Love to watch Bubba ride.
Worship the RC.
But David Jackson is the man we need to seek inspiration from.
I don't know the man, but fully realize that he's worked harder than i ever will.
Respect.
I don't know if he'd be up for any sort of an interview, but if you guys come up with some questions to ask I'd certainly ask him if he'd answer a few questions... There's a race this coming weekend at the track so I'll see him up there. Certainly is inspirational.
Always seen him on a YZ250 before.

Please get David to come out to the Extremity Games! ( http://www.extremitygames.com )
The Extremity Games is made for AMPUTEES to compete against each other. David would be a great addition to the games. If he does well, he will qualify for the X Games and be live on ESPN! I bet his son would be jealous. hahaha
The Extremity Games is at Baja MX in Michigan on July 11th. If he qualifies for the X Games, we are working out transportation to get the bikes out to California and back.
I can't believe nobody has said anything about the X Games in this thread! David would be one of only two competitors who are missing an arm.

I've always been amazed at how he is able to ride ruts.
I can't find David's contact info.
Anybody know him?
And I'm suprised no one else has said much, there has to be some Western New Yorkers on here that know him... makes me wonder if he doesn't talk about it... I've never asked him about it, nor do you even realize it when riding/talking to him.
He races in AMA sanctioned events, right?
Has Mr Jackson always had just one arm ?
Or did he lose the arm sometime after getting into MX ?
i feel like a puss because i am worried about riding with a surgicaly repaired achilles tendon i dont really want to snap that thing again. he is on helluva tough bad ass guy
my helmet goes off to David he is an inspiration.

I saw him last year racing a moto he jumped at a pretty diffcult jump (Area 51 tower jump) and a rider a moved into his line well Dave jackson was in mid air and he landed on the other rider. I think he cliped the other riders arm but he rode it out! He seems like a good sportsman he pulled of right after and help the person he landed on. Its awesome watching him ride he is very quick.
Watching him ride was unreal.
Matt you should do an interview with him one day.
Great job on your coverage too by the way. That was awesome.
Next time I see him, he's getting an interview. I thought about it at HP but yeap, obviously I did not follow thru with it. Shame on me!
Seriously though, the guy's truly inspirational. Really takes away the excuses most of us (myself at least) have. You simply have the ability to share his story and abilities with more of the world.
Maybe you can put him in touch with Ridge; get the guy a true 15 minutes of fame.
He was f'in faster than many; wasn't intimidated in a crowd or if a decent double was in front of him. Dude could jump with the best.
Wish I could remember his name.
David Jackson and those like him with limitations are inspirational for sure.
Great thread Matt.
I asked the lady there what her responsibilities are to AMA members besides taking their money. No answer.
Ridge I think Harold Glissens website is http://www.onlyoneinspiration.com/ you may want to talk to him about the extremity games and X, also he may (or may not) know Dave Jackson.
Post a reply to: David Jackson...remember the name......
