HOW DID I CRASH AND BROKE MY FOOT AND VERTEBRA? - Misano race crash analysis

[@Dr.Twisty]

Man I love you. What an honest analysis of the crash-no ego, just honesty. And thanks for sharing the information on your injuries. You are a very special person. I wish the very best for you. BTW, the medical device that kept your foot in traction is an external fixator. It sounds like you got 1st class care. I’m a doctor in the US and I’m very impressed! Please take care Naska.

[@jonathanhager3930]

You could do product reviews "motorcycle stuff" until you get back on the bike.

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Jonathan Hager Nice idea.

[@aaronkerr7018]

Unlucky. It's bound to happen in motorsports. Get better soon hope you get better

[@jicklesjingles8134]

The moment he tried to stand up though... gives me goose bumps!

[@hongthainguyen5334]

The pause right before the high side, that was what made me sweat, and the moment it happened OUCH

[@itschipsbruh]

It's true what people say, every sport has it's own injuries.

[@jhonnybob9384]

Wise words👏

[@steveman1982]

Hurt my hand with chess.

[@mbal4052]

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Scrabble has been tough. I marked my hand with the pen when writing down the score.

[@SkyBooFast]

hurt my hand while playing fortnite.

[@AndrewBoundy]

What an amazing guy. No blame - he owns the issue. He does not deflect or excuse. He analyzes to teach us and improve for next time. Finally, he acknowledges the medical staff and thanks them. It's not often I am impressed with a guy, like I am here.

[@gnarshread]

Im happy to hear your health care is free. The last time I crashed a bike I broke my arm and it financially crippled me for over a year. I am extremely impressed at how you can analyze the entire process and learn from it.

[@paryudisaditya8845]

That's sad to hear, that a common injury could financially crippled somebody.

[@mainscreen4939]

I the us there 500k a year bankrupting for normal medical bills

[@mr.squidward9936]

"Free" medical care is a human right. The US spends billions of tax dollars on military equipment to "defend" it's citizens, when they could be better spent on medical care to actually save their lives.

[@Ranveer_Singh_sangha03]

Damn, that's hurtful to watch again and again Ankle ouch

[@CaseyAlbert844]

Best wishes and SPEEDY recovery Alberto! Maybe this will make you heal faster. I did my first Track Day at 62 years old. I was a MotoCrosser many many moons prior. I love it! On day two, with a little precipitation, too much enthusiasm and not enough experience, I did a massive HIGH SIDE! I broke my clavicle into 7 pieces, broke ribs two through eight front and back, broke my pelvis but a nice break, and had a collapsed lung. I got back on the horse nearly one year later, and I LOVE it more! Only wish I had started earlier, and wish I had learned to walk before I tried to run! Love your channel!

[@M4Hamm]

Thanks for all the effort on the English version. I want to wish you a speedy recovery from your injuries and a quick return to racing! You should be very proud of the Italian healthcare system. We Canadians think we have the best healthcare system in the world - but it's obvious that Italy has a really amazing medical infrastructure.

[@RUNDMC1]

I feel a little bit better about being a massive fanny with the throttle coming out of corners after watching this. Best of luck with your recovery buddy, this is a bad one, but you’ve got the right mindset to get through it. Thanks for taking the time to talk about it too - love your insights.

[@JoJo-wb5ke]

You're a FIGHTER Naska💪We know that your crash was horrifying & heart-breaking for you😐But pretty sure you gonna be fine & next year will be on Podium🌟Alwayz Love & Support brother💟

[@gsmecanica]

I am sorry about your accident mate. And I admire your analysis with telemetry, I think you can show us more of that type of content now that you can't ride. I am sure that it will help you and teach us a lot.

[@bornburn8271]

Hey Naska, Hopefully the tiramisu helped to numb your pain!😉 Best wishes for your recovery from Germany. Get well soon 👍

[@elmerrsv4]

My god man... unlucky is the right word in this case.. I hope you’re able to keep yourself together and stay positive! Maybe it would be nice (for as far it is physically possible) to be at the races of your class as a ‘coach’. Help the rider to understand everything and make him better. I think with content like that you can learn a lot of things to the viewers of this channel! I wish you all the best man.. the only way is up from here!

