A similar technology already exists. The leathers that MotoGP riders wear have air bags in them. They’ve been around a few years. I haven’t been watching MotoGP much lately, so not sure how far the technology has advanced in the last couple of years, but I know they have the air bags in the shoulder area for sure. Maybe other...

BigMX Added a reply to Rider Down! Big Maico in hospital
6/24/2018 8:13pm I just saw this. I don’t know you but you are in my prayers. It sounds like you are out of the woods now, which is great! Keep working and you’ll be back in no time. I had s very similar crash 4 months ago. Whiskey throttle 3rd gear 450 over the berm. Landed on different track, 1 foot from...
BigMX Added a reply to Will Jeremy Martin be able to come back from this type of injury?
6/24/2018 1:10pm I doubt he could have stood up if he wanted to. I had the same injury in Feb. I couldn’t stand but I foolishly had 2 guys try to stand me up. The pain down my legs was unbearable. I yelled “put me down, put me down”. I am super lucky that I didn’t end up with spinal cord damage...

6/24/2018 12:09pm Yep. My neurosurgeon said the same thing. Ok, sure ?. I had the orthopedic surgeon who fixed my shoulder years ago say “keep riding motorcycles, you guys keep me in business” ?
I’ve had 3 surgeries. First time went through the back and tried to rebuild the L1 with bone from my hip. That did not hold. Second surgery was due to an infection. The third one was through my left side. They collapsed my lung and cut out a rib. Crushed up that rib bone and put it in the corpectomy...
I had the exact same injury in Feb. Burst fractured my L1. Also fractured L2 and had a cervical spine hematoma. When I saw him lying there, it reminded me of my crash. Surprised they are not operating now. I was immediately rushed into emergency surgery. The L1 fragments were in my spinal column. 3 surgeries later I’m on the...

12/18/2014 11:35am Similar to FIM, the FIA regulates a lot of the car racing series around the world. However, NASCAR has no ties to the FIA, so it's conceivable that SX and MX could cut all ties with FIM. Hey, everyone is always saying we need to be more like NASCAR!
BigMX Added a reply to BLUE Buffalo/Slater Skins/Yamaha Says Thank You VitalMX!!
11/18/2014 12:47pm How did I not hear about this until recently? I have been feeding both of my dogs Blue Buffalo Wilderness for over a year now. At over 120 lbs each, they eat a lot! Great product and I am pumped to hear that they support the sport I love!

10/13/2014 10:52am I was looking at flights this Am, thinking about a last minute trip to Vegas. Now that I know JS7 won't be there, I'm definitely staying home.
