped to go open my own biz and I needed it to do work and it helped me make good money so that's what made it way harder to get off

Really interesting to read about the opiate problem in motocross and sad that there isn't anything done. In horse racing in the UK we have the Injured Jockeys fund which helps injuried jockeys to rehab after injuries but have also helps riders here with addictions (less opiates as UK it's far harder to get presribed the stonger pain meds than it is in the US) maybe a charity or something needs setting up specifically for injured and/or addicted moto riders...

Snapped my wrist at Perris Raceway, went to the doctor and they gave me two things. An external fixture and 50 norco’s a week for a month. They did the job but became physically addicted and detoxing was tough.

Hill talkin bout the opiates hit home bad. 24 operations and 18yrs later im a full blown addict and destroyed my life, im 52. Prior to any injuries and severe nerve pain i didnt do drugs. I became victim of the opiate epidemic when doctors gave large amounts of oxycodone 30's and 80mg oxycontin 80's. Just a terrible deal

Opiates are a really serious thing for the motor cross community, that’s why my dad had to stop racing before his third year. Even I was put on a prescription for oxy multiple times and I’m not even 17 yet, if they keep giving them out like they’re, more careers will be ruined.

"once you dont need weed you just stop" god damn aint that the truth. The hardest part is reformatting any habits youve developed like constant oversnacking, or too much youtube/tv/video games. leaning off weed now that ive been using for my 4 fractured transverse processes. today, i decided to only smoke in the morning and fix some motorcycles today. no heavy sweats, no shakes, no anxiety. after a month all day every day high, ive had a nice productive day sober :-)

I have a cut nerve from a botched hernia surgery. It sends electric shocks 24/7 as it wants to. Such a crazy pain. medical marijuana products helps more than anything.

Funniest story I've heard in a long time! Only Josh could pull that off... Great interview!!

Nerve pain IS THE WORST bro! Opiates are vicious but like he said they have their place but it has to be administered under very controlled circumstances and taken off equally as cautious. It’s incredibly wrong how they treat these guys these days with SERIOUS injuries. Hope they have a better program these days.

I was in BMX in the 90’s and in general opiates were prescribed way to much. At the dentist if yer tooth was pulled you got a bottle of 30 pills. Yet it was the kids fault if he got strung out by the time he was 24. I can only imagine in MX what it was like. Opiates are tough and once yer in yer struggling for years. Hats of to this discussion of black balling Gypsy

In Steve defense, he doesnt talk crap about a kid. he talks crap about the system and how factorys dump money in to a ameteur and when they turn pro they just change team. And all that money could go to a real pro.

Any sport where young kids get hurt your gonna know what pain killers are at a young age. I know all about it. Broken over 32 bones in my life and i love pain killers. But like he said lock yourself in a room for a week. Sweat it out. Iv sweated it out a million times and i would always go back for more. I got 4 years clean last month. Weeds the way to go.

Good job 👍🏻

You da man!!!

Dude Josh your right! Im sitting here with a broke back my surgeon said we can get through this on without surgery! His words “ but this is not an insignificant break you are 50/50 surgery or no surgery but let’s try healing with no surgery it’s a T5 T6 fracture and compression! And a rib I cased a double hands came off the bards flew off! So I’m sitting here broken back but 8 days out of ICU I had to get a pain killer refill! The fucking surgeons offfice is like nope we only give pain meds if you had surgery! I was still not sleeping in bed up all night with pain levels at 6-7 and these fuckers were afraid to prescribe pain pills! Thank God I knew a doctor that was about to look at the scenario and give me a couple weeks worth! To get me through I’m fine now only take 1 a week maybe if I do too much and get soar! But these doctors lost their damn minds 7 days out of ICU broken back I assure you it’s ok to prescribe pain meds nobody is questioning that!

My second bad one was L2 , my tailbone and a foot and was ready to get off meds to get back riding. My last was a C2,C6,C7, andT1 and had a three level spinal fusion and I was still in the hospital and nurse was trying to give me a Darvocet N100 while I still had a IV in. Luckily I was ready to heal up and adapted but I blamed all of the drug attics for screwing it up for everybody. I do look at things different now and with all my nerve pain and headaches weed does help. Really like my neck hurt so damn bad that no pain meds helped it just got my mind out of it. But I can calm down on weed. I do feel for my buddies that get caught up on it but I really only hang out with Moto guys that can relate. I retired now and all I do is skydive now. It's a lot safer. I miss racing Moto but I stay involved in it. I actually fly over Chad Reed's house all the time and dream about. I do think weed is better than alcohol all day long!!!!! Injuries are gonna happen. I have had over a dozen surgeries through the years. And I still wouldn't change a thing. I always dreamed of making a million but instead I made a million for the Dr! But those Drs did put me back together!!