[@JeremyUSA]

Thank you so, so, so much for explaining the WHY it happened, so clearly too. It helped me TREMENDOUSLY in understanding how quickly you can lose you grip points. I feel horrible for your injuries brother but you are so young, you'll be back and this will be a distant memory.

[@andyallison460]

Glad you are alive and starting recovery. Very glad you are giving updates about your healing process. Please continue to work hard for a speedy and full recovery. God speed!

[@ShomariDeluccio]

Thank you for sharing your crash analysis to help us learn from your experience. It's unfortunate that this happened to you and we're all hoping for a fast, easy, and complete recovery for you.

[@henniecronje2868]

Your honesty and humble spirit is too beautiful. I could definitely use a friend like you. I hope and pray that you will be better soon and back on the bike. I'd think twice about racing again if I was you. I'm 63 and enjoy my superbike. I've adjusted to: "I don't have to be fast, because my bike is". That doesn't mean that I'm crawling. I just don't allow the adrenaline to rule.

[@DLITINTHEHOUSE]

Your ability to articulate the physics of the bike is amazing. Here’s to a quick recovery!

[@jubranaaish]

Doctor Naska's lecture is very interesting

[@franklinwilkerson2061]

I feel for you bro. I've had 5 wrecks on the street breaking my pelvis, scafoid, clavicle, scapula and tib/fib. 100% recovery thanks to good doctors and most importantly, FOLLOWING DOCTOR'S ORDERS TO THE T!!! Can't wait to see you back on 2 wheels!

[@Dana-koc]

I got this video in recommended and I'm glad I watched it. Analyzing a mistake and accepting it is the only way to get better. Breaking your leg and vertebrae was really bad luck. I hope your recovery will be fast and without any long term health issues. But hey, let's find something positive about this, not many people can put a leg behind their head. Achievement unlocked 😃

[@xenstanhope6014]

This is an excellent analysis. I applaud your ability to go back and understand what happened. And your presentation of the telemetry is much appreciated. It's actually the best explanation of telemetry and "what happened" that I've ever seen. Well done. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and please keep doing your motorcycle racing videos.

[@MarcelBest]

I wish you a speedy recovery and that the pain will not be too bad. You've been through much already, but I'm sure you will get through the rest too. And I can't wait to see you riding again. You are an inspiration to me and others. Keep it up!

[@m.b.5345]

I had some break watching your channel and was not aware of the accident. Get well soon Alberto. Keeping fingers crossed 👍 And very good analysis of all the situation and indeed - very good medical support. Hats off 👍

[@xXpnylecombustionXx]

Man I hope you get better soon. I love the way you give insight to those who don't have an opportunity to experience bike racing themselves. Thank you

[@NickMasseyRideon]

5:41 wow, a perfect storm of factors all coming together at once. Pretty cool having all these tools to analyze this.

[@cesararevalo2544]

I cried when I saw you crash and fall and was amazed at the degree of situational awareness and the attitude that you immediately acquired when you saw yourself down in the track--- I couldn't see the pictures of your injured foot ... I hope the best and the fast recovery for you ... be strong and be happy with the simplest things you do surrounded by your loved ones ... you are above all a very lucky racer ... CORAGGIO CARO ALBERTO... TU SEI BRAVO

[@furyian702]

Wishing you a good recovery mate!! great video btw! Made me laugh a bit sometimes (with the hospital explanation)!

[@b3rg3r35]

Gute Besserung

[@El_turco82]

I can't believe how unlucky you are, I'm really, really, really sorry for you. What is most admirable is how positive you are. I really have to say I admire you. also how you have improved with your motorcycle, so if someone does not give you props, they are just envious. So it's a shame that nothing more of you will come from the race track in the near future, but the most important thing is that you get 100% healthy again. I wish you all the best with all my heart and that you will be fully fit again next year.

[@bazknight5347]

For sure. I think the reason everyone ( myself included) loves your videos is you are so honest, helpful and have no ego. Your films are great. So glad you make the time to make them. Great work Alberto. Thank you.

[@dv3282]

Keep it up man. You are a big inspiration for me and brought me to Moto racing. I really hate it to see you suffering like this. Wish you nothing but the best. Greetings from Germany

[@PR4LFE]

Thanks for taking time to make this video and relive the accident so soon after it happened to share with us the experience; but, glad to see you are in a good positive state. Wish you well during your recovery.

