HOW I RECOVERED FROM A BROKEN/DISLOCATED HIP

[@moto6153]

Deano I’ve always been a huge fan of you. I’ll never forget when you were on 250’s and I went to southwick and after practice I was in the pits and I stopped to look at the pro circuit rig. You were talking with your dad and you stopped your conversation with him to come up to me and give me an autograph and chat with me. That memory still sticks with me today 7 years later. Good luck Dean, I hope to see you back racing soon!

[@jacobmccoy7939]

Dude you’ve been through a lot . But remember you are ONE OF THE BEST in the world and a lot of people would give one minute to live the life you are! Man keep it up love watching you ride ! Big fan

[@ryanmichaud2363]

Keep your head up deano! Keep training you got this! When this blows over you’ll come out better then ever!!

[@shaneharris1104]

Sending you best wishes from Oz,love your videos you seem to be very well grounded and a great guy !

[@JeffDinkin]

Glad you put this video up. Looking forward to the Anxiety video. You have great insights to share and you come from a place of knowledge because of all you've suffered, and then bounced back from. One of the toughest people in the world! ROCK ON!

[@JJ1st506th]

You're a true role model man. It's about how far a man is willing to go, that makes him who he is. Never say die

[@EverydayBroC10]

Dean, this is why you're a fan favorite. Raw, honest emotion. You're human. It's inspiring and you've done more good for others than you could possibly imagine.

[@leonardwashington710]

Gnarly injury, couldn't believe you made it back before the season started. Glad I got to see you in Atl. Cheers!

[@jaimepalacios788]

Some day you wil be again on the box Deano. Keep moving forward You are awesome. My daugther loves your style and your epic line from another video: "mom coffee breakfast let's go" :) go go go Deano!

[@jaredbottger3564]

Deano I don't think many people understand just how gnarly you are for coming back from a broken and dislocated hip as short of an amount of time you did it in. That's the gnarliest thing I've ever seen. The fact that you were back for A1 should have been a huge story on NBCSN, they definitely missed out on the best story of the offseason there. Anyway, chin up, train hard, can't wait to see you kicking butt whenever y'all get back racing! Much love from Ohio

[@Tony2x67]

Nothing but respect and best wishes for you kid. Seems like every step of your career you've shown your heart. Not only coming back from injury time after time, but going the privateer route for a while too! And let's not forget Sarah for staying by you through all this. You guys are Rockstars

[@03_austindrake88]

Dean is such a cool guy. He'll be kicking ass as soon as Supercross returns. He's definitely my favorite Supercross pro.

[@andibk100]

Just watching your video on recovery. I am a hyperbaric chamber operator/tender Instructor for ANDI. Glad to see the treatments helped. Chambers are getting very popular for healing wounds. I will be rooting for you when the Nationals start.

[@vancegilday9073]

Keep charging on mate. My son and I really appreciate what you do . My son has anxiety issues too and he loves your vids. You are a great ambassador of the sport and make alot of people want to join. We will keep following you from Australia all the way. Good luck mate.

[@Punjeet]

I had a very similar injury in 2012 and after that I decided to never ride competitively again. Since then I am just an average weekend warrior. Big respect to Dean for such an intense and swift recovery to get to the top again...

[@Kxe4Ever]

You are a very tough guy, both physically and mentally! Bad times are the moments when we can prove what we are, you are a warrior!

[@jimwilkey7294]

Deano is one of our family’s SX/MX favorites. Who doesn’t love this kid. Go get em 👍

[@kurtfosberg4457]

Thanks for being Dean Wilson and adding to the fabric of the sport

[@noahstaines2572]

i have a lot respect for you Deano, when i used to be hurt a lot and wanted to quit the sport i always looked at how you kept coming back after all your injuries and set backs, and you've really inspired me and given me the drive to strive to be the best human i can, and continue to pursue the sport to the highest level, i cant put into words how much seeing you bounce back the way you do has helped me and has surely helped other people!

[@faneka7763]

Who's here after the 3rd place in the last main event of Supercross 2020? That's another level of motivation and hard work!

[@craigkosters9852]

Glad to see you post the struggles of moto and everything it takes to return, these young lads today need to know how hard it is and the dedication you have to have to make it, Everyone I've ever known in racing gets hurt time and time again injurys happen but we love this sport. In the end gravity will take us all out so do it while you can.

