Travis, this is the body shop guy that fixed all your rally cars from04 to 2013. Have not seen you in a few years now. But when I saw you at 100AW’s in 2013 . When I went to work at RA for Bill Fogg. ( who I grew up with , across the street 3 house down) I had just fought cancer and had a bone marrow transplant. Which I was lucky to survive they said. I remember talking with you on the practice stage. We talked about a lot of things that day . But I remember telling you that day I was 50 years old and had beaten my body like you had , but not as hard as you had . But I was paying the price then, for it. I got out of my rally car and stop doing things that could get me hurt again. I now enjoy my SxS. I’ve had many a joint fixed and so be it. You need to be there for your wife and the girls. I’ve done stem cell and Marrow transplant. I just move right and my body pops , snaps and cracks. Best of luck with the treatment and stay safe for the family. I have my sons Taylor and Michael. Micheal you always recognize and said hello to him as a kid and teenager. Now I have my grandson who does all the stuff my boys did . Plus he’s a hockey goalie. You really need to be there for your grandchildren. Cause in 20 years it will be the time. You will be 60 like I am now. It still hurts but it’s manageable now for me. Best of luck Bud . I live the things you have talked about in this video. Lance and Conner want you around for a while. Take care Chris Putzier .
He won't. His attitude towards life in general and cheering others onto to injure/maim/paralyze or kill themselves.....is what makes him,,,him. His daughter begged him,,,,and he left.. KNOWING FULL DAMN WELL HE HAD ZEEEEEERO BUSINESS LEAVING THEM. I love Trav, I do, but his outlook on "life" is not normal,, certainly not family oriented.
@@chevyguy-hf1yqhe honestly seems like a hard working dude that just doesn’t give a shit about normal life. Pretty sure Travis is a huge right wing nut but has kept it seriously quiet but he’s the opposite of what a family man is.
Watching your childhood heroes start to break down is just as sad as watching your old man get old. Take the time Trav, heal up, and spend time with the fam! You owe your fans and friends nothing!!!!!
But the coolest thing about our childhood hero’s is they inspire us and teach us how to be resilient. Sharing their wisdom around how they are healing their bodies after decades of abuse is just as inspiring to me in my 30s as watching a double backflip in my teens.
Part of growing up is learning that all your athletic heroes growing up were and still are deadbeat dads. The only difference between Travis and white trash is a trophy collection.
That's what I came here to say. Trav has done SOO much for the Motocross industry as well as so many other industries his entire life. No shame whatsoever hanging it up where you're at to take time for your Family, no shame at all
Hi Travis. I’m hoping TH-cam will be my way of accessing your knowledge and help me answer a question I have. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend any local rally events this year to speak to you in person. I’d love to hear your preferred DCCD settings in your old STI for sliding and play driving. That video of you sliding down the driveway into a donut, or drifting circles around the Limo were both pretty sweet. I would be ecstatic to hear what you use. Thank you so much.
Been a hell of a ride! This episode starts a little doom and gloom but I learned a lot in the past few months and wanted to share some of these stories for others who are in in pain and invite you all along for our journey. I’ll be back rallying this weekend and feel like I’m on the right track. 40 hit me hard. Looking forward to a new chapter in life with less pain and more time with family and friends. Thanks for supporting channel 199.
G’day Travis, as a fellow broken rider I hope you have some results with the therapy. I grew up with Rhiannon and saw her journey which is great and pleased she is having a fantastic career with you. I broke my back, femur, ankle, wrist, chest, pelvis in a bike crash in 97. Over 45 surgeries and constant pain, but never gave up. Wish I could get stem cell therapy here. Just do what you can and keep your chin up, legends are forever. Say hi to Rhi for me, cheers bud. Billy.
Stem cell therapy cost thousands. Most of us don't have that kind of money. Same injuries from BMX, mountain biking 33 years to 4 decades in law enforcement and not on pain management like many out there. Broken bones, plates and screws, arthritis, torn this and that, gunshot wounds, shrapnel, damaged nerves, multiple repair surgeries, and compression fractures in the L1-2 and 3, broken hands, wrist, both legs, ribband knocked silly a few times. Now cancer but I beat it. Saving up for a used enduro mountain bike just to kick around the neighborhood at 62. Keep rocking but at some point you have to be there for your family. Keep your head clear and switch rolls for a few years. Give the time to your children so they know who you really are. Take them everywhere you go if they aren't in school. And rest. You deserve old age. You earned it the hard way. Nothing wrong with popping wheelies on a bicycle with your kid in front of the house. Thats where we started it all.
Travis I’m a paraplegic in a ♿️ I smashed T3-T4 in an accident, both knees are smashed from FMX & bullriding. I disabled distance jump waterski & wakeboard now though I’m in a chair. I got Brue Cook up wakeboarding now he’s disabled. You, Maddo, Bilko & the other boys keep me going in life. Keep going legend!
Saw you at Philly Supercross, I was in a wheelchair and you made room in the elevator for me to ride with you. Thank you for everything you’ve done and thank you for this.
You will always be the goat Travis ! I broke my neck and back a little over a decade ago . I have a plate in my throat and my lower back was never fixed correctly and live in god awful pain daily. I shake so bad some days my kids have to cut my food up for me and to make things worse I found out I’m going deaf . I’m 47 and somedays can barely take care of myself. I’m just glad you can afford treatments. Being on disability I can barely afford my medication. Thanks for sharing and always being you man !
This is one of the most inspirational videos I've watched in a long time. I grew up along side (vicariously) all of you and Nate and Mike, less not forget Tony and well everyone in extreme sports. Now at 50, life is pain, I need this...
Just watched this and I’m 36 from Ohio. Races Mx many years, tons of injuries and absolutely relate to the sleepless nights and absurd amount of pillows in the bed. I’m going to look into some treatment myself. Thanks so much for sharing
Travis-when I met you at LSFEST the thing that stood out to me was how you were smiling even though you were obviously in a lot of physical pain. I instantly respected your drive to continue even though your body was telling you to stop. However, I'm really glad to see you taking the time to get healthy, dude. Looking forward to seeing you racing again. Good luck! :)
So many people hide so much, it's something people shouldn't have to live with. Pain, from accidents, my case is cancer, is so tough to deal with. I'm really curious with this stem cell treatments.
I just went back and rewatched xgames fmx, bmx, and skate comps from about 02-09 recently. When I was a kid all those guys were like superheroes to me, but seeing how big everyone used to go during that era it is such a blessing a lot of those guys are still with us.
