Good for him. Always liked Hepler, super nice dude.

Great news, really hope it plays out for Broc! Been a fan since I watched him go down twice in one moto and still chased down andrew short for the win in Gothenburg sx, that guy rode as if the hounds of hell was on his tail!

Very cool...Broc is a super humble, and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.

Happy for Broc! Before the injuries he had crazy speed, one tough SOB, too.

Hell yeah. I'm glad to see broc back out there racing and doing really well. I would love to see him compete in the GNCC's.

Club riders do the 6 days like the pros no? Maybe less km everyday? Definetly on my to do list.

3 rider teams and same 6days of riding. Takes alot of money to do but on my list also.
Teams do offer bike+service packs also if you cant take own bike.

Very cool to see him getting back on a bike! He had a lot of potential before the numerous concussions so I am happy to see he gets to pick it back up doing off road stuff.

Anyone have that picture of him wth the bloody hand, in an ad from his amateur days?

Great guy. Great mom and dad. KITTANING should have home of broc helper on their limit sign.

He's also a PE teacher right ?

What if Hepler had received bad advice about the concussions and quitting racing? Maybe he quit too early. Doctors hate mx and they always say to quit after injuries.

It's something you personally feel it's time to stop. There is no jokes when it comes to the symptoms of concussions (I know you aren't joking.)

Really ANY symptom would be enough for me.

I remember he had said that you couldnt drive around in traffic cause he would get really bad headaches so his mom had to drive him around. Tough decision to have to make tho. He could still be out there doing what millsaps is doin ya know. He probably made some damn good money tho, factory rider from 04-09 and most of it when the motocross economy was at its peak.

Not sure why, but that's (CN) the first picture of a Gas Gas I liked...just seems more "racerish" to me now. Cool

Good for Hepler, has always seemed like a stand up guy...hope he (and the brand) wins a championship or three.
