My claim to fame is I hit a water truck out there in May 2010. Had a tibial plateau fracture and busted my fibula. My moto career hasn't been the same since. I get really mental about jumping stuff that I can't see the landing now, no matter how hard I try to turn that off.
James Stewart and other recent pro's continue to invent and hone techniques that everyone attempts to learn. Regardless of bike size, skill or age this sport is ever- evolving.

Jason Jones was competing in a MX Series race.
This was his first official motorcross race.
As he made a jump, which was beautiful, except he was going too fast, which made him miss his landing and fell to the ground. On impact, he had massive brain injury.
The brain injury caused bleeding in the brain and the brain to shift.
Doing everything the doctors could do, Jason fought as long as he could, but his heart stopped at 11:30 pm.

Motocross has always been dangerous. I don't think the evolution of the sport leads to more deaths. If anything, the evolution of the sport makes it safer with better protection equipment.
Look at cole seelys injury hes likely done professionally from that. He shattered his hip and seperated his torso from his lower half of his body on the insides....the injuries now are no longer a broken wrist or a broken arm, they are severe and often times a laundry list of injuries per crash.
It's easy for rider's to forget where they came from, how many years it took them to even acquire the skills necessary to race, let alone finish well. There is a reason even D class riders have decades of experience, beginner's aren't welcome in our sport anymore unless you start with a mini.