I’ve been watching you push the limits of what’s possible and what was thought to be impossible since your first X-Games appearance. The first thing that came to mind was the pain you were going to be in when you got older. And here we are. As a former MX racer and all around stunt nut I get it. It’s hard to stop doing what you love. I’m 63 going on 19 and still do shit I shouldn’t be doing, but I’m better at knowing my limitations. Please please stop putting your health a risk and get your body and overall comfort back. YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE. You are a true legend. ❤💪
That clip with Eric ronner brought a tear to my eye. I went back and started rewatching all the old nitro circus episodes. It’s so crazy to believe how much all of my childhood hero’s have changed. Please take care of yourself brother and keep being you.
Protect yourself at all costs, Travis! You have already inspired millions of people to push the boundaries of their chosen discipline, and will continue to do so even after stepping away due to the massive legacy of accomplishments you have achieved. Stay safe 👍🏻
@@andybell8847 you and all of the original nitro circus crew are my childhood heroes ! stay healthy - we all love you guys and you deserve to have a good life !
TP THANK YOU! Thank you for putting this out there! I hope you're doing better! I hope all of you legends of the extreme sports world are doing better! You earned a life with no pain and just to enjoy the world now and keep having fun and enjoy your family's!
Born for fun!! All of you are idols to us, take care and keep life interesting, we know we need that from all you guys. Hope to meet all of you down there!!! Cheers 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
This has been great to watch. I just hit 41 and my back, right knees, both ankles and my wrists, mainly right are always in pain from getting into BMX at the age of 12. I have a 3 year old daughter and playing with such a ball of energy like she is is hard to keep up with her so it's great to learn about this stuff that may help all of us who have written off our bodies. Travis if you read this tell Nate I have a Failure A Muerte prototype frame tucked away that was gifted to me by a friend who helped out ramp building back in the day.. keep doing what you do dudes 🤙🏼
Word !! Mad Love !! Thank you so very much for talking about this type of stuff. For so long men just say suck it up and if you talk at all about something like pain, instant rejection or something about you complaining. Iv lived with chronic pain since I was teenager, 30 odd years and counting, So, it's great to see Pro's talking openly about this stuff. Thank you to everyone involved with this video.. It is awesome and inspiring !!!
You have done than anyone for the extreme sport scene and you dont owe anyone anything! You still give everyone the chance they deserve to be an amazing inspiration like yourself. Take care of yourself and family ❤ you deserve to live a long happy life
I was an automotive technician for 25 years and blew my wrists out. I have both wrists completely fused and now both of my shoulders hurt all the time from overcompensation! I feel your pain! And 2 years ago working in automotive parts sales I blew my l4-l5 disc and had a disceotomy. I hurt every freaking day! I feel your pain! I loved my technician job and felt I lost my identity after that!
I feel you brother. Working laborious jobs for a living is both rewarding and taxing on our bodies. I worked construction doing framing for over 20 years. I have had surgeries for carpel tunnel and dealing daily with the pain of pinched nerves in my c7. Knees and elbows hurt everyday. But I had to make a living for my family, it's the only job I know and didn't have money or time to go to school for a new job
Thanks for the video Travis! In 2011 I broke C1 in 3spots and T-6--T-9 compression fx. 250A VCHSS.... Hit a tree n over bars then hit another like a spear 40mph pinned head first! 2months later I was riding wheelies across the Ravens parking lot without a helmet and became wise! Haven't riden since and have managed pain every day! I'm going to look into stem cells! THANK YOU 🙏
You’re a legend in my book the things you’ve accomplished are outa this world buddy! Go home and be with your family you deserve it. My shoulder comes out in my sleep to I dropped a 40ft ladder tripped over a rock never let go of the ladder arm was out for hours
You are the best, the legend, such an inspiration, the most exciting moment for me every year was to watch you at x games with my father. You were my role model growing up, wish all the best ❤️ greetings from 🇧🇷
I stem celled in one of my shoulders. I was hoping it'd work, but didnt xpect it to. Well it did. TG. It was $6000. I paid over a yr. Glad i did. I felt it was a better alernative than to open my shoulder up again and have hardware put im me. The stem cell worked for me. Did it in Vegas, Vitale Health. Amazing staff.
Goes without too much mention that you are one of the GOATs in motor sports, props to your wife.. I doubt many know how much she goes through ..... (another GOAT she is..)
U da man Travis! Good on you for putting a video out like this for others to see. Honestly in my eyes realizing where you’re at and taking the time off to help yourself makes you an even bigger man for doing so! You’re a Beast bro! 💪🏽
I always saw you as a goofy dude. But in reality you're much more. You have taken a passion to a new level. I cannot believe how you could even think about getting back on the bike, or in a car after these accidents. Even the FIRST!! You are an inspiration that kids need to see these days. We don't have people like you anymore and the world needs leaders. When I say leaders, I'm talking the people who show us what the human body is capable of achieving, while smiling ear to ear the entire time. You're jokes could use some work, but don't stop. Thanks TP!!
Hey Travis. I just wanted to say that I respect you more than any person on earth... You have gone through so much and have carried yourself through more pain than anyone I have ever herd of... I have a bone marrow disease and my bones break really easily. I have had around 56 broken bones several suugerys several pins screws n rods added to my body, my buddy's call me Frankenstein lol. I just wanted to say watching you through these years go through the same things same pain and the way you pushed through kept me going in my life more times than I can count... I've been watching you since krusty demons of dirt and you have had an amazing life.... I thank you for all the entertainment and amazing feats you have performed through the years... You have truly give me hope when I had none so thank you again you will be missed we love and respect and appreciate you. You are a modern-day Superman for me take care of yourself bud... Don't let yourself grow to the recliner
You inspire the world on the track and off. World icon. Take care of you first and the support and endless milestones will keep coming. Thank you for all you do Travis.
Travis.. I think I speak for everyone when I you’ve more then paid your dues you own no one nothing. You’ve given this community more than I can explain.. I’m 37 yrs old and been following you since I was a teen. Take care of yourself sir.
Been looking into this for a long while now. It's nice that Travis and Cowboy have access to this medical technology. For the average person, good luck. Thousands and thousands of dollars are required for these simple injections.
I'm 44 and have horrible Arthritis in both of my shoulders. I'm glad im not alone with the sleeping issues. I wake up 10 times a night adjusting pillows, repositioning to find the sweet spot where i can fall back to sleep but rarely ever find it. This video gives me hope.
