Sorry to hear that! How long did you wait to do the surgery? Can you still ride after the surgery?
I had the issue for close to 20 years but was only aware of exactly what was going on, as well as started dealing with serious pain, for around 5 years. I wish I hadn't waited more than a year though. Since doing the surgery my wrist is better than ever and it doesn't hold me back with riding moto or mtb at all.
So good to hear this, thank you for giving me hope!
You know what I just realized, Ken was close to Jett’s age when he crashed in 2017. Then missed most of 2018 too with the wrist/hand. Thats about the closest parallel I can think of. I think K-dub was mid-20s during his injury hiatus

It is crazy to think he hasn’t finished a full 450 season yet.
2023 250 SX. Undefeated 450 outdoors
2024 supercross champ, injured outdoors
2025 injured SX , outdoors champ
2026 injured pre SX , outdoors ??
Crazy how good he is but injuries are plaguing him right now.
Injury is the wild card when your betting on the sure thing!!
Man this news sucks. I had already bought 3 rounds of tickets, then I got gifted a Lawrence VIP fan experience as a Christmas gift! I’m still stoked for the series!
It would be interesting to look at the stats for past champions like Villopoto, Stewart, Reed, Tomac, etc , who finished full seasons and how many? It seemed like someone was always hurt for motocross.
.
I don’t think Reedy missed a single SX race from when he got to the States in 2002 until 2010, but he did go SX only for a few years.
Chad missed the back half of the nationals in 05-06, and skipped 07-08.
RV only did two full 450 seasons, Dunge pretty much made them all except 2017. I think James only made two (06 and 2013).
RC made em all except for 04 SX
Tomac I believe made both seasons from 16-23? Minus Round 2 in 2018?
But wasn’t there more to the story, something like Reed was docked in 03 for the same thing and lost the title because of it?
No, Chad got hit in 04. Still won the title. Not sure if Yamaha appealed it or said fuck it cause it didn’t change anything
Both Reed and Stew had copped the penalty previously, which made the RC reversal more controversial.
Yeah I don’t remember if they appealed or just wore it. Neither of them really had title implications with the penalties, so not appealing kind of makes sense? I can’t remember though. Maybe they did and the levels were too high for an appeal?
just realized that was all 20 years ago and no wonder it’s fuzzy lmao. Damn.
Crazy when how smooth and in control he looks. Plus many guess that he’s only racing at 80% yet he still gets injured this often?
I think it's just bad luck for him most of the time...
Right place, right force, right angle.
This is just from memory so I could be wrong but I believe there were riders implicated with the penalties so far as championship position. I think Michael Byrne lost a place in the championship due to the Kawasaki penalty. I don't know if his points (and therefore any bonus money) ever got reinstated or not. I think another rider was in a similar situation as well but I forget who.
Mondays Pulp Lars briefly talks about the incident where he got hurt. I played it back a couple times and still can’t hear what he says happened. He jumped over someone and jumped off the bike to avoid them?
Pit Row
Reed still won the title.
I’m going to be watching for updates on his insta, etc. People thinking he’ll be ready for outdoors. I just don’t know…. I feel like he might miss the first 3-4 races. But he’ll have the best PT and already should have had the best surgeon…. And that very well could be the difference.
I think he will make outdoors , I destroyed my ankle ,tib and fib back in 2003 and was riding in 5 months. He has the best resources available so unless a major issue he will make outdoors
All this “best resources available” talk is kind of funny. He’s not Patrick Mahomes.
Is he going to the local urgent care in Dade City? No.
he also doesn't have to run and cut like Mahomes, or get tackled by 250-300+ lbs opposing players.
Bro thank you. Racer X website doesn’t like my safari. Too hard to scroll and match the dates. lol
Isn't a lot of Herling's wins in the Junior class - sub 23 yrs old - over there?
Yeah and I don't understand why they're combined. Herlings is 19 GP wins away from matching Cairoli (70 premier GP wins)
Herlings has 51 wins in the premier class and 61 wins in the 250 class, absolute ridiculous numbers obviously, but still shouldn't be combined.
At 1 min mark Jett describes his injury
Jett also will not be returning for SX