[@indexoverflow]

Had my first proper bike crash 5 months ago, so I really know what you're going through (including the part about the pain killers). It sucks! But I'm finally getting better and you will too! Thanks for sharing, wish you a speedy recovery.

[@joemaffei3760]

Sorry to hear bro! Hope you have a good recovery! I’m sure you are going to miss riding but you will be back on the track soon. Just listen to your great doctors! Good luck! I’m currently healing from 2 broken wrists/hands, and a tibial plateau fracture(top of leg bone, right below the knee, so can’t move or put weight on the whole leg or foot) from a motorcycle accident. Doctors are amazed I’m alive. Can’t even start to try to walk for 8weeks. I feel your pain. But I can’t wait to get back on my bikes again!! Ride safe! Maybe do some product reviews and/or racing breakdown videos while you’re recovering, if you feel up to it. Get well soon brother!

[@jaimeriveras]

Your attitude and cool head are an inspiration. Good luck with your recovery; I’m sure you’ll be fine for next season. In the meantime, why not put out videos about racing motorcycles in general? You’re great at explaining things clearly.

[@alexduey7868]

Your level of understanding and willingness to grow is so rare to find in anyone. you'll be just fine man one way or another, thank you for the awesome content keep it coming!

[@jeffgreen983]

I've been a m/c fanatic riding and have raced for 40 years. You are producing some of the best media content I have ever had the pleasure of reading/watching. I think you a have a big future ahead of you which ever direction you decide to pursue it in the motorcycling world

[@MazePlaysGames]

Naska at 10:13 - its sound like a horror movie and I can imagine how it was. 1 sec later naska spoke about the situation like nothing happend - that makes me smile 😊 Not about the situation just how positive you are thinking :)

[@Nickles916]

I clicked on this random video and watched it all. You have a certain magnetism that kept me watching. I'm happy I did. I'm an opiate addict & you simply saying "I can't imagine what it would be like to be on it for years" gave some currently needed perspective. I hope you heal fast and return to the track soon, my friend. Cheers.

[@Br0k3nS41nt]

This is actually so helpful to understand what can go wrong and why. Too quick on the throttle, before the rear wheel has enough weight for proper traction, then an over correction and that is what caused the high side. Thanks for uploading this.

[@florent4668]

I also broke astragal bone 7 months ago, not by racing, just by running with orthopedic sole. Not a big fracture, a very small one, but no one know if i will one day be able to run again normally. Fortunately, i can race without too much pain and i thank luck for it. Huge support man, hope you recover well and let this misadventure behind you ! V

[@rebeccajordan3789]

As a physical therapist, I have worked with many people following injuries such as these. You are indeed very fortunate not to have damaged your spinal cord. That is why those first responders kept you from moving around! An unstable fracture of the spine can easily shift and damage that precious bundle of nerves that allows your brain to communicate with the rest of your body. I loved hearing about the experience from the perspective of the person living it, rather than from the perspective of the health care providers. Those external fixators are crazy aren't they? Seems like it worked for you. As your doctors have probably already told you, your risk of developing arthritis in that ankle is higher now. The joy of racing makes the risk of injury and long term consequences worthwhile huh? Best of luck to you! Thanks for sharing.

[@JjMotoScoot]

Get well soon Naska! I had the same structure on my left foot before. It took me 9 months before I got back to riding motorcycles again. Your recovery is fast, medical technology is so advanced in your country.

[@kcg7670]

I feel with you. Last year I had a broken ankle too. 5 months of no motorbikes and fun. I wish you all the best. Get well soon.

[@PetroHead]

Naska! I hope you feel better... I am a YTuber as well and the struggle to always keep coming up with content is real. During this moment, please take care of yourself. Your fans will be here and will watch when you return. Don't worry so much. We all love you! 🤘

[@nyleen]

The most important thing is that the Demolition Company still has its key member. I'm happy you're still alive.

[@wirenut3020]

I’m so sorry this happened to you, but your attitude is awesome. Hang in there and keep up the great content of your video’s. Get well soon brother.

[@AlunChurcher]

Wishing you a speedy recovery Naska. All sports have their own specific injuries. But I think yours is a rare one.