Being the same age as Travis and growing up watching him was amazing. Dude you've given the world so much. Heal up. Spend time with fam. You owe us nothing. Just being present is enough for the world. Don't need to do 1 million miles an hr anymore. The world loves you
Thanks so much for this video Travis and all the boys! Stem cell treatment should have been mainstream decades ago but they clearly don’t want healthier people do they… Thank god for the people that stuck to it all these years and it’s finally becoming more and more common! Not only was this video great promotion of an incredible and vital health procedures… It was an insight to what it’s like to be in pain constantly… Pillow’s in bed really hit home for me 😪… I’ve been on work cover here in Australia for nearly 4 years now from when I fell off a brick wall and busted ligaments and cartilage in my wrist at work, come the surgery they also did an ulnar bone reduction and those surgeries made it even worse! Now half my arm is constantly sore with nerve pain from my finger tips to me elbow and sometimes even higher, my ulnar bone they gave a 2mm reduction to now sends shooting pains up the bone and the plate with some of the smallest fine, and mass motor actions let alone trying to pick up something not even heavy, let alone something with a little bit of weight 😪 To top it all off, the insurer that pays my work cover wage constantly tries to discredit me with “apparent independent doctors” that always have a scripted set of question that always seem to favour the insurers true motives, and agendas! The most recent one was so blatant in trying to attack my credibility that he even tried to question my Doctor’s credibility… Mind you this psychiatrist was a complete stranger that made this assessment over a 1 hour zoom call 🤢🤦♂️ It’s all just about money with these arseholes!! My chilhood friend recently committed suicide 3 days after Christmas last year, he was on work cover for 2 years, with double carpal tunnel (both hands) 4 surgery’s later with no help (found out later we had the SAME SURGEON 😪🤬) well he couldn’t take the pain, and the constant persecution of workcover anymore and took his life at just 32 years old 😭💔His loved ones left to pick up the pieces while work cover and the insurer get away with another person they don’t have to pay for or compensate… I wonder why they try so hard to discredit, humiliate, and persecute people at their lowest point in their life with constant pain from their injury and some how they get away with such actions 🤢🤬.. It’s disgusting!!! I wouldn’t wish this on my enemy 😪 Just writing this on my phone hurts so much, it’s crazy how much just one vital limb you use every second of the day can effect your life… Let alone how beat up you guys are!! My heart goes out to anyone that’s out their struggling with constant pain!! Let’s hope stem cells become mainstream for all of us… I really hope it does 🙏🙏 Much love to you guys for everything you do, and have done for so long now 🙏🤘❤️🔥
You’ve given all of us so much joy over the last nearly 2 decades it’s now time for you to be selfish and do what you need to do if that means we don’t get to see you doing what you’ve done for all those years so be it now it’s time to love your family cheers mate.
Hey brother just letting you know you are by far one of the gnarliest ever totally understand what you're saying I wrecked my right knee horribly many times in Motocross I couldn't even chase my kids around the yard even with a brace on I just finally had a knee replacement at 46 just to be able to play with my two kids and we have one more on the way March 22nd I can't even imagine this having the amount of injuries you have I totally understand having to take the time to do what you have to do for your family and for yourself
oh brother I’ve been watching you since you started and I feel your pain because I’m 52 I have three children and as I’ve been lucky to not have any fusions done, I have had several portions of disc removed. One of them literally had me paralyzed I wonder if you ever had any luck with epidural steroid injections. The hardest thing of all is the living and dealing with the pain without medicating. The only time I take any narcotics is when I have to go to the hospital and they put them in me between skateboards, BMX bikes, dirt bikes, and racing mud trucks my spine is trash, but yet I still build and do stupid stuff, my two-stroke powered golf cart nearly killed me once so like you, I save those toys for the younger kids/adults take it easy you inspire younger to stretch the limits. Let them take the risk enjoy the life you’ve made bro
Very relatable. Did BMX, raced motorcycles sport and mx, but still ride, still skateboard, still surf, and I live my life in constant pain. 2 knee surgeries, no cartilage, cadaver ligaments, 4 blown out disks in my back. I just want to be able to play with my daughter and not be in constant pain. Been looking into this but there's no way I can afford it unfortunately. Best of luck to you guys. You, Nate, Escamilla and Bell were the guys I looked up to. Now at 40+ yrs old we all feel what we put our bodies through.
Thank you all for mentioning the damn pillows. I have an old and broken couch I can't throw away because I have to sleep on it once a week to "reset" my back. And Travis...thanks for getting old with me (48). I don't know you but I know I'd miss you.
Travis, you are a legend. When we met you at the Festival of Speed you would never tell you were in anything but peak condition. Hope the process goes well.
Great video trav I been through a lot of surgeries to keep legs from moto injuries and stem cells is on the list and this video is a great way to share that this actually works. Appreciate you and thank you 😊
Retire and do family. You’re the undisputed goat already. Thanks for all the entertainment. You honestly are the goat and people can argue about where you are the goat.
Travis mf Pastrana, you have been inspiring me since I was able to go outside. I was 8 years old watching you land that XGames double backflip and I swore to my mom I would be a dirt bike rider. I now sell art for a living, so obviously I have drawn inspiration from few people, but you are an absolute legend to me. It makes me so fucking happy seeing you ride off into the sunset, heal up and stay safe, big dawg.
I'm in my 50s and also dealing with the pain and consequences of the stupid (but fun) stuff I did on motor bikes, MTBs, and snowboards in my youth. I've chosen not to get mechanical joints but to work on helping my body heal itself. Between nutritional changes, mental visualisation and focused exercises it is working, but very slowly, so I've just been researching stem cells when this video popped up. Great timing, and like you, I wouldn't change a thing, but I'm over being in constant pain.Thank you.
Right on brother, been a fan of yours since back in your mini mx days..always enjoy watching you dominate the action sports world. Glad to hear your feeling better and positive for your future. You have given the world enough great moments and when you do retire, whenever that is you will always be remembered as the best in alot of our minds and hearts. 👍👊🤘😎
Travis I tried to get stem cells 15 years ago with no luck I currently suffer from A torn rotator cuff on the left side my right is not far away my fingers are numb on both hands my feet ache to walk or wear any shoes yes I have all shaped feet and four or five traumatic brain injuries it’s difficult to concentrate I feel like my life is nothing but pain and suffering I’ve been a carpenter my entire life looking forward toConnect with your stem cell people just so I can spend the rest of my life without being in pain or brain fog thank you for put it on the show yes I should y’all want to ride every day single track is my thing. Eric
60 YO here 2 hips , 2 knees , sternum tied with wire , moving ribs All of it is so bad but worth all the fun that i had. Met you and your mom and dad a long time ago , you were a great kid , now a great dad ! Keep on having a blast 199
Great video and thanks so much for sharing. Action sports really taxes your body and not many athletes talk about pain/injuries after competing for years and how to manage it. I’ve been thinking of getting stem cells for a while and this video made it official I need to try.