[@kennymoore7717]

Just all around good guy. Enjoying life and adapting to be who you are.... keep on keepin on. And keep the fun videos coming...

[@jimwilkey7294]

Dean tells his story with 100% truth and all of his heart! He’s been through so much and is very wise to life’s realities. Thanks for sharing Deano!

[@bloxmotox]

Wow! this was a really good watch! Really shows the real side of you, and this can help a lot of people... keep it going, we want to see you in that podium for sure!

[@kristiepreston2379]

I was so stoked meeting you at A1 and seeing you ride that night, but I have to admit I was a bit nervous for you, but it all worked out and every race after that you just kept getting better and better. And Really like these video you do, please keep doing them!!

[@25Cameron25]

I would have never considered buying Lulu stuff for myself before but now I totally would solely because of their support for you, great to see outside companies supporting moto riders, especially in times of need.

[@123Jaghatardig]

Such a big heart in this guy, we all see and recognize it and if your a motocross fan and ur a Deano fan, all the love and I really wish you the best!!!

[@nathandowns369]

My little brother was given katamine when he snapped his tib and fib in half. He said everyone's faces started melting and turning into demons. He said it was the scariest realest thing ever. Glad to see you doing better. I was so bummed when you wrecked monster cup. But got to see you at A1! Keep kicking ass man

[@davem145mxr]

Glad to see you are doing well, as an amateur with an injury that took me out of racing I have much respect for you pros that have catastrophic injuries

[@williampeters8776]

We will all be glad to see the racing start back up, Big fan of yours and support you by purchasing some of your gear, Keep your head up and moving forward,

[@pedrogunner9750]

Dean I appreciate your positivity and your drive to move forward and do better. After all your injuries, getting screwed out of factory rides. I feel like you’ve had more kicks in the dick than most, but you keep pushing forward. I’m a big fan because of how you handle all of this.

[@TheGingercallum]

So impressed with your recovery dean. You was on a good roll before monster cup and the crash stopped the ball rolling but your hard work and dedication got it back rolling again and you should be very proud of that!!

[@stephendavis7707]

you have through the mill mate !! somehow you keep finding a way back from some of the darkest places ..You are definately a podium guy ,you are a real talented rider who knows how to graft too ,cant help but admire that about you ..Good luck for what ever happens with the rest of your season when ever that will be ?

[@zacharygrosser4115]

2021 LETS GOOO DEAN 🇬🇧 the struggles and trials you’ve faced have made you the man you are today. Still a Champion. Still a badass on a bike.

[@maddoxmoncrief3160]

I have been on ketamine before when I broke my leg, I know exactly what you are talking about bro, stuff was CRAZY

[@collinfloyd4585]

Maddox Moncrief they gave ketamine when I broke my leg too. It is wild it’s definitely a trip😂

[@Motox-hy2nj]

Agreed

[@dbmx3574]

You are an absolute MACHINE DEANO, 💪 no pain no gain 💪. Wish u all the best from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 mate. I too also suffered from anxiety and I'm still working thru it it's a horrible feeling and glad u have found your peace 🙏 keep em coming DW15

[@Krueger158]

It’s funny to hear Him talk about the experience, because I dislocated my hip in arenacross years ago and it was horrible. As Wilson says. Worst pain ever! I’ve broken both my arm and leg at the same time and it didn’t even hold a candle to the hip dislocation. Rough. I’m looking forward to seeing Wilson back on the track!

[@hollow_bean152]

Need more golden content like this. Thanks d15 for being an awesome sport. NO PAIN NO GAIN! LETS GO BABYYYYYY

[@jontaylor938]

My hero! Thanks for the poster for my wife in Atlanta! You are a class act!

[@mtbiknmtbikn]

Nicely done and great to see you're healthy. Always been a fan of yours. And everytime I go to get my hair cut at Hair Mechanix, your picture from when you were on 250's and Pro Circuit race team is a large decal on the wall. Keep plugging away and will be rooting for you when this is all over with.

[@atvmx46]

I had about the same injury 10 years ago. I dislocated the hip joint and broke the femur neck. Best advise i can give is stretch every day even on nonride days. I went a week without and could barely get out of bed. Good luck! Hope you get back to 100%.

[@jasonbarton3883]

Good luck Dean all the best whith your recovery and I’m sure you will many titles I was too a motorcross but had to give up through injury’s so your videos are so good keep them coming Jay from the uk

[@robasher8788]

Well done Deano your a inspiration to all in the sport

[@chris67mx49]

Nice Deno glad your feeling better and I cant wait too see you up top again soon stay save and dont get sick

[@MrMotocross450]

You are a true warrior. Your one tough dude.