[@PremierNZ-qb5zd]

I know exactly how feel and can sympathise having suffered a badly broken femur and pelvis from a skiing accident myself. You’re right about the addiction it’s tough to break but you just have to be strong. Keep positive and as they say, get back on the horse or, bike in this case.

[@drumsxo]

I'm a relatively new subscriber of yours, and I just wanted to say that I'm interested to see what kind of content you bring to us while you're healing up! I enjoyed your 3-part series about 25 things to help you on the track, and your video about what happens when you lean your bike. I'm sorry to hear about your injuries, man. I hope you heal nicely.

[@lrowlands53]

If you can get your head around it, starting a bike race is the most dangerous part of the whole event - chaos; everyone in the corner, tyres cold, brakes cold, head not in the flow yet, etc., so being able to be smooth and 'slow' (not rushing) until things spread out is a way to survive and to win races. In other words, you know you go fastest when your head is going slow, when you flow through corners - the opposite of that adrenalin filled rushing at the start. Very difficult to do but essential. All the best Alberto.

[@ferarroyo8541]

How much we love our sport!!! We all know that bad injuries can happen but even after them, we are waiting for a chance to ride our bikes on the track again. I wish you a speedy recovery Naska 💪🇨🇷

[@yanndubus5317]

Courage Alberto, courage... I had a crash also 3 weeks ago, and I know what you are living... Thanks for keeping positive and joyful and transmit it in your videos. It helps me a lot, , because sometimes it's hard to stay positive and looking good to the future in the bad times. Thanks again for your video and example. Keep going man, I'm with U

[@yat_zack]

I broke that very same bone in the ankle, 3 years ago..1 screw in, and it still hurts up till now..limited mobility, told that it's permanent, and that sucks, real bad...I feel you.....speedy recovery!

[@Gavri1945]

I'm glad nothing more serious happened. Take your time to recover and come back stronger next year. All the best!

[@ELEDUCADITO1]

Man, sorry for all your pain and thank you to keep it very real to all of us that also nobody shares ever with the public

[@BRZO.RACING]

Stay strong bro 💪🏻 I know how hard it is and the painful wait of recovering, I’ve had two knee reconstructions STAY POSITIVE. Well done for all the staff and doctors at the track amazing response and care. Can’t wait to see more track videos and product reviews

[@michaelchang5544]

I so glad you are just excited about a win, a lose, a crash, and even an injury...your love for the sport and the challenge is great! I hope you get well soon and get back on the bike. Looks like you got it worse then the bike....hopefully you go over the bike and the damage. Thanks for sharing your story!

[@taouinche]

It is very generous of you to share all this with us. I hope that you will recover quickly and that you will be able to enjoy your passion again. Thank you for your videos.

[@nelsoni7]

Thanks for the update! Great content as always! Don't worry too much about your ankle mobility at the moment! Keep up with your exercises and as the swelling around the ankle and foot reduces you will find that increased mobility will return naturally (the swelling is the body protecting the injury) and your progress will be better than you expect! Moto GP has a lot of crashes to keep you busy on your channel! Can you go over some of them? especially Maverick Vinales amazing jump off the bike when his brakes failed at over 200km and he had no big injuries!

[@migueloliveira8414]

I also had a racing motorcycle accident and broke my astrágalo. luckily I was operated on the very day, it took me almost 1 year to recover, the physiotherapy is quite hard but it helped a lot in the recovery of the mobility of the foot. nowadays I can do everything like the old days but I don’t have total mobility in the broken foot, luckily the limitation is small and doesn’t limite anything when driving motorcycles. I wish you a speedy and good recovery

[@balticklipper8825]

Man you're a real hero! Cant wait to see you back on track! Salud to you! And thank you for crash analysis, huge respect!!! With love from Sankt-Petsburg,Russia.

[@steveconcanen7957]

Only bikers who have had accidents really know what your going through, keep strong you will come through this you are a top bloke, look forward to seeing you on the podium again I will raise my glass to you when you do

[@MunsKi]

Very inspiring... im just suffering from arthritis and i felt like it is the end of the world already..... but compared to u, your spirit is strong... inspiring

[@nuddelaug]

Hi Naska, I love how you analyze the stuff that happens :) Do not worry to much about the injury you had, I broke my Hip in Spain/Jerez, wasn't able to move more then 3 milimeters in total and coming home was a nightmare ... I am from Austria. Took 3 months so that no one one the track did realize I had an accident any more 127 days until I was sitting on a bike again ... keep your motiviation and as the doctors say, move everything even if it hurts ;) all the best and hope to see some more videos soon !

