You’re obviously retarded and have no clue! He had no issue during smx. Am I correct? Of course I am. Have you ever had metal in your hand? Probably not. If so the only reason for any screws and platesto be removed from bones would be that the screws are starting to loosen. Unless he had pins in his hand which would not effect anything unless it was scheduled for them to come out, how ironic it happens to be at the end of the season and them(the team) knowing he would be voted to be on the des nations team! I mean he’s the best lites rider we have. But has an excuse why he can’t race for Merica this yr!!!! So keep following your idol and believe everything you read from his dads vlogs and Yamaha. He isn’t even close to being patriotic!! He’s a kid who was spoon fed, raised by a dad who couldn’t make it in professional motocross and supercross, but made his fortune in doing tricks and representing himself as a badass! Please, other than tyler evans and Weston peick, please name me a badass that was a professional motocross racer? Someone who is really intimidating in person? Trust me, unless a serious injury he will be at Ironman next to smoke everyone because he knows that track!!!! It’s all about clicks!!!!
