I broke my back, over jumped FMX ramp. Still suffering from it years later. Story hits hard.

I’m 29 waiting to have my 2nd cervical fusion from a DH MTB and man guys like this make me feel so much better that neck and back surgery sucks but it isn’t the end that you can keep going and fight through it that there is still a good life after you fight through it

I rode fmx professionally and broke my back in 4 places in 2014. I tried to keep going with fmx after that but it was never the same and I would hesitate and get stressed out. Thats when I knew I was over it. My crash is here on youtube.

A spinal injury is the one injury that actually terrifies me. I've had every other broken bone, and you can recover from those "easily" but a spinal injury is 99.9% of the time a death sentence (exaggeration but when you can't do action sports anymore it's like a death)

Don't sacrifice living just to survive to nursing home age. If riding is what gives you vigor, do it.

Crazy story , I think It would be cool of you to interview Jamie Brockman, would be a crazy story I would like to hear.

The pioneers had it rough, im lucky to grow as a snowboarder with the knowledge of these guys so that something like this never happens to me

Wow that is heavy. I had a pretty bad crash on a dirtbike at 18. Brain bleed and cracked T4. I broke my wrist too. Broke my neck brace. Imf I ever get to have kids, I'm gonna be involved in their riding at that age range big time.

Grew up watching crustys, huevos, riding 8 hours a day with all my buds. As hard as we could go for years, I count my lucky starts every day! We all had many crashes, I had one where I hit so hard my straps on my helmet broke, hit a concrete culvert after losing it on a sketch jump and had one insane concussion! My bike was destroyed, but was able to limp it home Parents gone to work, nobody around except my friends, I had such a bad concussion that I forgot what happened like 7 times that day. I say 7 cause that’s about how many times I called my friend to ask what happened to my bike lol

That is so rough.

Pops had a nasty crash during his first moto a few years back. Concussion so bad I couldn’t even keep track of the times he kept coming back into consciousness before going out again (around 7-10+) he would ask the EMT the exact same questions on a minute loop or so. This was roughly 10-20 minutes after the initial crash, being stretchered and neck braced and lifted into the ambulance. Nose bleed, ears bled. Cracked the shell and ruined the inside of a new Shoei. Thankful he’s still around today. I give him shit for his bad memory and blame it on that crash.

YES!when I broke my back I had them check to see if there was a rock there under my armor

Bruhhhh how do you so some of these injury podcast im at home and im squirming in my chair when i hear something like my neck was bobbing around connected to nothing ahhhh so gross

WOW

Wheres the rest of the story?!

Brutal as fuck thats terrifying

Mid pack C riders sand bagging the beginner class's thinking they're destroying guys. Lmao. Meanwhile they're crashing because they have zero technique to be able to go fast and sketchy beyond belief. I was a fast B rider in moto but also racing AA in the woods, I'd rather get last in the A class than ride with C riders even though I can smoke those guys. They're so sketchy out the gate and never hold a line so you'll he committed up a face and these dumbass's will take your line and won't even jump it. That's how people die lmao. I always hated local tracks... I'd show up before it was open, ride until the track was baked by mid afternoon and be gone before the majority of the local C class heroes showed up 🤣

Jesus dude! Fuuuck...

This is a bit tame when compared to the career-ending crash of Mike Healey (wet MX practice track in Italy, step-down jump, awkward takeoff, bike lands on him, they find him bleeding from basically every hole located above the neck, everyone assumed he was dead, they picked him up and prepared him to be confirmed dead, wakes up with his head covered by a blanket, coughs up some blood... and he's still alive to this day!)

@@GYPSYTALES - I mentioned a MX rider that literally died (no pulse and no breathing), that woke up while surrounded by people around him crying, but he didn't, he just had to cough up a huge blood clot. Travis Pastrana, Danny Way and many others have been temporarily paralyzed and had almost detached their spines... Now tell me about the pro athletes you know that have basically died yet survived, that's wayyy gnarlier.

Not to take anything away from his gnarly story. But I have alot crazier one that even involves medical record cover ups, lawyers and alot of wicked stuff!

I can't barely watch this. Josh needs to speak up for one and for 2 his Gd accent is so strong I can barely make out what he is saying. It really is the Alabama of the world.
