- In August 2016, Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull KTM star Jessy Nelson suffered a paralyzing injury during a round of the AMA Pro Motocross series. Silver Linings chronicles Jessy’s journey through the most difficult challenge of his life, and his newfound racing motivation in the form of professional UTV racing. His determination for victory unchecked, Jessy tackles life’s next chapter with the same competitive spirit that put him at the top of the motocross food chain.

Shout out to #677 Cody Williams for picking the bike up off of Jessy.
Unbelievable that no one ran out there they just stood and watched and video taped. Good ol America. I always help ppl out and half the time don't even get a thank you or they will want even more and take advantage of it.
I know him
11:34 may be the rawest emotion I’ve ever seen.....damn
Yup. You can tell they are good friends...first he calls him dumbass(in a friend way),and than you see him cry cause he got hurt. That's real friendship.
The relationship between a rider and his mechanic is unbreakable
Making the toughest grown men cry over this one. What a great video and inspiration to be appreciative and the best you can be.
this is awesome! it was hard not to cry but.. You are a big role model Jessy! Go and get that championship now! Thank you for being you.
HG#100 Vlogs me tooo
Ye If it didn’t end when it did I would have cried
Troy Lee said it best- "We need to do what we love". You can't break a strong spirit.
I cried the entire time. What a guy. Makes me want to go change my entire career path to study robotics and go work for ReWalk.
Inspiring. No other word. Every time I watch his segments on the Moto movies I feel sad, but so happy to see he's feeling optimistic. Good luck Jessy!
Well done dude, I know how hard it is to find something besides racing dirtbikes. In 2014 december I also had an accident during supercross in Germany where I broke my back and put me in the wheelchair. I know what you went trough! Nice to see you found something again, I know how important this is. Goodluck on your next career!
How you doing brother ?
My son raced with Jessy all through mini cycles, he was always one of the fastest kids on the track. Great kid with a great family, I would give anything for him to walk again and race mx.
Serious props to Polaris for stepping up to the plate and giving a racer vet a second chance. I have never owned a polaris but you have just won a customer when I do. If you treat your athletes this well, I can only imagine how well you treat your staff in creating a superior made product. This was an amazing doc.
Such an amazing story and video I had chills the whole time
I wanted to watch it twice definitely the most inspiring story I’ve ever seen such a legend
if someone disslikes this idk whats going on on there mind. You‘re such an inspiration. pin it to win it
Back Stone well there's always gotta be one dickhead.
Damn, 14 people now? What's wrong with people?
Wow, this is a powerful documentary. I remember the day of your horror crash at the outdoors. I caught it on TH-cam as someone had captured it.....sort of. To see the journey you’ve been on since with the rehabilitation, life change & all the other difficulties you’ve faced & likes be right, you’ve really put in the hard work to be back to enjoying racing, even if it isn’t motocross/supercross, it’s still racing which is your passion. I’ve been watching Us supercross/motocross over here in the UK for a good 25 years & seen some bad accidents, yours didn’t look so bad but, obviously the outcome was so severe, life changing. I believe you will walk again & you will swing your leg over a motocross bike again. Impossible is nothing Jessy. Respect👍🏼
You are a strong man Jessy. Great video. We all love what you are doing.
Honestly, I don't cry a lot but I couldn't hold it back here. Sorry. Also it is so impressive how you became pro after your thumb injury, even more astonishing! I never knew that.
Tiktok brought me here
Same lol
Super stoked to hear you're gonna be racing again! You should definitely vlog that stuff, I'd watch in a second. This video kicked ass
Such a legend. Always will be 🗡
Going through two knee surgeries myself and having difficult rehabs all I can say is I have tremendous respect for this guy. God bless ya Jessy!
I miss Jessy Nelson. I hope life is going great for him now. Class act and a good dude. If you see this, you still have tons of fans and we love ya
I sobbed watching this. That corner at Unadilla is where I watch the races. I stopped watched moto for a couple of years after this because I hated the sport for what it did to Jessy. I'm glad to see he still battling.
My brother is the one who took the video by the sky shot when he hit that marker. They used his video it’s amazing I miss your racing jessy you were amazing
Having lost my brother to complications of a broken back, I was more than happy to make donations to the cause. Glad your making things happen and living the life you want in a positive way.