Thank you for letting us know about this.... My body is 52 my mind is still 21 and I'm not going to lie, the body is starting to really win this battle. I'm sore, I hurt everyday, some days I will just lay in bed and not get up... Thinking that this will help the pain.... It doesn't. I'm going to look into Transend and see if maybe this might be for me..... THANK YOU, Really, from the bottom of my heart... Thank you. Take care, ~Jonny5🥁
You’ve made it this far, it’s okay to take a break. I totally get the hesitation leads to devastation mindset. The trick for me has been to find a risk level that I can consistently pursue and rarely get minor injuries. The less you get injured, the more you ride. The more you ride, the sharper you are, the less you get injured.
Wish this was available in Australia... after lots of broken bones and to many soft tissue injuries to count this hits home... had alot of metal removed last year and just the no sleep ontop of the pain is a nightmare... thankyou for sharing travis. Big love and respect to you mand your family mate
It’s hard on the body when we play hard , but you are exactly right you have to do the things you want to do in your life don’t regret any thing you’ve accomplished because you would regret it even more if you didn’t do it what ever it is . Respect to everyone of you guys for haveing the will and balls to accomplish everything yous have .
Trav, Im 31, ive been watching you all my life and at the same time, watching you crash, get hurt, time after time. Yet you always keep going. Quick life story, I broke my back at 16, started biking and hiking, got crushed by a 91 IROCZ, Crushed my coller bone and ripped my R rotate cuff when I was 20, Tore my R ACL MCL LCL Minicus at 22, got hit by a drunk truck in the mountains riding a ATV, lasserated my back, broke 3 ribs, and dislocated 2. I cant even imagine what you have gone through but you always keep going, no matter how bad you were messed up, you always had a smile at the end. HANDS DOWN! The #1 person I looked up to, was you man! always right back at it, you have been a roll model. I hope things work out for you and the pain goes away cause I know how much it hurts when things are not right.
It was good to see this kind of video. I'm at home recovering from shattered femur/ broken hip with a full hip replacement comming up July 22nd. Haven't taken pain medicine this whole time and it's been super rough but im hoping this hip replacement goes well and after that I'm definitely going to be looking into stem cells.
Please oh please get the body healthy we need you in this world for a long time TP!! You’re a gift to us from the lord and we need to keep you healthy!
I was a wakeboarder and mountain bike rider back in my teens and 20s. Had my fair share of broken bones including broken back and dozens of surgeries but still nothing like what Travis has gone through. Yet I'm in chronic pain every day and it's extremely difficult to deal with. I loved every minute but I definitely have plenty of regrets. I wish I had just liked studying in those days. Lol
MUCH LOVE TO YOU BRO... ALL THE WAY FROM NEWZEALAND WHERE I SAW YOU MANY MANY YEARS AGO/ I MET KEN IN DUNEDIN HE SAID HEY BUDDY YOU WANT AN AUTOGRAPH, I REPLIED NO THANKS JUST HAPPY TO HAVE MET YOU, WE CARRIED ON OUR CHAT AND TALKED ABOUT THE AREA AND THE WAVES
I've broken 10 bones so far, including neck. I got titanium in my neck, I got titanium in my lower back.. Pain all day... I really understand the description of wake up several times every night of pain, i'am doing the same. The hope of that they in some place in future will find the medic solution to get you out of pain is what get you going forward. Cheers from a fellow broken guy in Northern Sweden 🍻
For me the broken bones, surgeries, and pain were the reasons why i never did the anything too extreme. If the chance of breaking a vone is high i wont do it. It always amazed me how people like you guys keep on doing these things. Im in my 30's and myk ees arent greatestand imthinking to myself how i dont want to be that guy who cant kneel down without pain. For me my bodys health is just so important. Just looking at old people or someone whos been chrinically injuring themselves and i get this super uneasy feeling of how difficult their life is.
Travis, this is the body shop guy that fixed all your rally cars from04 to 2013. Have not seen you in a few years now. But when I saw you at 100AW’s in 2013 . When I went to work at RA for Bill Fogg. ( who I grew up with , across the street 3 house down) I had just fought cancer and had a bone marrow transplant. Which I was lucky to survive they said. I remember talking with you on the practice stage. We talked about a lot of things that day . But I remember telling you that day I was 50 years old and had beaten my body like you had , but not as hard as you had . But I was paying the price then, for it. I got out of my rally car and stop doing things that could get me hurt again. I now enjoy my SxS. I’ve had many a joint fixed and so be it. You need to be there for your wife and the girls. I’ve done stem cell and Marrow transplant. I just move right and my body pops , snaps and cracks. Best of luck with the treatment and stay safe for the family. I have my sons Taylor and Michael. Micheal you always recognize and said hello to him as a kid and teenager. Now I have my grandson who does all the stuff my boys did . Plus he’s a hockey goalie. You really need to be there for your grandchildren. Cause in 20 years it will be the time. You will be 60 like I am now. It still hurts but it’s manageable now for me. Best of luck Bud . I live the things you have talked about in this video. Lance and Conner want you around for a while. Take care Chris Putzier .

Best comment 👌
That's what I came here to say. Trav has done SOO much for the Motocross industry as well as so many other industries his entire life. No shame whatsoever hanging it up where you're at to take time for your Family, no shame at all
Sorry for the re-post, we had some surgery footage in the first edit that TH-cam flagged.
Ironic... Just broke my back Sunday at the trails... 3rd time...I guess I'm done 😥
🏴❤️🇺🇸💥🎉🥳
Love you bro. Ride or die. At 45 I can fill every crash now. Old is just a state of mind.
Hi Travis. I’m hoping TH-cam will be my way of accessing your knowledge and help me answer a question I have. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend any local rally events this year to speak to you in person.
