Looking a little rough.

agree with you guys. in the press conference he was asked about his foot and he said "Honestly, it feels like shit". We're in round 1. How is that going to hold up across the entire outdoors? Seems it could become a compounding problem if each week it feels worse and worse. I will never forgive the Moto Gods if this injury robs us of what could be one of the most historic careers ever.

Severely commutated (shattered) talus. That’s an illazarov fixation, worn for three months. Limped severely for two years, couldn’t jump off a curb. Range of motion is gone. If I walk too much, I’m limping the next day. 

Thanks for stating my point that the limp could be for ever. An illazarov fixation could be a hell (been on a ward with kids who had one), how was it for you?

I’m baffled as to why this topic has 30 down votes…😂 This isn’t a Jett bashing thread, it’s a thread of concern for Jetts well being.

It’s because it’s poll…subject doesn’t matter.

What I noticed was Jett sitting down a lot more than usual for him.

It breaks my heart knowing he will ride himself into form and beat Hunter for the championship in the final round

It was better than amputation which was originally what they wanted to do. 

Miserable. Can’t sleep. Can’t stay in any position too long. Knocked it on the toilet taking a piss and laid on the floor for 20 minutes crying. My doctor was amazed, 45 days in and I was walking in the iilazarov. 

Yes, Jett suffered a potentially career ending injury. He’s soldiering through. Honestly, it’s probably the only time it’s not killing him  is when he’s riding, because he’s not focused on it.

That what scares me. Without him even being my favorite rider, dont rob us of seeing what his final form could be or could have been. Pala didn't really answer much as far as he goes, yet. Next couple rounds will be more telling

If Jett would have hole shotted at Pala he would have won. For walking/running he looks terrible. On the bike he looks completely unaffected.

Yep, I've often wondered why just about any poll is heavily down voted even if the poll question's a good one.  What's up with that?

I saw kids who had one leg that was way to short with illazarov fixators and at one point they wanted to break my leg and use one, but luckily they found an other option. But it does great work (see) but it hurts like hell.

Have you ever seen an illizarov with a hinged ankle, little adjuster wheel on it? I had the first one in the World. If you read the case study, it was me.