Damn I just had a Enduro accident ribs, shoulders blades cracked and t4 and t5 moved lucky for me not to mutch so It doesn't have long-term effects it's 4 weeks u haven't been riding and can't wait to go back racing. After many accidents and broken stuff people can't understand I still want ride but the truth is that I feel like I am dead when I am not able to ride my life is riding the only way to be free for me. But I am verry happy for him that he find a other way to race its in your blood or not but when you have it there is only one way to be fully happy racing 🤔good luck to you man
This was the most beautifully put together film I’ve ever seen. Jessy, you are so strong, it’s amazing to see you smiling the entire time. Life tried to fuck you over but you didn’t let it. It’s amazing to see you ripping the Polaris and still doing things that you love. You’re my true inspiration and thank you for being so amazing. Much love bud.
What a badass!! Never stop racing
Man..So Inspiring. I was Honored to meet Jesse a few years back at a Local fundraiser deal for him..near Home. All I could say was Never give up..and he Agreed he would not. Obviously by this the young Man has so much Heart and drive to make the very best of his setback..I can't say enough how Inspring that is.. Life has challenges for alot of people..myself included, but you gotta fight thru it. So Thank You for that reminder here. I Hope to see you again sometime, and all the Best to you, Emily and your family.
If someone has limitations, that person is not as good as he, or she, can be. Kudos for never giving in and living life on your terms. #JN13strong
Freak accidents can happen anywhere; falling down the stairs, jumping in the pool, driving a car, ect. don't be scared of life and do what you love. Jessy you are so inspiring to everyone and we all need to give our 100% all the time! 💪🏼
We met Jessy at hangtown. He talked with my daughter and signed all of her stuff. You are an awesome guy Jessy. Cant wait to see the video of you walking on your own!
Man, I just had neck surgery 2 1/2 months ago and I was on the rebound until I slipped off a 4 inch high stool which put me back to square one. I was so bummed out until I watched this, while the pain is intense, i'm still walking and i'm grateful for that.
Jesse's attitude is inspiring and the people he has around him are genuine human beings. The sponsors could've all moved on to the next guy, but they still helped out where they could which say's a lot about their values.
Thank you for the inspiration bro, and all the best for 2019.
don’t stop being you jessy you are a great role model and an even better person
Laughed, cried, smiled, cheered, and cried again. awesome video about a great couple. Jessy and Emily. Rock on!
I have never met you, Jessy, but I have thought about that day ever since and shed tears about it.
Amazing story big fan of Jessy in Moto and now on RZR 👍 never give up.
In the past year watching your journey had really made me realize that you have to take everything for granted, you are seriously my inspiration, I love you Jessy
American Badass!!!!! I have been a Motocross and Supercross fan and enthusiast for decades. Didn't know the whole story. My heartfelt wishes for his recovery. Extremely motivating. What an attitude!!!!!
Who ever dislikes this has no life honestly
Not only is this video a testament to the human spirit and how it refuses to be broken despite being beaten down and left to die in the muck, but also the importance of having incredible people behind you, whether it's parents, friends, wives, husbands, etc when you're in the process of rebuilding yourself stronger and better than you were before! Also, here's hoping that his upcoming surgery to remove a cyst from his spine is successful and that it helps create a connection in his body to where he regains even more function 'n feeling! This young man is a bad ass and I'll always be a fan!!
To say you are an inspiration would be an understatement, Jessy. You are still living like there is no tomorrow. I also have to say that this video is a great reminder of how tight the moto community is. Keep it up, and good luck this season!!
I was very lucky to meet Jessy today randomly in a neighborhood I was working. I just got done watching the first road 2 recovery the same day I met him. I felt like it happened for a reason I just wish I watched this video before. Thank you Jessy for taking the 5mins to talk to me, you are an inspiration and you helped me out more then you know today.
Tried watching this at work. I failed miserably had had to turn it off and finish it over lunch. Absolutely incredible.
Definitely the best video I´ve seen in a long time. Not easy to watch, nearly cried tbh. But seeing your smile while riding the Polaris made me smile too. You´re a great guy Jessy, thank you for inspiring me and so many other people! #goodvibesonly
A motorcycle accident left me in a chair as well. I use to ride ATV & side by sides every weekend and I lost all of that. Hopefully someday I can ride with my buddies again but at 61 it’s not look to hopeful. Your store is ver inspirational and gives me the glimer of hope we all look for. Good luck with your future endeavors!
woww MAD RESPECT for you Jessy, stay humble and keep rippin
Holy shit I was so close to crying, I really felt for you jessy. It’s so inspirational to hear your positive thoughts about what happend and what you went and are going through. Best of luck on your 2019 season!
First youtube video to bring a tear to my eye. Jessy, you are an inspiration to human beings. I really wish you the best for your future. If we ever cross paths, I hope to see you walk to a bar with me for a drink.
Send It!
