Thank you for sharing mate. It was great to see that Jessy is focused on new goals and looking forward. Also the support he got, heart warming and he really seems like a great guy. Wish you all of the best Jessy!

That was hard to watch but glad they made it. Obviously the thumb got him attention but he always had the talent and he was one of my favourites to watch.

Don’t know what it is about the TLD team but always want them to do well. After seeing that it only makes me root for them more. Major props to TLD & Polaris for sticking by him.

X2, happy to see him overcome such a hardship. Reminds me a bit of Ernesto Fonseca.

Just finished it and I’m not gonna lie I shed a few man tears during it. The drive and attitude he has is admirable and I think we can all take a page out of his book. It’s so cool to see he’s doing well.

I agree that I’ve always rooted for Troy lee guys too. They have always seem very respectable on and off the track. I’m sure that’s no fluke.

And no problem for sharing guys! We should all show our support and share on whatever platforms we have! I have been anticipating the realease of this film for a while and it did not disappoint.

Can he ride one of those bikes with the roll cage? I’ve seen several of those before for guys that don’t have leg function. It’s an option if he wants to get back on a bike. The SBS racing is pretty cool too.

By chance I ran into Jessy about 2 years ago away from the race track. Ended up having a 3 hour conversation about many things. Being 60 years old, not many young men make an impression on me. With his maturity, being well-educated and sensibility to his situation made a lasting impression on me. He is a young man that would make any father proud. Wish nothing but the best for him and his family.

I’ve been a fan of Jessy for a long time. Gut wrenching story but incredibly inspiring. I’d suggest everyone to watch it. Really puts life in perspective when you think you’re having a bad day or week.

You thought the movie was terrible? Or it was just hard on you to watch?

It is a hard watch at time, not surprising the mech broke down or Tyler & Troy had lumps in their throats!! I would not have been able to take part if I was involved

Anyone listen to him on the Pulp show? Sounds like there's a cyst in his spine that can get removed, which could improve his functionality. Fingers crossed that something good comes of getting it removed.

It was nice listening to him on this podcast, he was really positive about everything and sounds really happy.

Amazing story. I started watching at work yesterday with intentions of just seeing what it was all about and finishing it later but just couldn't turn it off.... 35 minutes later i forgot what I was doing at work and found my jaw on the floor. awesome to see him married and happy and still getting strong backing and going after something else he loves.

Anyone else pissed about what the first doctor said?? Piece of shit!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tough to watch his mechanics reaction about that day.

Defiantly going to keep up with his racing in 2019 to see how he does.

Thanks PSG for posting, me and the wife watched it last night. Definitely shed a couple tears, but what an amazing story! I've always like Jessy and I'm glad he was able to come out on the other side with the attitude he has now.

Sounds like the doctor was totally insensitive (not uncommon for doctors, unfortunately), but he gave an honest answer.

Glad to see Jesse happy and getting on with his life; and I hope to see him kicking ass racing this year.

Man , that kid is such a badass. The love and support he get's from everyone is just amazing , and he deserves every bit of it. His positive outlook on everything is just as amazing. I can't wait to see what he can do this year in the 4 wheel stuff.

Thanks I'll definitely check it out! And I agree with you it would have been hard being in the video being so close Jessy and his accident. They probably felt like if Jessy himself could do the movie and it's something he really wanted they should participate too.

I'm sure he'll tear it up just like everything else!

Heartbreaking documentary, but he seems to be a pretty positive dude. His smokin` hot wife helps his attitude, i`m sure.

Going to listen when I'm driving around today. Let's pray that is the case!

Anyone know how Roczen is involved in his program?
I've just seen that he has the KR logo on his Polaris and his gear

Of course dude! I watched it with my wife as well. It for sure got our emotions running. And I agree, I think it's awesome he knows life still has so much more to offer.
