BOOTHY'S RACING COMEBACK | Learning To Ride With A Prosthetic Leg 

I must be becoming a right proper sap. I’m seating here watching and listening to Boothy with a proper lump in my throat and not afraid to say a little tear of pride. Never thought I’d see another video like this from Boothy 12 months ago…and he’s the chillest of the lot.

This time last year I was in an induced coma for three week, due to sepsis. I’m now 4 weeks without a walking stick, every day a little better. Boothy gave me the ‘fuck you, I’m not giving up’ attitude to my recovery. Cheers mate, big kiss!

To complete in a BSB support race is hard enough, but to do it with one leg, a year after such an awful, life changing crash is something else. Well done Boothy. Great video. Oh. Yeah 😊

“We’ve already had to do some running repairs to the leg to make sure it doesn’t drop off”. Guaranteed never said it a paddock before 😂 big love Boothy

We all love you Boothy! What a guy, true inspiration Dont lose your prozzy

I was the victim of a smidsy just before your accident. I kept my leg thanks to half a hundred weight of titanium, although some days I wish I hadn’t. You’ve no idea how important this is for me to see. Thanks mate…. Genuinely! ❤️

A year off, comes back with a leg missing and still qualifies for the main race, absolutely brilliant young man. Well done.

What Boothy has achieved in such a short time is unbelievable. Can't see anyone disagreeing with that.

The man with the biggest plums in the paddock what a hero ❤

Good to see boothy back where he belongs 😊

The amount of love in these comments for Boothy. Simply fantastic! 👏

Much Respect Boothy. 💪🔥

Even non bike fans will enjoy this video purely because of the passion and determination. Great to see you back Boothy

Yours was the main event I was watching for on the Eurosport coverage Boothy. Congratulations on a fantastic performance and the onboard footage really shows how hard you were on the brakes. Just hope that Perkins can get his race licence together and that'll be all three of you on it!

Nothing but respect for Boothy. Brave and inspirational.

29:42 I'm not crying, you're crying. Absolute legend!

Determination, guts, bravery, respect.... Well done Boothy 👏👏👏

Love this guy Straight talking no nonsense no complaints legend and still faster than most even with a prozy leg awesome job dude

Boothy you absolute legend!!! Words can't describe how in awe I am at your sheer determination, will & humbleness. So happy to see you back in the saddle & enjoying it! It wouldn't have mattered if you binned it, didn't qualify or f*cked up the race but you nailed the entire weekend beyond what anyone would have expected, well done sir! Can't wait to see your progress over the season as you get more comfortable on the bike. You gotta give Al some credit though for setting the bike up for a "fuller rider" shall we say 😂

Mate I’ve know you for a long time and honestly your a fucking legend the way you have got on with life after the accident has been amazing 👊🏻❤️

It may not have made you cry, but there's definitely been waterworks here. This made me so happy. You champ! Thank you for sharing and for being such an inspiration!

Hard to put into words how incredible this video is really. This channel has become something quite special since discovering it thru covid and admittedly I started mostly watching barons content I quickly realised how brilliant al and boothy are too. How this channel isn't the biggest amongst our community is beyond me. It feels like a family and boothys journey has become one of the most heartfelt things I've seen on RU-vid and this comeback makes it all the more sweeter. Congratulations doesn't seem quite enough somehow. I hope you all at the channel realise how much you help others thru times of good and bad. It truly feels like a lil family over here at 44teeth so thank you. And legend gets thrown around far too much these days...but boothy you truly are one

Well done boothy that’s a big achievement

Bloody well done Boothy, a racer is always going to be a racer no matter what👍

Incrediable Boothy! You’re a true British Champion!

Enough respect for ya Boothy, great to see ya back on a bike proper racing 👊

Rider of the day, without doubt! Congrats Boothy! Great to see you enjoying yourself.

Even if you are 25% down on feedback/feeling your are still 100% faster on 2 wheels than I will ever be 😂😂😂. Fantastic race and I commend you on talking about your emotional joirney 👍👍👍

Well done Boothy,great to see you riding again. Greetings from Norway 👏👍

Wow.... actually feeling emotional watching this one! Well done Boothy, awesome job 👌

I bloody loved that. Rider of the day indeed. What a brilliant way to finish off a great comeback. Outstanding boothy and 44 teeth. :)

You're literally an inspiration boothy! Thank you aswell Fagan and Chris

Really great to see Boothy back on a bike in anger. All respect for overcoming any demons and getting back into the groove mate, a real inspiration.