I’d love to hear your preferred DCCD settings in your old STI for sliding and play driving. That video of you sliding down the driveway into a donut, or drifting circles around the Limo were both pretty sweet. I would be ecstatic to hear what you use. Thank you so much.
Hope you see my other post Travis
HBOT
Been a hell of a ride! This episode starts a little doom and gloom but I learned a lot in the past few months and wanted to share some of these stories for others who are in in pain and invite you all along for our journey. I’ll be back rallying this weekend and feel like I’m on the right track. 40 hit me hard. Looking forward to a new chapter in life with less pain and more time with family and friends. Thanks for supporting channel 199.
G’day Travis, as a fellow broken rider I hope you have some results with the therapy. I grew up with Rhiannon and saw her journey which is great and pleased she is having a fantastic career with you. I broke my back, femur, ankle, wrist, chest, pelvis in a bike crash in 97. Over 45 surgeries and constant pain, but never gave up. Wish I could get stem cell therapy here. Just do what you can and keep your chin up, legends are forever. Say hi to Rhi for me, cheers bud. Billy.
We never plan to be 40. But it happens. Glad your taking care
As a long term TBI sufferer this restores some hope. Thanks Travis
God Bless you.and your family.n America,,,So amazing n an icon to say the least,,we love you Travis
443 subs? Something doesn't seem right...
Stem cell therapy cost thousands. Most of us don't have that kind of money. Same injuries from BMX, mountain biking 33 years to 4 decades in law enforcement and not on pain management like many out there. Broken bones, plates and screws, arthritis, torn this and that, gunshot wounds, shrapnel, damaged nerves, multiple repair surgeries, and compression fractures in the L1-2 and 3, broken hands, wrist, both legs, ribband knocked silly a few times. Now cancer but I beat it. Saving up for a used enduro mountain bike just to kick around the neighborhood at 62. Keep rocking but at some point you have to be there for your family. Keep your head clear and switch rolls for a few years. Give the time to your children so they know who you really are. Take them everywhere you go if they aren't in school. And rest. You deserve old age. You earned it the hard way. Nothing wrong with popping wheelies on a bicycle with your kid in front of the house. Thats where we started it all.
Well said man.
Go overseas for stem cell therapy, affordable and 1000% ahead of us here in the USA.
It works better than the very expensive things our insurance pays for. With less side effects.
@@m.bird. insurance won't cover stem cell therapy.
Republican want to ban stem cell research and IVF... and porn
Travis I’m a paraplegic in a ♿️ I smashed T3-T4 in an accident, both knees are smashed from FMX & bullriding. I disabled distance jump waterski & wakeboard now though I’m in a chair. I got Brue Cook up wakeboarding now he’s disabled. You, Maddo, Bilko & the other boys keep me going in life. Keep going legend!
Thats rough man- sorry. You are a legend too. Saw your vids- very cool.
way to roll with it brother.
@@MOAB-UT all good just got to keep on pushing. Thanks for checking them out mate.
@@jeffminnich3291 really appreciate mate.
Trav needs to be protected at all costs!!!
Travis, you have already proven yourself. Love you bro.
as a retired US Army Paratrooper and now fighting two types of cancer I can understand pain. Good luck to all of you guys
Saw you at Philly Supercross, I was in a wheelchair and you made room in the elevator for me to ride with you. Thank you for everything you’ve done and thank you for this.
You will always be the goat Travis ! I broke my neck and back a little over a decade ago . I have a plate in my throat and my lower back was never fixed correctly and live in god awful pain daily. I shake so bad some days my kids have to cut my food up for me and to make things worse I found out I’m going deaf . I’m 47 and somedays can barely take care of myself. I’m just glad you can afford treatments. Being on disability I can barely afford my medication. Thanks for sharing and always being you man !
THE reason we have action sports... I'm 54 but you're my hero!! You will heal travis!!
Nobody tougher than you
I’ve had 3 back surgeries and I’m in pain everyday. Watching Travis I’m in awe. I don’t know how.
try mulltiday fasting ... its amazing. Jason Fung is the foremost expert, youll see a
h u g e improvement in pain
This is one of the most inspirational videos I've watched in a long time. I grew up along side (vicariously) all of you and Nate and Mike, less not forget Tony and well everyone in extreme sports. Now at 50, life is pain, I need this...
Just watched this and I’m 36 from Ohio. Races Mx many years, tons of injuries and absolutely relate to the sleepless nights and absurd amount of pillows in the bed. I’m going to look into some treatment myself. Thanks so much for sharing
Travis you’ve given us enough man, take care if your body and family first
Travis-when I met you at LSFEST the thing that stood out to me was how you were smiling even though you were obviously in a lot of physical pain. I instantly respected your drive to continue even though your body was telling you to stop. However, I'm really glad to see you taking the time to get healthy, dude. Looking forward to seeing you racing again. Good luck! :)
So many people hide so much, it's something people shouldn't have to live with. Pain, from accidents, my case is cancer, is so tough to deal with. I'm really curious with this stem cell treatments.
I just went back and rewatched xgames fmx, bmx, and skate comps from about 02-09 recently. When I was a kid all those guys were like superheroes to me, but seeing how big everyone used to go during that era it is such a blessing a lot of those guys are still with us.
I’ve been watching you push the limits of what’s possible and what was thought to be impossible since your first X-Games appearance. The first thing that came to mind was the pain you were going to be in when you got older. And here we are. As a former MX racer and all around stunt nut I get it. It’s hard to stop doing what you love. I’m 63 going on 19 and still do shit I shouldn’t be doing, but I’m better at knowing my limitations. Please please stop putting your health a risk and get your body and overall comfort back. YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE. You are a true legend. ❤💪
Travis you have been my idol since 8 years old. Love you man! Stay Strong 👊🏻
That clip with Eric ronner brought a tear to my eye. I went back and started rewatching all the old nitro circus episodes. It’s so crazy to believe how much all of my childhood hero’s have changed. Please take care of yourself brother and keep being you.
Ps I’m 31 now and yall are still my hero’s it’s been an incredible journey just as a fan. I hope I get to meet you one day.
Protect yourself at all costs, Travis!
You have already inspired millions of people to push the boundaries of their chosen discipline, and will continue to do so even after stepping away due to the massive legacy of accomplishments you have achieved.
Stay safe 👍🏻
52 year old here. This really hit home with me. I am glad there are some solutions for us.
