Palmer
shows off video of his first time back on the bike after knee surgery
Irvine,
CA (April 25, 2012) – If
you have ever been to a GEICO AMA EnduroCross event or watched one on
TV, you have probably noticed Wild Wally Palmer. He is a madman on
the track that always gives it 100% and typically catches more air
than anybody. And in spite of some ugly crashes that led to a
destroyed knee in 2011, he made it to every event and continued to
attract more fans along the way. He literally used duct tape to hold
his knee together at the Everett Washington event and still qualified
for the main event on his two wheel drive Christini.
After
the Vegas finals in November, Palmer finally got a much needed knee
surgery and is just now back on a Trials bike to start getting ready
for the Las Vegas opening round coming up inside the Orleans Arena on
Friday, May 4th.
He sent over a link to this video showing some POV action at his
EnduroCross practice track along with this note; “I’m going to
start riding a big bike on Thursday for the first time since the last
EnduroCross. My leg is feeling good. Here is the track I made that is
pretty close to the Vegas track map. I even made the over and under
bridge. Check it out!” Here is the link:

If
you are planning a trip to see the Monster Energy Supercross finals
in Las Vegas, then make sure that you come in a day early to catch
the GEICO AMA EnduroCross by Lucas Oil championship opener, which is
an X Games Qualifier. If you have never watched one in person, you
will be blown away by the obstacles and intense racing action.
