Doug Henry is Back on his Yamaha

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

Henry is back on the bike! Is there anyone with more heart and determination?

You can’t not like Doug Henry. The guy is an inspiration and champion of motocross, supercross, supermoto and now disabled athletes. Working with a company called Heal Clothing, Doug was able to get back on two wheels despite his physical limitations. Henry suffered a broken back in 1995 and came back to race successfully for the next decade. He again broke his back in 2007 on his supermoto bike, this time suffering paralysis from the waist down. Just take a look at this photo of Henry now. The special machine has allowed him to get back in the saddle and he’s reportedly hauling ass already. Find out more info at the Heal Clothing website.

Appreciate what you have, folks…

This guy has more determination and toughness than anyone I know! I guess no matter what happens you shouldn't ever throw in the towel.

This guy is amazing. I remember seeing those fox ads back when he first got hurt. They were so rad and the fact that he still rode after that was impressive. Now he's still going at it. There are quite a few of the handicapped riders these days, but Henry's bike looks like it has more of a full cage. Interesting.
