He broke L3 and L4 but didn’t have surgery so that’s a good sign most likely not as bad as a fracture. I broke L4-L5 but had surgery and was cleared to ride at 5 months so I would assume that’s about how long it’ll be for him. Thought it was very interesting that one of his contacts fell out mid race. That little bit of blurry vision might of caused this. Not making any excuses for him but definitely could alter his judgement

My brother has stigmatism and had laser surgery when I did. His eyes are just fine. It’s been 23 yrs since we had it done. He just got his touched up and now I need mine.

He compressed them. In 2021 i compressed my t6,10,11 and 2 weeks later i was at maven racing the qualifier. Hurt like hell, every time i hit a huge breaking bump or over shot a jump, or landed low on the landing my breath would get taken away. Best thing to do is just let them heal, i still have some pain from time to time from not letting them just heal.

Thanks for that. My doctor has been lying to me for years! Maybe because of the risk involved? I'll look into it.
Daytona should be a fun one to watch. Hoping for no r__n!
So did anyone else see hunter crash at the end of the whoops where Jett went down. He literally locked the brakes up and then somehow went over the berm. Really stating to think it’s fixed

That stood out to me and his comment about fight to the death when who knows how badly Forkner might have been hurt.
And throwing his bike away at the finish line. Don't know how many people might have been in its path.
I just see him as entitlement and poor sportsmanship.
Contrast to Jett, like him or not, he is humble, fun, and always credits his competitors.

"Welcome to the Danger Zone"
Who thinks that tag line was off the cuff or a marketing guy said say this when you win a race and we will sell lots of T Shirts the following week.
Why do people believe that medical procedures are one size fits all? If you are not a good candidate, the result can be blindness.
What a nice young racer, so respectful and complimentary?
"Obviously these days it's not exactly like the same beast he used to be, but it's still Eli Tomac, so it was cool to follow him and just learn off him," Lawrence said.
He'll even go out of his way to call over and grab an elder competitor's helmet as he tries to pulls away, just to ensure that Jett can share his insight.
The Lawrence brothers are being highly marketed and apparently it's working.

Daytona is already very strict with everything on the property. This week was a bit frustrating for me, because gates that have always been open for years were closed, the storms Sunday morning kept things from even opening, etc.
But now you have fans that watch from the front stretch open the fences and rush the track. There were tons of bikes still on the track finishing the race, it was nuts. AP had like 3 straights to go and was riding through people. Daytona will now have two barracades, 8 foot chain link fencing, or no fans on the front stretch next year. I guarantee you they will not take lightly to this and make changes for 2025.
