Crashing BIG on Larocco’s Leap

#motocross
This Week in MXA, episode 186, presented by O’Neal, follows Josh Mosiman through the RedBud National where Josh crashed on Larocco’s Leap during press day and ended up with a concussion and a broken collarbone. Thankfully, we had a big crew representing MXA at RedBud with Dennis Stapleton, Josh Fout and the Bushnell family all racing amateur day. This video shows the mental challenges of racing at the highest level.

Nothing to be embarrassed about, Thats a big jump, hang in there Josh.

[@mikestockdale808]

100%

[@CI55511]

Couldn’t agree more - get well soon Josh

[@723trace]

id be emabarssed AF' if i signed for a team in canada and ate shit in a different series that didn't earn me points, or anything. Team canada is pissed at moisman for goofing off for sure.

[@steveabt8598]

Heal up keep up guy keep up the good work, I like Race Tech suspension better 👍

[@cvdavis]

Absolutely

[@SupervisorJimLahey]

None of us in the comment section would have the balls to hit the leap, you’re an animal 🤘🏼

[@matthewlab3834]

Yup!!

[@dontbeoffended486]

Wild Ass Rabid Animal

[@brianwills4398]

You're probably right. But if sexton offered to lead, why not let him.

[@SupervisorJimLahey]

@@brianwills4398 Sexton sure did say that but at the end of the day I’m sure sexton wasn’t thinking about that when they were on the track

[@brianwills4398]

@SupervisorJimLahey yeah , probably not. Have you ever seen the leap in person?

[@alexkean2942]

No reason to be embarrassed Josh. None of us mortals would even attempt the Leap. Rest up and heal up! Love your videos with MXA!

[@CryptoJace]

100%

[@suzukirmz250]

I mean I would, but I already have a plate in one collar bone and would love a matching set

[@jpesicka999]

You leaped it man. Got the collarbone to prove it.

[@guest6423]

I'm a little bit teary watching this because Josh is such a good human being, and it's hard to see him having a hard time. Congrats to you, Josh, for accomplishing so much, and always striving for more!

[@scottphillips445]

You are my #1 favorite motocross test pilot and a great asset for MXA. You have balls of steel!

[@DamonCT]

Man the "woo..redbud" as you walked out of the hospital was hilarious. Glad you're okay.

[@JanASS1991]

Josh, You are a warrior! Glad that it’s „only” a collarbone and You will be back at the bike in a no time. You got really unlucky on that jump. Heal up, rest well and I hope that we will see more Nationals attempts from You next year. 🙏🏻🙌🏻

[@BuckC]

Was not looking forward to seeing Josh get smoked on the Leap, but no one will ever say the MXA Wrecking Crew doesn't give it 100%. Heal up, Josh!

[@shawnhorne9296]

I was right there my man I was just glad when you got up , best of luck heal fast , tks mxa

[@Peanutdenver]

Another collar bone sacrificed to the mx gods Josh, I gave mine 3 years ago. Speedy recovery to you dude.

[@chadelz]

The great Zero

[@Kawiboy]

You've been a racer 3/4 of ur life. You KNOW there's no need for embarrassment Josh. Glad your gonna b just fine 💪.. Keep being you Buddy 👊. Much Respect ✌️😉

[@bmecham9017]

Sure love your content! Love that you are willing to put yourself out there when you make mistakes. Also, the large majority of us watching this wouldn’t attempt that or would attempt it and end up a lot worse than you. Keep up the great content!

[@rickrossi4468]

Josh, I saw the crash on TV but never new you were hurt. Sorry bud try to keep your chin up. Rooting for you. Love your content at MXA

[@MANBEARPIG111]

Nothing to be embarrassed about. The leap is UUUGE. Don’t worry Michigan still loves you Josh!

[@Kawiboy]

100%👊😉

[@blubug768]

Its a magnificent leap!

[@SteveJolly-si8mt]

Hope you heal up soon Josh. People like you and Jody are the reason I have been buying mxa since 1973.

