Chest contusions, hairline fractures of the hand and foot,and a hematoma of the elbow -- and all they expect is for him to miss a day of practice? One tough Mutha! And a great racer.

The crazy ****** showed up for the 2nd practice already... in his leathers... click here. Dunno Sparky... you would think anything that would impair his reflexes/attention would be a bad thing. Maybe a local anesthetic... but he still needs the feeling in his hand.

A lot of drugs don't impair. I don't really recall any impairment when taking percocets with my injuries.

I know a lot of dirt bike riders that race with broken ribs etc and do it as long as they can take it. It only prolongs the healing though. His hair line fractures aren't a break all the way through so it isn't like it is shifting around. The pain is from swelling around the area most likely and it probably wouldn't take much to keep the swelling down and the pain away.

These guys are incredible athletes and can endure some serious pain I know that for a fact.

One of the guys I ride dirt with has broken just about every bone you can name even his back.

Recently he was out riding and jumping, cased a jump that sent him flying and hurt 3 or 4 ribs.

Next weekend out riding again and took a spill and now he knows he broke them. Guess what he is still riding.

This guy is just amazing with his tolerance of pain.

As a kid he had a truck in front of him lose a huge truck tire out of the back. He leaned up to the windshield and watched it go up in the air and it came down right through the windshield. It took his nose clean off his face.

He has a fake nose like Michael Jackson... He has my respect...

Also depends on what hand. Left hand isn't as busy as the right. Still admirable that he's toughing it out. Adrenaline is a very strong drug, too.