Fair play Boothy! Pace is clearly coming back

Total respect Boothy. Legend!!!! Nuff said

What a guy, so so pleased to see him out and back in his element. It was even better to sit track side and watch him send it . Bravo 👏

It makes me so happy to see Boothy thriving and back on the bike in less than a year from hospital discharge

Annoyingly, you still have more talent with one leg than I do with two.... Well done Boothy. Great to see you back in the saddle. Take care and have fun.

Fair play Boothy! What an absolute hero of a guy, the ultimate Nige! ❤

Boothy, I saw you at the Isle of Man 🇮🇲 in the paddock doing the tv thing, and honestly felt for you mate. Then this racing comes along and YOUR there man ! YES !!! I hope you realize your fans are beyond happy to see you and your competent ways bringing IT man ! Massive congratulations 🎉 for this race weekend mate, you have the Inner strength and will power to enjoy this sport for years to come. You will adapt and be very fast again, make no mistake. It takes time but you have time and the abilities to learn new ways for gettin almost all that feedback back while riding. Peace brother, im so so loving this, im truly emotional 🥹 BOOTHY IS BACK 🙏👊🏻✌🏼🤘🏼 44 Teeth has its cast back in full. Yeeeee Haaaaaaa Sorry im from western Canada 🇨🇦 and that’s our cowboy call

Pretty sure you wasn't alone welling up by the end. Super impressive Booothy, Your TT comms was great and this was just as good.

Boothy, you're a Spartan warrior lad. Cannot express how much respect I have for you. You're an absolute champ. It must be so so hard to face this head on! But to do it with such a humble and positive outlook is another level. Much love to ya and here's hoping your return to full form is kind. Always remember (not that you probably need) but "Baby steps still carry you forward"

Boothy warms my damn heart, and at a well needed point in my life. His positivity is contagious! I'm currently dealing with a mangled hand (all 5 metacarpals broken, as well as wrist, and ulna and radius heads). Ripped the cast off and took only 3 days off of work because who else will pay the bills? We love you Boothy. ♥

That brought tears to my eyes as well - well done Boothy!!!

What a great thing to see. Chuffed for you boothy. How you can be so humble i dont know. True inspiration. Bring on a few more meets this season 👌.

Boothy looks GREAT. Kid in a candy shop! Very healthy looking, fit and strong.

"Goose Bumps" all over my body when you received the Rider Of The Day Award!!! You are a true inspiration. Best, Allan

Congrats Boothy! You're a warrior!

Boothy is a true legend

Certainly is going to be a long journey if you are waiting to find your feet pal 😂😂 brilliant job boothy it’s a pleasure to watch you 👍

Love seeing the third member of team back on the channel, Boothy is a total hero. I was at Brands yesterday and the sound of these bikes, such a deep tone and so loud 👍

Boothy you bloody legend!!! Very well done indeed for your epic comeback. What you’ve had to relearn and adapt too on such a short period of time is astonishing. Don’t be too hard on yourself as that was a real strong return. Upwards and onwards 👏👏👏👏👏👍

Really inspiring stuff Boothy, loved seeing you at Snetterton, bloody awesome!

Keep going Boothy, you're doing great mate.

hard for me to find a way to say how remarkable you efforts have been. truly moving attitude. i am completely humbled.

Boothy you absolute f*ckin beast! You're such an inspiration to many of us my dude! I hope it's all good things for you from here on out. 🤘🏼

A Joy to watch, total legend, and hugely inspirational, if there was a rider of the YEAR, you'd be winning that too...... Welcome back, and Thankyou :-)

So proud of you Mike. The 44teeth lads in the BMW cup make it all the better. Nooooo question that you deserved that prize 100%. Mad respect from everybody watching you be impressed af was heavy amazing and uplifting. All the attention was on you Boothy, the crowd willing you on, every lap. You delivered.

i know how you feel mate, I remember my first motocross race after a year out with a broken back. Well done! It gets easier from here on 😉

Not surprising that you were a little emotional at the end mate, I certainly was and I bet I’m not alone. Fantastic effort, can’t wait for the next one.

I think that it being a hard road back is an understatement, you have a full racing brain with a shit load of talent and you’re having to learn again and that mental battle must be hugely difficult. The fact it’s hard will make the overall journey longer but so much more rewarding. True inspiration to anyone who’s been through anything similar but also to anyone who hasn’t, fair play mate and I look forward to many more racing vids and following your progress

Great, hope to see more races with Boothy in the future! Maybe a prosthetic for riding with an axial rotation on the ankle area could help to keep the foot tucked in and the knee out.