[@B-Rad412]

You're a beast Josh, nothing to be ashamed about speedy recovery bro get em next year🙏🔥

[@LarryLinton]

Heal up quick Josh 💪🏻 Personally i blame Chase ..

[@Joe-pb3lx]

Sorry for your crash.....prayers to you and a fast recovery

[@motomatt6752]

Man what a bummer. Keep your head up we all respect you very much and appreciate how you help us all. Heal up quickly buddy

[@guloggarry5380]

It’s nothing to be embarrassed about man! You took a risk most people wont. Get better soon Josh!

[@blackbeard308]

You had balls enough to Go for it that's a badge of honor bro those broken bones are stripes 💪

[@dalemartinez3382]

the flagger should always be able to see both sides of any jump where the rider cannot see the landing. Feld is responsible for the safety of the riders. if the flagger has to run 50' to make the yellow visible, that is too much time to be of any use. get it together guys!

[@donbrashsux]

Shocking really .. that’s how a tragedy unfolds

[@jd43tv56]

(((Irvin Feld, Israel Feld, Roy M. Hofheinz, Kenneth Feld)))

[@TheCarelessAquarius]

We all have and sooner than later we all will have a gnarly get off. But most of us can’t say that gnarly get off was on the infamous lorraco’s leap. No shame in that my guy.

[@williampawasarat6887]

That Chris Cole must be one hell of a nice guy picking you up at the hospital.

[@Jeff-nb9tw]

What are you embarrassed about?? Mossiman sending it!!!

[@scottdries1106]

Sorry to see you have to go through that this summer. I broke my left collarbone 6 times.🤣🇺🇸

[@scottphillips445]

Actually you are my #1 KZbin star. Whatever you say about a motocross bike I believe. You should do a you tube series on how much it fing sucks to be an injured athlete. The other side of ride

[@MarkFox]

Sorry you got hurt and happy it wasn't worse! I also heard AP hits in 2nd, again I'm sure they are using full custom transmissions.

[@eli9494]

Yeah Sexton told him he did it 2nd, but that's no normal bike doing that jump in 2nd lol

[@LeftThumbBreak]

Nothing more real in motocross than crashing. Heal up, glad you walked away.

[@isracing1]

Speedy recovery Josh! We already miss you! take care and all the best!

[@donaldfredrickson2131]

I almost always watch you Josh. Now I ALWAYS will.

[@CryptoJace]

Happy your safe brother! Not a dam thing to be embarrassed about! 99% of us have come up short at some point in our riding careers! Get well soon brother!

[@zachfarris7705]

The “red bud” coming out of the ER 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@abradshaw432]

This is real world moto. You took it like a true moto warrior. Glad you are oaky.

[@patrickobrien3241]

Ma names Josh mosiman and welcome to red bud! this was a scary one to watch but a great insight for us mere mortals... Successful people fail often josh, glad you walked out of there.

[@jasonstrohl1675]

Get well soon, Josh. Sucks it went down that way! I'm glad your marble mostly got found.

[@Pompomgrenade]

🇺🇸 AUTHENTIC 🏁

[@scottpeters8640]

Do not feel like you have any reason to be embarrassed. That Leap is huge and only about a quarter of the 450 guys jumped it on race day. You are an elite rider and was giving it hell !! Great respect for you !

[@timparker533]

It’s all Sexton’s fault!

[@Eddiep80]

@@timparker533 he set him up 😆

[@dontbeoffended486]

His Master Plan is still in effect... As a matter of fact getting more aggressive

[@nickymoe3023]

Warrior! Be proud Josh.

[@Randy_Cox]

Wide open it was not...and it showed. 😢 I can't jump a wheelbarrow so I got no room to say anything. Takes big nuggets to throw a bike off that big a jump. Big props to the 250 guys who sent it.

[@RideFishHunt]

Just broke mine Sunday, same side as yours. I go see a surgeon Thursday. Had to have my buddy take me to the hospital, cut our ride short. Only 4 laps in. I hope these heal up quick.

[@rassy7]

I'd have to think twice about hiking that sucker. No shame, buddy. My dad's a pilot, and like so many, he always told me any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. Get well soon.

