Championship, and the 125cc Rose Creek Invitational and Raced in the 2000 Motocross des Nations.Want another list? Here goes : He suffered a dislocated spine, he has torn his ACL, PCL, LCL, and MCL in his left knee, his bucket handle meniscus, broken his tibia and fibula 4 times, he’s had surgery on his left wrist twice, left thumb once, two surgeries on his back, one on his right elbow, nine on his left knee, six on the right knee, one shoulder surgery, 60 broken bones, over 25 concussions etc, etc. This is the point where we at Autospace feel lost for words, so here’s some astonishing videos instead :
