Ep. 22 BIMTV: Paralysis, a refusal to be defeated, and back behind bars at the Corduroy Enduro 2024

On March 4, 2024, while training for the upcoming dirt biking season, I was left paralyzed from the waist down after a catastrophic accident. This video marks my return to Big Iron Moto TV as I share the mental, emotional, and physical challenges of my recovery journey. Despite being told by doctors I’d never walk again, I’ve pushed through with the help of my family, friends, and the unwavering spirit of the dirt biking community.

Join me at the legendary Corduroy Enduro as I explore my new reality, adapt to life with a spinal cord injury, and continue doing what I love, even in the face of adversity. I hope my story inspires others battling similar obstacles to never give up.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support.