[@douglayman1843]

Just glad ur ok Josh!

[@jeremyrobinson4064]

AH TOTAL BUMMER JOSH - GET HEALED UP SOON BUDDY ;LOVING ALL THE COVERAGE ,MXA IS THE BEST MUCH LOVE MAD PROF UK MASSIVE

[@GOTCHAPARK]

Dude just being able to have the chance to qualify for one of these races is a big deal. Hitting and clearing Larocco's leap is another deal all together man , hang in there and heal up quick and get back on your bike and do what you love to do !!

[@jasonpenney8658]

Praying for you to have a speedy recovery. Love your content so hang in there bud.

[@markdawson8946]

Josh get better. That sucks it happened to a great rider. That jump is huge but hey. It’s not for everybody. Hopefully in the future you can post a video of you clearing it. Keep up good spirits.

[@pauliewalnuts240]

People dont realize that you cant see the landing when your jumping laroccos leap. You just have to have faith your speed is right and send it. Josh you soaked up the initial landing pretty well, its unfortunate you got kicked over the bars. I basically broke my collar collar bone the same way, on a jump half that size. I feel your pain but theres no shame, your still a much better rider then most of us.

[@daneg]

go big or go to the hospital, I guess. you're a good sport Josh. I look forward to more when you're feeling better. cheers.

[@Steve-kp9wy]

Back in the early 1980s i.used to smash into the face of the upper part. I was on a 125 then 250,I never really thought about clearing it. It was quite different then this now. Heal up Josh man you were literally about 2 feet away. You do a great job for MXA buddy.

[@erikgale7161]

Don’t worry Josh I once cased a single we’ve all been there

[@jedielder7970]

Damn, that shoulder looks gnarly... I hope it heals up good. Hey, so many people have come up short on that jump... you are a great rider and I'm sure you can do it, if you ever want to give it another try. Thanks for the excellent and honest content. Hope to see you racing more nationals. PS: Good luck with the wife.

[@jpslaym0936]

Youve got balls dont be embarassed dude. Just means you push yourself hard and are a competitive guy. Heal up man

[@acrf45000]

Total respect. Heal up, keep up the good work. We need you out there .

[@TimMohr]

Fully sent! Braaaaaapppp

[@nilsjonsson9594]

It takes some balls to even try to jump it! You ride very very good and this is a risk all riders take. Hope you heal up soon :D

[@kylejohnson7464]

Hang in there , absolutely nothing to be embarrassed of . Heal up and gather all your “Marbles “ 👍

[@SUFROC]

Had the salt …just not enough pepper! ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽…you’re a beast!

[@The08450]

Get well man! Thanks for all the great content!!!

[@m5132]

So gnarly Josh!

[@marksvideochannel3592]

That sucks on the injury man. Heal up and come back. LOVE the videos at the Nationals, keep it up!!! - Best wishes from New Zealand.

[@mark_Hershey]

Glad you’re ok. Not to be comparing my deal to yours, but i am sitting here with 2 broken ribs and a busted spleen, and no telling how long i was out, cause i just cant keep my 2023 300xc from randomly bogging and it wrecked me on a small double. 25 years with ktm, i am about for the first time headed for MXA’s blessed bike, yz450(maybe yaz250 2t). I am biting at the bit to get back on a bike but at 2 weeks post injury i may take one more week….lol i can only imagine what you will experience in the weeks to come as you heal. I really enjoy your vids bro.. stay on yamaha.

[@fast22fast]

Josh, you are a stud! You had the nads to try it. Next time!

[@aivorebane3050]

Speedy recovery Josh!

[@yuriabmxr]

Hey Josh, it could've been a lot worse. You're doing a great job and you'll be back in the saddle soon!

[@Speedz41]

Dawg embarrassed??? You sent that shit, welcome to the world of moto.

[@firemanrh]

Nothing to be embarrassed about Josh!!! See you at GH for Sat MX when you are all healed up. Until then, heal up.

