Just starting out by saying this is not a bash or any disrespect at all. But who is Dennis Jonon #336. I have been playing MX vs ATV for some time now and see this name in the races and never heard of him.



Was he a young up and comer and fizzled or got hurt? Or is he someone that created the game and put his name in.



Just curious and again not being a D%&K

I bet he will be here in a few to tell you about himself!



Very cool guy, very crazy injury. Still can't believe that racing pro didn't pan out I guess. I hope it is now, how is the graphics business going dennis?

whats up rollin, im dennis jonon #336. im no one to special dont worry

i grew up racing all the amateur nationals, my age group was villo and alessi.
in 2001 i broke my femur, pelvis and hip so i sat out for a year and a half from racing. I came back to race for fun and raced up until 2008 riding sx and mx. in 2007 i finished 20th in west coast supercross and gained points in motocross but never earned a national number my year.

because of pain problems from my back compensating for my hip i decided to do the next best thing for me which was stay in the industry and work on the computer designing graphic for BIKEgraphix.com

i now race offroad regionally, and will be going after the gncc's and national enduro's next year.

any other questions just ask.

Didnt I read somewhere that you had a hip replacement Dennis? If so, how is that working out.

Sincerely, Sandberm with bad hips.

You should have seen Alessi and Jonon go at it! Their kids had some good battles too! Ahh the days!

Ya i got my hip replacement about 3 years ago and for my hip things couldn't be better. I am pretty much full movement, ( at least to what i had while my leg was fused after my injury for 7 years). It's still weak but that's to be expected as its going to take just as long as i was down, or longer!

My biggest complaint now is my lower back. I'm having pain troubles, but I am working with a doctor and trying to get all that squared away.

Anyone wondering if you can ride with a hip replacement - ABSOLUTELY.

Good deal. Sorry to hear about the injury but glad you found a niche and able to stay in the industry. You must of been pretty fast if they put you on the game.

Best of luck to you in your future.

Hope the back gets better mine is still not the same. I was involved in a race accident in 03 that broke my back ( L2 and L3) and it still is not the same so I don't ride as much as I would like anymore due to pain.

Do you remember getting an email like a week before or after having your surgery from someone that had the same injury and had to have a hip replacement and let you know that you can still ride with a hip replacement?

Got cross rutted going off the face of a downhill double. Worst pain of my life and the scariest situation I have ever been in.

Hey Dennis, How did you come up with number 336? That was always my number growing up. It was my grandfather's PT boat number so I always used it. You?

Dennis was a very fast Am. rider. He was Team Green and a Factory Shift kid for a while. Not sure what the story is behind it but something that made Jonon always stand out was that one leg was shorter than the other so he rode with a custom made boot that had like a 3 inch sole! That alone shows some heart.

i like to ride motorcycles, pitbikes, mountain bikes, playing video games, eating food hanging out with my posse'.

i grew up racing motorcycles for a living until i was 20 years old but unfortunately had a hip accident and had to get a total hip replacement. I now work inside the industry for BIKEgraphix.com which is probably the next best thing than races at the Pro Level.

I want to meet some cool people that are chill with no drama or baggage from the past because I just like to be chill and smooth sailin' ya dig.

Years ago the Arena crosses ran 60's during breaks with the big bikes. Cody Gilmore and Jonon killed it! They would lap kids twice

Haha, when they weren't busy cleaning eachother out. And they'd get up and still get 1st and 2nd.
