Would that honor go to Pourcel?

Weve had great comebacks from injury (Henry, wrists and back, etc), but Pourcel coming back from a near career-ending paralyzing crash, and still suffers from some lower extremity numbness, to take a Lites SX title, and be in contention for an Outdoor title.

The kid has my vote!

i have to give it to henry, but my hats off to pourcel, all heart and talent.

i have to put windham in there somewhere, they say a broken femur is a biggie, thankfully, i dont know that first hand, but windham took a lot of time off and came back with speed to boot, but then again, i'm a windham fan

I would give it to Henry too. Pourcel is a very close second and will probably deserve it more if his season is caped with a second title.

I would say it's Pourcel. He was paralyzed and has come back to win Championships and races. Henry did break his back, but never lost feeling. There is a difference there. This would scare the shit out of most riders and they would never ever race again. He has and he has won. He's French so most of you won't agree.