[@sprackryan]

Glad you tried to send it man hope you bounce back better than ever

[@44sammy4]

Well done josh takes balls to do what your doing awesome video

[@recordfishhunter9234]

Anybody who jumps larocco's leap deserves a trophy that's a badass jump hang in there bro !

[@matthewlab3834]

We were next to you (and two other MXA fellas) at the baggage carrousels at Midway on Tuesday, July 2 - we were on the same flight from San Daygo. Glad your gear made it - some of ours ended up in NY... I hope you heal up soon!

[@RoxannaMiller-x9o]

Chicks dig scars❣️

[@scooterinvegas1]

The landing of Larocco’s Leap is now know as the Mosiman Mash. :-) Hope you heal up real fast and feel better soon.

[@peaceprayer595]

Jeremy is such a stand up guy and I honestly can't say enough good things about MX Tech. I'm hoping to get some feedback. Don't get me wrong. That's a monster drop, but did anybody else think that shock didn't work as good as expected?

[@mikeandtherece]

Heal up quick bro! Your all in! ;)

[@scottfoster3548]

NO-worries Josh everyone was worried about you when we saw some clips but no update. As for the concussion utilize hyperbolic oxygen chambers with some extra oxygen the extra pure oxygen will help with any intercranial injury. Hang in there buddy we love YA.

[@GetAGripMx]

I wish you a speedy recovery Josh!

[@95jersey]

race offroad, way more fun and no big jumps to case. I'll take the woods over MX any day. However I do love watching MX on TV

[@studay1007]

Hang tough Josh! You sent it!!!!

[@jro341]

Bummer. I first saw it when Matt Burkeen got the aftermath of the case. Get well soon.

[@surferjohnny123]

Damn Josh. I hope you have a speedy recovery. That sucks. You don’t need to jump LaRoccos Leap to prove you’re cool. 🤙✌️

[@stufrowin]

I'm lying in bed watching, icing my shoulder after I broke my collarbone 2 weeks ago. I feel your pain man. Hope you get surgery quick if you need it! Yours looks worse than mine did on the X-ray.

[@chrismontigny6697]

Thanks for the great video and speedy recovery to you. Collar bones heal but pay attention to the concussions man, they are more serious than many believe or know. Be well!

[@ELECTRICMOTOCROSSMACHINE]

Dang Josh, Godspeed healing up. The Leap claims another good rider.

[@kennethdevore400]

You’ll be back stronger and smarter!

[@LPSrcbiker]

Get well Josh! Stuff happens bro....

Hoope you feel better soon Josh! Thanks for all the content you create!

At least you got it on tape will be a great story one day

[@SketchyXC]

Bummer man! Maybe you can get Matty B to fill in on the racing side for you?...lol heal up quick Josh 🤘

[@daneg]

he was gapping (gaping!) riders during the proam race by tripling it on a 450. 😃

[@Superburd]

Dude collarbone plates are amazing. You'll be riding in 2-3 weeks!

[@brendanmingo3486]

I broke my wrist in January tipping over trying to climb out of a wash. I rode my bike for the first time last weekend and i was still brutal with every bump. Hope you feel better soon

[@amoore2165]

When Sexton said 2nd gear I’m like “What?!” Not a chance my 450 would make it over that in 2nd. If his can make it over that in second that would be way easier with being able to fully rev it out…lot easier to get out of a corner in 2nd than 3rd. I would assume most normal 450’s use third? Sorry for the injury.

[@daneg]

AP said 2nd on Pulp this week. there was a big debate that ending with Nicoletti going from staunch 3rd gear to "actually, I think I was in 2nd." 😅 edit: it's possible the true pros and factory guys especially run different gearing.

[@mxtv1258]

I broke my left hip in 1993 trying to do LaRocco’s leap. I was on a 1988 Honda CR125R.

[@andrewmarshall360]

At least you went for it , if I saw that thing I would do a u-turn . Hope you’re better soon !

[@the_grim_griefer]

Get well soon! Love your content!

[@mikeinhoodriver]

Dang Josh, heal up. You’re still the man! And you got hardware to prove it. 😂

record breaking attendance this year, but NOTHING compares to RedBud heal quickly Josh..