Love you Travis, and as a fan I support your decision 💯 %! Best of luck with the SC's. I'll stay tuned.
its cool seeing andy again after all these years
I'm still kicking!!! Ha
@@andybell8847 you and all of the original nitro circus crew are my childhood heroes ! stay healthy - we all love you guys and you deserve to have a good life !
⬆️ *THIS!* 🤣👍 Awesome.
You rule!
Dude this video was so real & awesome - Thanks for sharing !
TP THANK YOU! Thank you for putting this out there! I hope you're doing better! I hope all of you legends of the extreme sports world are doing better! You earned a life with no pain and just to enjoy the world now and keep having fun and enjoy your family's!
Born for fun!!
All of you are idols to us, take care and keep life interesting, we know we need that from all you guys.
Hope to meet all of you down there!!!
Cheers 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thank all you guys for sharing something that we all generally don't talk about after a life of action sports, I really look up to all of you.
This has been great to watch. I just hit 41 and my back, right knees, both ankles and my wrists, mainly right are always in pain from getting into BMX at the age of 12. I have a 3 year old
daughter and playing with such a ball of energy like she is is hard to keep up with her so it's great to learn about this stuff that may help all of us who have written off our bodies. Travis if you read this tell Nate I have a Failure A Muerte prototype frame tucked away that was gifted to me by a friend who helped out ramp building back in the day.. keep doing what you do dudes 🤙🏼
Word !! Mad Love !! Thank you so very much for talking about this type of stuff.
For so long men just say suck it up and if you talk at all about something like pain, instant rejection or something about you complaining. Iv lived with chronic pain since I was teenager, 30 odd years and counting, So, it's great to see Pro's talking openly about this stuff.
Thank you to everyone involved with this video.. It is awesome and inspiring !!!
You have done than anyone for the extreme sport scene and you dont owe anyone anything! You still give everyone the chance they deserve to be an amazing inspiration like yourself. Take care of yourself and family ❤ you deserve to live a long happy life
Emotional start we love u trav . Best of luck u bloody legend .love from australia
Thank You Travis For All The Great Memories Bro!! Been Watching You Sense The Early Days Of CRUSTYS Demon Of Dirt’!! Your A Legend Champ!!
I was an automotive technician for 25 years and blew my wrists out. I have both wrists completely fused and now both of my shoulders hurt all the time from overcompensation! I feel your pain! And 2 years ago working in automotive parts sales I blew my l4-l5 disc and had a disceotomy. I hurt every freaking day! I feel your pain! I loved my technician job and felt I lost my identity after that!
I feel you brother.
Working laborious jobs for a living is both rewarding and taxing on our bodies.
I worked construction doing framing for over 20 years.
I have had surgeries for carpel tunnel and dealing daily with the pain of pinched nerves in my c7. Knees and elbows hurt everyday. But I had to make a living for my family, it's the only job I know and didn't have money or time to go to school for a new job
Thanks for the video Travis! In 2011 I broke C1 in 3spots and T-6--T-9 compression fx. 250A VCHSS.... Hit a tree n over bars then hit another like a spear 40mph pinned head first! 2months later I was riding wheelies across the Ravens parking lot without a helmet and became wise! Haven't riden since and have managed pain every day! I'm going to look into stem cells! THANK YOU 🙏
You’re a legend in my book the things you’ve accomplished are outa this world buddy! Go home and be with your family you deserve it. My shoulder comes out in my sleep to I dropped a 40ft ladder tripped over a rock never let go of the ladder arm was out for hours
You are the best, the legend, such an inspiration, the most exciting moment for me every year was to watch you at x games with my father. You were my role model growing up, wish all the best ❤️ greetings from 🇧🇷
I stem celled in one of my shoulders. I was hoping it'd work, but didnt xpect it to. Well it did. TG. It was $6000. I paid over a yr. Glad i did. I felt it was a better alernative than to open my shoulder up again and have hardware put im me. The stem cell worked for me. Did it in Vegas, Vitale Health. Amazing staff.
You’re a legend in my book the things you’ve accomplished are outa this world buddy! Go home and be with your family you deserve it
Goes without too much mention that you are one of the GOATs in motor sports, props to your wife.. I doubt many know how much she goes through ..... (another GOAT she is..)
U da man Travis! Good on you for putting a video out like this for others to see. Honestly in my eyes realizing where you’re at and taking the time off to help yourself makes you an even bigger man for doing so! You’re a Beast bro! 💪🏽
I always saw you as a goofy dude. But in reality you're much more. You have taken a passion to a new level. I cannot believe how you could even think about getting back on the bike, or in a car after these accidents. Even the FIRST!!
You are an inspiration that kids need to see these days. We don't have people like you anymore and the world needs leaders. When I say leaders, I'm talking the people who show us what the human body is capable of achieving, while smiling ear to ear the entire time. You're jokes could use some work, but don't stop. Thanks TP!!
Hey Travis. I just wanted to say that I respect you more than any person on earth... You have gone through so much and have carried yourself through more pain than anyone I have ever herd of... I have a bone marrow disease and my bones break really easily. I have had around 56 broken bones several suugerys several pins screws n rods added to my body, my buddy's call me Frankenstein lol. I just wanted to say watching you through these years go through the same things same pain and the way you pushed through kept me going in my life more times than I can count... I've been watching you since krusty demons of dirt and you have had an amazing life.... I thank you for all the entertainment and amazing feats you have performed through the years... You have truly give me hope when I had none so thank you again you will be missed we love and respect and appreciate you. You are a modern-day Superman for me take care of yourself bud... Don't let yourself grow to the recliner
You inspire the world on the track and off. World icon. Take care of you first and the support and endless milestones will keep coming. Thank you for all you do Travis.
Travis.. I think I speak for everyone when I you’ve more then paid your dues you own no one nothing. You’ve given this community more than I can explain.. I’m 37 yrs old and been following you since I was a teen. Take care of yourself sir.
Been looking into this for a long while now. It's nice that Travis and Cowboy have access to this medical technology. For the average person, good luck. Thousands and thousands of dollars are required for these simple injections.
Do you actually know the cost of this? Looking into the pricing and how it all works money wise.
I'm 44 and have horrible Arthritis in both of my shoulders. I'm glad im not alone with the sleeping issues. I wake up 10 times a night adjusting pillows, repositioning to find the sweet spot where i can fall back to sleep but rarely ever find it. This video gives me hope.