[@1917jmb]

Wow, this is some production you have put together! It was fascinating to see the telemetry right next to the video. What I wouldn't have given to have that when I raced. Of course, that 40 years ago. :) Best of luck on your healing and I look forward to your videos!

[@one-of-us9939]

The best episode yet with honesty. This happens all the time with motorbike racing, or riding in general. Thanks for showing aspects of reality while healing. I feel it is good to watch honesty, because it is where I live.♥️

[@jakeylng]

Feeling solidarity with you. Broke my fibula after a highside at my first trackday a couple months back. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

[@claxmoto5299]

I love that you always try to break down the science of everything that goes wrong! Get better and come back strong!

[@kingbananana]

I’m hospitalised with fractured left metatarsal bones(the part of the like the palm of your hand) after a crash and found your channel. Best find ever, I love the way you analyse and describe your situations they’re easy to understand and entertaining to watch. It doesn’t feel like 15minutes video. Your videos will keep me company for my healing duration 😂

[@Blahshog]

Really sorry that you had such a bad experience, it must be so frustrating to see your fellow riders racing whilst you are in recovery. You're a young man and will soon be back doing what you love to do, big respect for your honesty in admitting it was your error which caused the crash. Get well very soon.

[@206fireblade5]

Keep your spirits up Naska. Hoping your recovery goes smoothly and you are back training early in 2021. Sending well wishes from Seattle, WA USA

[@dfw_motorrad1329]

When I shattered my hip last season, they gave me fentanyl in the ambulance. Going by your description, I think that's what you got too. Man that was good. After my surgery, luckily I didn't need any additional painkillers.

[@gl3906]

big respect for you being so brave and honest. wish you a good recovery and all the best for your future!!

[@MonoMoto]

I always love how you analyze crashes ! I'm a normal trackday rider and these lessons are super useful ! Riding now 5 years track and thanks to you and other channels I have never crashed on Track. Many thanks for sharing all this and I hope you get better soon. Greetings from the home of the CorkScrew - California.

[@MoonBernie]

Alberto I hope you recover fast. And I wish you all the luck. I share all your clips as much as I can because there is so much crucial information on them. You go so deep into the matter. And I love It. Even with the bad luck you had we can learn allot. Thank you Alberto And keep up the good work.

[@keithburt7874]

Great report , I hit my knee lowside on my V Stromo going to see the Shroud of Turin at the museum in Alamogordo, New Mexico,,,the Curator was on the team in '78 that took tons of equipment and tested the soil&pollen samples from the tablecloth , Jesu hit his knee and chin and heel so hard that day like we did in our crashes !!!!

[@daniellander1964]

I've been following all your videos. As bad as crashing sucks, it is cool to figure out what went wrong. When you crash without all the video and data, you still never try to figure out what went wrong. You try and break down every little thing. My last crash broke my right femur, and if you think that is painful, while I was in a local hospital I had to call home to my wife !

[@archanmishra]

Be strong naska. even though you smile the pain would be very bad. Be positive and be strong.

[@nelsong8986]

You will be back brother!!! For the time being, maybe you can make some videos analyzing the telemetry of some of your races and test!!!

[@rojiark]

Keep up the hard work you’re doing while on recovery! You will be back stronger and better than ever!! Thanks for sharing this, from Costa Rica we send you the best wishes! Regards

Keep the videos coming and all the best for a speedy recovery. I'm recovering from spinal fusion plus a tibial plateau fracture, so I feel your pain.

[@ryanwolf6179]

I'm glad you came out alive. Good to hear healthcare is amazing in Italy so you have less to worry about and can focus on healing! I have taken a lot of your tips in your videos and applied them to myself at the track and have helped me become more confident in my riding and quicker. Can't wait to see you back out there blasting around the tracks! Get well soon!

It is good to hear that you are doing well Alberto.

I’ve had 2 low sides in the past 4 months, second one resulting in broken talus (astragalus) and fibula. Stay strong ! Wishing you a speedy recovery 🙏 In America we call that apparatus on your foot/leg a traction pin/pins. Had it for my femur one upon a time.