Ultimate respect Boothy. You’re an inspiration. God bless 🙏🏼👍🏼

This made my day. Great to see you racing again Boothy.

I’m scared to go on my first track day at 46 and Boothy’s leg keeps falling off mid course. He’s a legend 💪👀

Brings a tear to the eyes watching this, absolutely incredible effort boothy and a great result for your first race back. The journey of recovery never runs the path you expect it to, I took me a while to understand that my recovery path was going to be one I had to make, and not some pre designed thing. Standby for corners you didn't expect, camber that can both help and hinder and straights that are never really straight, but I can promise you, it'll be worth it in the end. All the best bud.

25th on yer first race back is an awesome achievement, I loved how many people were applauding you in the pit lane. Looking forward to Thruxton.

What a total "Geeza" So much respect 🙌 👏 Nice one Boothy

Evening chaps……great to see Boothy back on it…..some boy,met him at TT, top top bloke….🇮🇲💪👍👌

Absolute legend Boothy - thanks for being so inspirational. I know it’s just you being you, but still - inspirational!

Well done Boothy! As a fellow amputee (AK) I can relate to what you feel your limitations in feeling the bike and having your boot scraping the ground. Cracking Job and the more you ride the more info you will have to recalibrate

Rider of the day well earned. What you’ve achieved is absolutely amazing and to be so positive about the racing is inspirational 👍

You're the man Boothy! Your comeback story is inspiring for a whole lot of people. Picking up 7 places in the main is pretty damn impressive.

All the respect boothy! Just amazing what you did in such a short time

44Teeth just keep posting the best m/c content on the web. Well done Boothy, just brilliant!

Also, this comment section is the reason why I love the biking community.

Boothy is the living embodiment of the Monty Python sketch “It’s just a flesh wound”. Mad respect!

Absolutely brilliant that was, from where he was last year to that race can’t help but be proud of him 💙💪🏻 Can’t wait to see him progress back on to form and I’m sure he will Go on lad !

Boothy you said don’t take the piss because you had tears in your eyes, well I’m sure you weren’t the only one , that really made my day seeing you back, great to see thanks mate🍺🍺

I have nothing but admiration for you, Boothy. Outstanding performance. Cheers from Melbourne 👍

Must be difficult enough to race properly let alone without all the feel and feedback! It was awesome to chat with you that Saturday, Boothy 😸

What a legend, balls of steel.

Boothy my old Boss lost his leg he got back on bike and used Shimano MTB SPD clipless pedal to click his boot into the bike, they have a little float but also you can adjust the tension, and like a ski binding if you fall it will unclip, but you can get a Road Shimano Spd or Look Clipless pedal as they have cleats that have zero degrees of float, so once set in position it'll hold the boot in that position. Well done chap 🤙

You're an inspiration mate! Keep pressing on. You may not know it but you're showing very well that you can indeed triumph over adversity. You've done way more than you think you have. Top work man!

I've been waiting for this one. Well done, Boothy. I expect that £200 will help pay for the new boots you've just ruined 😂 Definitely rider of the day, and more!!

What a legend, outstanding achievement 💪

This is what we all have been hoping for for the last year. Boothy *_exceeds_* all expectations. Way to go mate. You are on the right path. Have fun with it!

Well done Boothy, really happy for you.

Good times. Well done, Boothy. And Al, what a great man to have in your corner. He’s a hero in my eyes too.

Awesome to follow your amazing journey mate! You are truly an amazing person.

Fine work, Boothy. You’ve accomplished what many people would not have been able to do. Rock that prosthetic and keep enjoying life!

Fantastic. I’ve met you guys a few times now and you feel like mates. At the cinema I was so chuffed to catch up with boothy. It’s an outstanding result and you all make the world a brighter place.

Inspirational! Looking forward to watching you continue to improve. 44Teeth wasn’t the same without you. Well done🎉

Good to see back & smiling 😊. Great ride out that mate 🎉. Desperate to get back on track myself 😤

LFG Boothy!! Good to see you riding again!! Respect 👊🏻

Love seeing you back on a bike and racing. You're an inspiration to many. Really enjoyed your commentary and perspective on the whole event.

Good lad, glad to see you back, your tank slapped moment from BBB Britain is still a core memory for me 😂😂

Woh! Great effort!!!!! Well done Boothy, well bloody done! Keep going and hope you enjoy every moment. Great inspiration

Gigachad boothy cannot be stopped from racing

This warmed my heart. Boothy is a f**cking hero. Overcoming a level of adversity most are lucky enough to never face in pursuit of still turning up for something that he still loves. He’s the soul of motorcycling.
