Silver Linings: The Amazing Journey of Jessy Nelson

Спорт

In August 2016, Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull KTM star Jessy Nelson suffered a paralyzing injury during a round of the AMA Pro Motocross series. Silver Linings chronicles Jessy’s journey through the most difficult challenge of his life, and his newfound racing motivation in the form of professional UTV racing. His determination for victory unchecked, Jessy tackles life’s next chapter with the same competitive spirit that put him at the top of the motocross food chain.

    Unbelievable that no one ran out there they just stood and watched and video taped. Good ol America. I always help ppl out and half the time don't even get a thank you or they will want even more and take advantage of it.

    Wow, this is a powerful documentary. I remember the day of your horror crash at the outdoors. I caught it on KZread as someone had captured it.....sort of. To see the journey you’ve been on since with the rehabilitation, life change & all the other difficulties you’ve faced & likes be right, you’ve really put in the hard work to be back to enjoying racing, even if it isn’t motocross/supercross, it’s still racing which is your passion. I’ve been watching Us supercross/motocross over here in the UK for a good 25 years & seen some bad accidents, yours didn’t look so bad but, obviously the outcome was so severe, life changing. I believe you will walk again & you will swing your leg over a motocross bike again. Impossible is nothing Jessy. Respect👍🏼

After many accidents and broken stuff people can't understand I still want ride but the truth is that I feel like I am dead when I am not able to ride my life is riding the only way to be free for me. But I am verry happy for him that he find a other way to race its in your blood or not but when you have it there is only one way to be fully happy racing 🤔good luck to you man

    Not only is this video a testament to the human spirit and how it refuses to be broken despite being beaten down and left to die in the muck, but also the importance of having incredible people behind you, whether it's parents, friends, wives, husbands, etc when you're in the process of rebuilding yourself stronger and better than you were before! Also, here's hoping that his upcoming surgery to remove a cyst from his spine is successful and that it helps create a connection in his body to where he regains even more function 'n feeling! This young man is a bad ass and I'll always be a fan!!

    Man, I just had neck surgery 2 1/2 months ago and I was on the rebound until I slipped off a 4 inch high stool which put me back to square one. I was so bummed out until I watched this, while the pain is intense, i'm still walking and i'm grateful for that. Jesse's attitude is inspiring and the people he has around him are genuine human beings. The sponsors could've all moved on to the next guy, but they still helped out where they could which say's a lot about their values. Thank you for the inspiration bro, and all the best for 2019.

Life has challenges for alot of people..myself included, but you gotta fight thru it. So Thank You for that reminder here. I Hope to see you again sometime, and all the Best to you, Emily and your family.