Being the same age as Travis and growing up watching him was amazing. Dude you've given the world so much. Heal up. Spend time with fam. You owe us nothing. Just being present is enough for the world. Don't need to do 1 million miles an hr anymore. The world loves you
Thanks so much for this video Travis and all the boys! Stem cell treatment should have been mainstream decades ago but they clearly don’t want healthier people do they… Thank god for the people that stuck to it all these years and it’s finally becoming more and more common! Not only was this video great promotion of an incredible and vital health procedures… It was an insight to what it’s like to be in pain constantly… Pillow’s in bed really hit home for me 😪…
I’ve been on work cover here in Australia for nearly 4 years now from when I fell off a brick wall and busted ligaments and cartilage in my wrist at work, come the surgery they also did an ulnar bone reduction and those surgeries made it even worse! Now half my arm is constantly sore with nerve pain from my finger tips to me elbow and sometimes even higher, my ulnar bone they gave a 2mm reduction to now sends shooting pains up the bone and the plate with some of the smallest fine, and mass motor actions let alone trying to pick up something not even heavy, let alone something with a little bit of weight 😪 To top it all off, the insurer that pays my work cover wage constantly tries to discredit me with “apparent independent doctors” that always have a scripted set of question that always seem to favour the insurers true motives, and agendas! The most recent one was so blatant in trying to attack my credibility that he even tried to question my Doctor’s credibility… Mind you this psychiatrist was a complete stranger that made this assessment over a 1 hour zoom call 🤢🤦♂️ It’s all just about money with these arseholes!! My chilhood friend recently committed suicide 3 days after Christmas last year, he was on work cover for 2 years, with double carpal tunnel (both hands) 4 surgery’s later with no help (found out later we had the SAME SURGEON 😪🤬) well he couldn’t take the pain, and the constant persecution of workcover anymore and took his life at just 32 years old 😭💔His loved ones left to pick up the pieces while work cover and the insurer get away with another person they don’t have to pay for or compensate… I wonder why they try so hard to discredit, humiliate, and persecute people at their lowest point in their life with constant pain from their injury and some how they get away with such actions 🤢🤬.. It’s disgusting!!! I wouldn’t wish this on my enemy 😪
Just writing this on my phone hurts so much, it’s crazy how much just one vital limb you use every second of the day can effect your life… Let alone how beat up you guys are!!
My heart goes out to anyone that’s out their struggling with constant pain!! Let’s hope stem cells become mainstream for all of us… I really hope it does 🙏🙏
Much love to you guys for everything you do, and have done for so long now 🙏🤘❤️🔥
You’ve given all of us so much joy over the last nearly 2 decades it’s now time for you to be selfish and do what you need to do if that means we don’t get to see you doing what you’ve done for all those years so be it now it’s time to love your family cheers mate.
Hey brother just letting you know you are by far one of the gnarliest ever totally understand what you're saying I wrecked my right knee horribly many times in Motocross I couldn't even chase my kids around the yard even with a brace on I just finally had a knee replacement at 46 just to be able to play with my two kids and we have one more on the way March 22nd I can't even imagine this having the amount of injuries you have I totally understand having to take the time to do what you have to do for your family and for yourself
Thanks for sharing this I too suffer from back surgeries this gives me hope at a time of need!
oh brother I’ve been watching you since you started and I feel your pain because I’m 52 I have three children and as I’ve been lucky to not have any fusions done, I have had several portions of disc removed. One of them literally had me paralyzed I wonder if you ever had any luck with epidural steroid injections. The hardest thing of all is the living and dealing with the pain without medicating. The only time I take any narcotics is when I have to go to the hospital and they put them in me between skateboards, BMX bikes, dirt bikes, and racing mud trucks my spine is trash, but yet I still build and do stupid stuff, my two-stroke powered golf cart nearly killed me once so like you, I save those toys for the younger kids/adults take it easy you inspire younger to stretch the limits. Let them take the risk enjoy the life you’ve made bro
Very relatable. Did BMX, raced motorcycles sport and mx, but still ride, still skateboard, still surf, and I live my life in constant pain. 2 knee surgeries, no cartilage, cadaver ligaments, 4 blown out disks in my back. I just want to be able to play with my daughter and not be in constant pain. Been looking into this but there's no way I can afford it unfortunately. Best of luck to you guys. You, Nate, Escamilla and Bell were the guys I looked up to. Now at 40+ yrs old we all feel what we put our bodies through.
Thank you all for mentioning the damn pillows. I have an old and broken couch I can't throw away because I have to sleep on it once a week to "reset" my back.
And Travis...thanks for getting old with me (48). I don't know you but I know I'd miss you.
Very excited for Travis to be Travis.
Grew up seeing that nothing is impossible. Your passion to push limits and the can't do.
Helped me out.
Travis, you are a legend. When we met you at the Festival of Speed you would never tell you were in anything but peak condition. Hope the process goes well.
travis done by far enough for like 10 lifetimes, i hope he does chill out to be honest he's a great personality we need around for a long time
Travis has done enough for us fans so many first Evers take the time to be with your family I lost my dad 3 years ago
Great video trav I been through a lot of surgeries to keep legs from moto injuries and stem cells is on the list and this video is a great way to share that this actually works. Appreciate you and thank you 😊
Retire and do family. You’re the undisputed goat already. Thanks for all the entertainment. You honestly are the goat and people can argue about where you are the goat.
Travis mf Pastrana, you have been inspiring me since I was able to go outside. I was 8 years old watching you land that XGames double backflip and I swore to my mom I would be a dirt bike rider. I now sell art for a living, so obviously I have drawn inspiration from few people, but you are an absolute legend to me. It makes me so fucking happy seeing you ride off into the sunset, heal up and stay safe, big dawg.
I'm in my 50s and also dealing with the pain and consequences of the stupid (but fun) stuff I did on motor bikes, MTBs, and snowboards in my youth. I've chosen not to get mechanical joints but to work on helping my body heal itself. Between nutritional changes, mental visualisation and focused exercises it is working, but very slowly, so I've just been researching stem cells when this video popped up. Great timing, and like you, I wouldn't change a thing, but I'm over being in constant pain.Thank you.
Stem cells have a long way to go. You can try PRP to regulate pain to start as it's much cheaper. Good on you for stopping insulin resistance.
Right on brother, been a fan of yours since back in your mini mx days..always enjoy watching you dominate the action sports world. Glad to hear your feeling better and positive for your future. You have given the world enough great moments and when you do retire, whenever that is you will always be remembered as the best in alot of our minds and hearts. 👍👊🤘😎
Time to say thank you!
