Doug Henry

[@dc_5sauce]

So i went to Steel City in 93. Reynard won as a rookie that year, but Doug and Emig fought it out for the championship. I talked to Doug, who was my absolute idol about getting a jersey. He said hey, i will give you one if you drive my wife to the gate in my rental car. I said of course, i was like 17 years old. He says i have to catch a flight right away, so if you can get her to the gate you can have my jersey. I did, and he always treated me like a true friend, i still have the jersey. Doug Henry is a legend no doubt. This pocast was super long, but so worth hearing. You guys are great! Thanks.

[@carmelotansengco4605]

One of my favorite supercross races ever is the 1997 Seattle SX. To me, that was a very exciting race. Lusk led early but cross-rutted. Larry Ward took over and Henry came from behind and passed him. Later on Jeremy charged into second place. That was an awesome race.

[@johnvalko8046]

OMG Grant you totally nailed calli on the straws. That was awesome !!!!! I grew up at Steel City in Delmont Pa. I live in simi Valley,ca. and ya,cali sucks for the over regulation.

[@carmelotansengco4605]

McGrath, Emig and Henry were the three guys for me during the mid to late 90's. I remember seeing Henry on the DGY Yamaha in '92. He almost won Seattle I think until he went to far out in a right hand sweeper and his bike sucked up a lot of banners. Swink ended up winning that race.

[@JokersWild70]

I love Doug. He was a great rider, always positive, and seems like a nice guy, but I'm not surprised that he's partially paralyzed. He's cut from the same mold as Magoo Chandler, Guy Cooper and Travis Pastrana. He was always on the edge, and could be dangerous to be close to on the track. I saw that works YZ400F in action at Glen Helen in '97, and really was a thing of beauty to see up close. I'd never seen a full works bike before. I wish him the best!

[@fincity1964]

I first saw Doug Henry many years ago on a Honda CR125 at Mt Morris. To me, he is one of the Icons in mx, sx , supermoto history. Much respect for this guy. I loved seeing him clinch at Steel City.

Doug Henry is my hero. I have found determination and humility to be beyond inspiring. There are riders thst have won more however they are just fast riders. There none that come close to having the positive qualities of this man

[@donhoward8553]

Thanks ping ang GL.another great show.

[@stevepadilla9729]

Great Interview of Doug Henry. He stands taller then most of us in Life. He makes me want to realize what I have and enjoy each day, as if I may not have what I have tomorrow. But never give up and look forward instead of, What if I would have.

[@carmelotansengco4605]

One of my favorite riders of the 90's. A great role model for kids.

[@depweg1092]

Doug is more of a hero to me now than back in 98. Such a rad dude and his never give up attitude is so inspiring. Thanks again for another great gest!

[@varieze117pj7]

I was a MX racer, lost an arm and fucked up my neck in a off track incident in 1977. I started riding again a few years ago and I'm having a blast. I resurrected a 1990 Suzuki DR 250 and use it to run the gravel roads and trails of North Central Montana. I'm a Doug Henry fan. Pre Internet and reading magazines in study hall we would read about the wreck but not the wheel chair results. I'm happy to see life went on for others as it did for me. Good job Whiskey Throttle. A sad toast of respect for Danny Chandler and my old buddy Rocky. WFO Boys.

[@dirtydave2691]

Met him at a Supermoto race in 2006. He was so nice. Plus he won that night. I still have my "Doug Henry whats stopping you" blue wrist band.

[@patera1262]

I think Doug would be great in the booth at the races. He's genuine, personable and talks well. Sign him up.

[@carmelotansengco4605]

I remember Doug won L.A. 2 and Seattle and I was really excited. I thought Yamaha was going to win the SX title. I've always been a Yamaha boy and I've always liked Doug. Daytona was a real downer for me. I was really happy when he won Las Vegas.

[@recordfishhunter9234]

So great to see Doug Henry again what a great rider he was always remember when he over jumped in the outdoors I seen it live it was crazy !

[@daves996]

Great show as usual. DH you are legendary and a positive role model. Ping and GL. Please get Guy Cooper on the show.

[@johnchafin3817]

Doug Henry has always been one of my hero's. Love to see him on the show. Get Jeremy up there.

[@jamesrobert7155]

I second that motion sir, on both of your statements. Remember Doug was one of he first guys to race the yz400. He still rides, DH, a specialized dirtbike, it's worth digging up on KZbin!

