Its always the small crashes that seem cause the most injuries. Ive been flung off my roadrace bike at 90 mph and gotten up perfectly fine. I get into the shower the wrong way and throw my back out.
I was going 2mph on my told Husqvarna 430 and smashed my finger between a Boulder and the metal gas tank..compound fracture,6 stitches!.the only bone i ever broke.
The legend returns, can’t wait to see what he can do the rest of the year. Cant wait to see haiden and his camps reactions and celebrations this weekend
I had a motocross crash and the muffler was on my leg and I couldn't get it off of me, it burned a huge hole in my leg but I couldn't even feel it because it had burned off the nerve endings. I only noticed something was wrong when I finally got up and started to walk away, it felt like the skin was tight and nothing more but in fact there was no skin at all. The actual pain didn't come until a couple hours later and got way worse a few days later. I still have a huge scar from more than 25 years ago! It was a 1997 YZ 125.. I miss those bikes
@@JamieJohnson-vg4dmunfortunately I know this to be true. Not to mention points are important for smx and the bike has not been homologated to the best of my knowledge…. Sad times. :/
My thoughts are he could be top ten, how about everyone else? 1252t. Let me be clear by the way, I'm not a fan. I do respect talent though and he has it.
@6:56, I'm curious to see the maintenance schedule and parts replacement cost on the Ducati. Ducati street bike maintenance costs are out of this world when compared to similar Japanese bikes.
That Canadian dude tying to force a crash from the 2nd place rider needs to have his jaw and teeth rearraigned.... I have never seen anything like that. Ever.
@@danielcamilleri6399 Thanks. I had a hard time following the commentary as my rage boiled over. I can only imagine how this douchebag drives his lifted truck on public roads.
@@danielcamilleri6399 He apologized after, but it was pretty bad, trying to brake check and hoping to take Benoit out. He came to a complete stop a couple of times on the last lap and by the end the guy in third place (brought up from the US on a Kawasaki as well) almost caught up. It was something to see..😅
Josh I hope you are getting better from Red bud crash I really appreciate what you do and the best magazine*Motocross action* and all the people that test with you ..🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸 if I could say you should test who has the best race fuel ELF Race Fuel or Vp fuel or Trick race gas .. best smelling fuel goes two???
Tomac top five would be good beat chese would be perfect days think but I think he be in top 10 1st race back deegan will rap it up in 1st moto if goes well
They need to make braces next to the throttle housing and clutch on both sides, maybe tpu shield housing on the side to stop the hand and thumb injuries.
He says Honda had to pay 5000 dollars to get the bike approved for ama racing like they had to pay a lot of money to a company as big a Honda 5grand is like 5 bucks 😂
Eli missed his chance to go out on top and should have hung it up after the Achilles incident with pride. Just another floundering has been that draws crowds bathing in nostalgia and hoping for glimmers of prior greatness watching him ride around to pick up paychecks, sad ,missed opportunity
Eli I love you bro, but you've got nothing left to prove. Hand the baton off and enjoy retirement. Become an SMX commentator like Ricky and James. Maybe fund your own MX team; or just enjoy being with your family. It's time to transition 👍
Agreed, I hope he races as long as he feels like it. He has nothing to prove, but the top 3 need competition and I think we all like what he can bring to a race.
@@kevine9986 That's where you're wrong... I do know a few things. For example, I deeply respect Eli. He has pretty much done it all, and won it all, and is still exceptional talented. I also know that he's got way more of his career behind him, than he has left in front of him. Jumping back into the MX season at this point isn't going to accomplish very much; except maybe get him hurt again (like it may have done to Webb this past weekend). I don't claim to know what Eli wants to do, but I will always support him. I just want to see his phenomenal career remembered for all the right things; not for watching him struggle with accumulated injuries (which is very common at this stage in a long career). There are other meaningful ways that Eli can continue to be involved (and influential) in the sport, if and when he chooses to move on - Cheers.