Great film, made me cry, and I never do! I love how humble he and his family is, especially his wife! He’s a true warrior!Never quit! I hate ktm but I’m a big Nelson fan
I don't think the word "inspiring" does this enough justice. I mean...wow. You're a boss. It's also amazing to see how many people you have around you who genuinely love and appreciate you. Without a doubt, you'll be walking again.
You're not forgotten about brother...
You will always be one of the true bad asses of our sport...
Unconditional love
Tears of Sadness. Tears of Happiness. Totally Inspirational!!! Go Get 'em Jessy!!!
I've been missing seeing him ride... There's no one like him that's for sure! Such an inspiration. Can't wait to see him dominating on four wheels!
San diago 2017 supercross we bought raffle tickets to support Jessy and my cousin actually won the specially painted fly helmet. That helmet is in South Africa now thats where we from…awesome documentary !!
In the hospital watching this. This is just so inspiring
What a great job on Jessy's story. That was some real life shit! I will be cheering him on in whatever he chooses to do. Good Luck
This story is so inspirational and it definitely makes you appreciate what you have. There are so many simple things that people take for granted in life. Never give up Jessy, and you will walk again!
Your story just touched us all.
Incredible. We all love you here.
Very inspiring, Jessy! Your attitude and perseverance are unmatched, and I wish the best for you moving forward. Been a huge fan in the Moto realm, and after.
This was hard to watch without getting emotional. Jessy you're a badass.
A huge THANK YOU to the people at Polaris for stepping up to this. I followed Jessy's moto career and will continue to follow this new chapter.
Great movie...a big thanks to Jessy and his family for being so candid. To all the sponsors that stuck by Jessy, that shows that they're not corporate greed mongers and the Moto community sees and remembers that. Go get that sweet life Jessy, you deserve it.
Man I may only be 14 but you inspire me to be more and push through and not give up... You are such an inspiration to me and my little brother to go out every weekend and still be thankful if we win or not. Thank you!
This video had ne crying 3 times and I still can't believe what happened😥 You will always be my favourite rider Jessy
I think I cried the las 20 minutes, such a cool guy and his wife is everything you can wish for and more. Im so happy to see him progress.
Jesus man that gave me a lump in my throat. You have the attitude and talent to do whatever you apply yourself to. Honestly wish you all the best in your future, on and off the track! LEGEND.
Best video I have watched in my 51 years of life 👊🏻For the 20 thumbs down individuals...you are some miserable people.
You can do it buddy. So much love from the UK 🇬🇧❤️ You keep enjoying your life, it’s only going to get better. A true inspiration 🙌🙌
Ryan Walters, great job man. Very well produced film. Jessy, you have nothing to hold you back in life with your grounded outlook. You have some BIG support rallying around you because your a winner.
This film should be shown in primary schools across the world.. Take care.
How can someone dislike something that someone has put so much blood, sweat and tears into. Soo inspiring to keep pushing even when times get hard...you got my full respect for sure ✊🏼🤘🏼
I broke both my femurs, pelvis, and back in 2010. I'm lucky to be alive, let alone not paralyzed. I remember every single doctor telling me to quit motocross. I had never been so annoyed in my life...8 weeks later I was back on the bike, just got out of my wheelchair and on crutches lol.
I love this sport and won't hang it up until either I'm dead or totally incapacitated one way or another.
Jessy, you’ve been such a big role model to anyone who knows your story and it’s so cool to see you back racing! You were always my favorite supercross and motocross racer and it looks like now I’ll have a favorite racer in the 4 wheel side! Keep being you and always sending it dude!!!
Damn I’ve never been so close to tears in my life 😥
Your story should be recognized by everyone in sports as the story of person TRULY living life to the absolute FULLEST.
We’re rooting for you Jesse.
Dude keep doing what makes you happy you are a huge inspiration to me you were my favorite Motorcross racer but now you moved on from your accident and kept your head height during the whole recovery and maybe one day you’ll be back on a bike thank you Jessey!!!
Nelson used to be my hero when I was younger because we had the same number. It's crazy that he rode with a missing thumb!
Jessy I truly miss watching you ride!!! I'm truly happy to see that smile on your face. You will always be one of my favorites! Congratulations on your marriage
You’re a huge inspiration to everyone! You have all the amazing things in life that most people take for granted! No doubt you'll get to where you want to go!
Thanks for sharing Jessy!

I love motocross so much but it is such a dangerous sport. I lost a very dear friend as a result of a mx crash. Most of my aches and pains today are from
mx. I wish you nothing but the best Jessy. Keep up the positive attitude and never give up.