[@adamkaschalk1882]

Doug is one my moto heroes growing up in Ohio. I even rocked his replica helmet. I loved hearing how he dealt with all that life through at him. Took it on the chin like a man. It's good too see he is still doing well. Thanks for being totally awesome!

[@brucekendall52]

A real good human being,respect.Thanks.

[@carmelotansengco4605]

Watch the first heat race of the '98 Seattle Supercross. Pay attention to how Henry got the lead. To me, that was the perfect block pass. David Bailey: "BRILLIANT MOVE."

[@bighaasfly]

The only autograph I ever collected for myself was Doug Henry’s. Such a champ. An inspiration to be an overcomer.

[@57moto59]

Doug has always been a hero and a legend!! I loved watching this. Thanks!!

[@curtiseakman9210]

Good show!! Personal opinion ppl are gettin upset u guys are talking also..no worries its more exciting listening to the conversation of u 3 interacting and talking with each other than u guys reading questions off cue cards and just listening to one guy talk..the conversation opens up more when ever one talks and share, hope u keep the show goin I like Langston and enjoy listening on the motocross races...

Man riding a Banshee on a supercross track to get ready for Snowcross. DH was a beast!!!

[@cadecrippen254]

The man the myth the Legend!

[@carmelotansengco4605]

I remember feeling genuinely happy when I read about Doug winning rounds 2 and 4 of the '97 Supercross series and I remember feeling crushed when I read about him injuring his hand after an incident with Button. He finished 10th at Daytona that year.

[@davidjay433racing]

GL don’t sell ya self short. People waited in lines to get a glimpse of you as well. Doug rocks.

[@pbau7769]

Doug Henry is like the Steve Irwin of Motocross.I remember first knowing anything of Doug Henry at the Millville national. Immediately I noticed he definitely stood apart from everyone the way he rode with "gusto". He was on the gas later and then earlier than everyone and doing stuff first you could see the top guys looked nervous doing all day. Like he was born without a fear gene.

[@scottmorgan6099]

Great episode with Doug!....👍

[@freebird1292]

Great show again guys, just awesome from a fan of all you rippers!

[@maverick2242]

I’m just at the part of the jump at Buds and you guys talking about dreams, dam I had those too and still do years later, wtf is that about.. I was also never afraid to jump or go big, broke my wrists, leg, back, neck ribs in many crashes over the years, before my 30s no jump ever scared me, I used to do no feet no hands cross ups, whips before they were called that etc, it’s not a fear thing I think, I always thought it was just me that had those dreams, glad I am not alone and first time ever heard another rider talk about it. Respect to Doug Henry on that, the outcome may not have been what he wanted but this always cemented you him to me as a legend, you know everyone of the top guys has that one thing they did you’ll never ever forget, this was Doug’s to me, interesting story he tells. awesome guys.

I have Mike Craig's pants from that 95 Dallas race. Clogged the hotel shower drain cleaning them before I flew home 🤣

Funny timing you just liked that comment.....was packing some boxes for a move and just had those exact pants in my hands 20 mins ago. Good times:)

[@carmelotansengco4605]

The '98 Las Vegas Supercross was supposed to be great. I remember Doug and Jeremy flying in the air side by side and looking at each other. That was very exciting. It was just unfortunate that they ran into Larocco. I think Mike was having trouble with some backmarkers when they ran into him.

The new treatment of early onset treatment is critical, now patients are started with Cryotherapy both externally and internally with cooled IV fluids that helps cool the body down, part of that process also involves the use of steroids which also help reduce the inflammation process. As you mentioned in many cases of spinal cord trauma the inflammation or swelling of the spinal cord and surrounding tissue results in permanent neurological loses. PS you guys met My Brother Spencer at MX de nations @ Red Bud, and you have a very interesting story of what happened The Red Bud on location of the Whiskey Throttle Show, after the show of exploring Lot B, and trying to work and Ride the next day.

I think this is the second time i have watched/listened to Doug's story. One of my all time favorite riders and a complete legened. Definitely the positive. Shame there is/was a massive negative. I really feel Grant is a massive downer on this interview. Doug's asked a question and Grant answers for him or tells something about his life. So bad. Then hearing Doug explaining about the conditions at a track one event and Grant starts adding his bit with specifics of these conditions and then he ststes, "I wasnt even there". Then the call at the TLD break by Grant about "arr, i need to stretch my back". Fark GL, shocking call. Si, Christchurch, NZ.