One of my best motocross days as a visitor MXdN 2000!
Seeing footage of Nate at chenga was awesome! Need some more of that! Take all the time you need and then some Travis
Travis I tried to get stem cells 15 years ago with no luck I currently suffer from A torn rotator cuff on the left side my right is not far away my fingers are numb on both hands my feet ache to walk or wear any shoes yes I have all shaped feet and four or five traumatic brain injuries it’s difficult to concentrate I feel like my life is nothing but pain and suffering I’ve been a carpenter my entire life looking forward toConnect with your stem cell people just so I can spend the rest of my life without being in pain or brain fog thank you for put it on the show yes I should y’all want to ride every day single track is my thing.
Eric
Travis is a Legend! Hope you get to feeling better, good video!
60 YO here
2 hips , 2 knees , sternum tied with wire , moving ribs
All of it is so bad but worth all the fun that i had.
Met you and your mom and dad a long time ago , you were a great kid , now a great dad !
Keep on having a blast 199
I’ve watched you do amazing things on a motorcycle since crusty demons of dirty. Not mad at you for trying to heal up. I’ll always be a fan.
The world needs you in one piece, physically and mentally…
Great video and thanks so much for sharing. Action sports really taxes your body and not many athletes talk about pain/injuries after competing for years and how to manage it.
I’ve been thinking of getting stem cells for a while and this video made it official I need to try.
Thank you for letting us know about this.... My body is 52 my mind is still 21 and I'm not going to lie, the body is starting to really win this battle.
I'm sore, I hurt everyday, some days I will just lay in bed and not get up... Thinking that this will help the pain.... It doesn't.
I'm going to look into Transend and see if maybe this might be for me.....
THANK YOU, Really, from the bottom of my heart...
Thank you.
Take care,
~Jonny5🥁
You’ve made it this far, it’s okay to take a break. I totally get the hesitation leads to devastation mindset. The trick for me has been to find a risk level that I can consistently pursue and rarely get minor injuries. The less you get injured, the more you ride. The more you ride, the sharper you are, the less you get injured.
Wish this was available in Australia... after lots of broken bones and to many soft tissue injuries to count this hits home... had alot of metal removed last year and just the no sleep ontop of the pain is a nightmare... thankyou for sharing travis. Big love and respect to you mand your family mate
These guys pay such a high price.
Wow.
Lord willing they get some relief.
It’s hard on the body when we play hard , but you are exactly right you have to do the things you want to do in your life don’t regret any thing you’ve accomplished because you would regret it even more if you didn’t do it what ever it is . Respect to everyone of you guys for haveing the will and balls to accomplish everything yous have .
Trav, Im 31, ive been watching you all my life and at the same time, watching you crash, get hurt, time after time. Yet you always keep going. Quick life story, I broke my back at 16, started biking and hiking, got crushed by a 91 IROCZ, Crushed my coller bone and ripped my R rotate cuff when I was 20, Tore my R ACL MCL LCL Minicus at 22, got hit by a drunk truck in the mountains riding a ATV, lasserated my back, broke 3 ribs, and dislocated 2. I cant even imagine what you have gone through but you always keep going, no matter how bad you were messed up, you always had a smile at the end. HANDS DOWN! The #1 person I looked up to, was you man! always right back at it, you have been a roll model. I hope things work out for you and the pain goes away cause I know how much it hurts when things are not right.
Thank you for this video. Been working on power lines for close to 15 years and my body is hammered. Going to look into this
Thank you C199 for talking about things that don't always show up under the "big game" lights
It was good to see this kind of video. I'm at home recovering from shattered femur/ broken hip with a full hip replacement comming up July 22nd. Haven't taken pain medicine this whole time and it's been super rough but im hoping this hip replacement goes well and after that I'm definitely going to be looking into stem cells.
Thank you guys, thats plenty of inspiration to go find the right Dr.
Please oh please get the body healthy we need you in this world for a long time TP!! You’re a gift to us from the lord and we need to keep you healthy!
I was a wakeboarder and mountain bike rider back in my teens and 20s. Had my fair share of broken bones including broken back and dozens of surgeries but still nothing like what Travis has gone through. Yet I'm in chronic pain every day and it's extremely difficult to deal with. I loved every minute but I definitely have plenty of regrets. I wish I had just liked studying in those days. Lol
Thank you for sharing - this is such an important message!
Love to you and your family, you're A hero and inspiration to all of us
Travis has taken some of the worlds craziest wins and falls for his fans thank you Travis this guy is god status
Such an inspiration. It was good to see Bell.
MUCH LOVE TO YOU BRO... ALL THE WAY FROM NEWZEALAND WHERE I SAW YOU MANY MANY YEARS AGO/ I MET KEN IN DUNEDIN HE SAID HEY BUDDY YOU WANT AN AUTOGRAPH, I REPLIED NO THANKS JUST HAPPY TO HAVE MET YOU, WE CARRIED ON OUR CHAT AND TALKED ABOUT THE AREA AND THE WAVES
Thanks guys for the info 🏁🏁🏁🏁 I am 56 , I feel the pain of years of work and riding.
I wish you all the best Travis.
Your first XGames double backflip is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen
Thank you for everything ❤
I've broken 10 bones so far, including neck.
I got titanium in my neck, I got titanium in my lower back..
Pain all day...
I really understand the description of wake up several times every night of pain, i'am doing the same.
The hope of that they in some place in future will find the medic solution to get you out of pain is what get you going forward.
Cheers from a fellow broken guy in Northern Sweden 🍻
God bless you young man. i hope there is pain free peace in your near future.
Great that you are showing this side of your journey for those that are riding on your shoulders ❤
For me the broken bones, surgeries, and pain were the reasons why i never did the anything too extreme. If the chance of breaking a vone is high i wont do it. It always amazed me how people like you guys keep on doing these things. Im in my 30's and myk ees arent greatestand imthinking to myself how i dont want to be that guy who cant kneel down without pain. For me my bodys health is just so important. Just looking at old people or someone whos been chrinically injuring themselves and i get this super uneasy feeling of how difficult their life is.
You can be injured walking down the street. Life is for living. Athletes have a different relationship with pain. It's sensory input.
Hay man you have brought the world stuff we would never see if you werent you. You deserve to live out not in pain
You doing this will help so many. Ive been a life long fan but i can relate to what you saying . Huge respect and good luck in the recovery
Your a legend mate, go look after yourself for a bit.
Us fans will still be around to support you.