[@MxGuru1]

you never give up. toughest guy in mx.. beyond 100%

[@daleadmire1451]

Praying for your brother Wilson, and that the good Lord will get us through this terrible time 🙏

[@hubbleman2]

Keep making videos man! I really enjoyed this one especially because I had a very similar accident I hit a tree and broke the ball of my hip off and for me it was a long 3 months of recovery. Glade to see you back on the bike and recovered!

[@bradbloom8937]

Broke my right femur and tore my left acl/meniscus/hamstring about a week before your crash. Went through the k-hole. Had a vivid dream that I was laying in a casket and my mom was talking to my dad about how calm and peaceful I looked. Neither of them were in the ambulance. All sorts of messed up. Your ability to bounce back so fast is really inspiring and I hope to get back out on the track ASAP. Keep pushing man!

[@stephenlessard325]

I broke 5 vertibrae last November.. been a mental struggle for me for sure. Pain is one thing but the mental game is hardest. Your a beast to be back running top 10 in Supercross this season. Keep up the good work. ✌️

[@littleoutlawlittleoutlaw6342]

Sad praying over you hopefully you get better and heal correctly

[@eric6rock]

Ketamine is a Psychedelic, must of been a big trip. Glad he's with us from all the injuries he had, wish the best of luck for Dean after this quarantine phase is over. 💪

[@The_Professor814]

Been my favorite rider for probably 10 years now!!!! Hate seeing you have these injuries to such a good dude but knowing the fact that the speed is there to beat all these guys just like on the 250s!!! Sucks to keep seeing I pray that this upcoming season you can get through it with no injuries!!! I hate to say this but I always wonder what if you never had those injuries early on in the start of your 450 career what would have happened!!!!

[@tommybritton9273]

Deano you're an og, always love watching you out there 👍👍love the grampa earl videos too.. stay safe out there and hang in there all this will be a memory..

[@22Blimp]

All the best 2 you! Dean TOUGH Wilson!

[@Lucabezas]

Keep your head up you journey will be just as good as Ken Roczen's 💪🙏🙏

[@behindbarswithnoodles]

true inspiration, how you get back up and back on the horse is amazing , 🙏. i’ has shoulder surgery 3 weeks ago,and i’m struggling with it, so frustrated with not being able to day to day things, thanks legend !! can’t wait to watch you race downunder 🇦🇺

[@Aint1S]

Dean, I'm so glad to see that you're back buddy! #️⃣1️⃣5️⃣ You've got a 💛 and it's sad to see the most positive person in racing take on the biggest hits and have to smash through every obstacle one could ever encounter; however, you're the strongest willed man in racing that can withstand it and come away stronger for the effort... *Anyone else would have QUIT!* You have my utmost respect as well as admiration & everything in-between for the prices you've paid without waiver... Yet, you're still here! (Also, between you and me, you have the best sponsors that a man could ever ask for in life!) You have to be the most inspiring guy in the game and while you did miss some races, I believe that you're virtuous tenacity is what makes you such a good person to back. If they could only figure out a way to sell "Dean *Willpower* Wilson's" actual willpower, I believe it would be banned as an infectiously addictive performance enhancer! 👏🏼🤣

[@Brado231]

Great video Dean. I went through the same/similar injury and it is hell as you say, both initially and in recovery. I really take my hat off to you and Malcolm Stewart for how well you have both come back from it. It is really scary in those early days of the injury when you feel like you may never be able to walk again and just doing the basics in life is a major effort. To see your progress in such a short time is sensational and a huge credit to how hard you worked at it. Congrats and I wish you all the best when racing starts again!

[@Ianiswrong]

Sounds crazy dude! Glad you’re okay! Hearing you talk about that pain reminds me so well of dislocating my own shoulder, it was out of place around 4 hours while they waited to figure out what to do lol. Also riding in the ambulance hitting all those bumps sucks big time haha. I’d imagine a hip would be way worse then a shoulder though so good on you for making it through all that!

[@cornemuse61]

Incredible recovery... thanks for the video Deano, cause when you close your instagram account after the hip injury, I really feared that you closed the shop on your Sx/MX carreer... such a nasty injury again... I saw you won in Montreal last fall, and I was looking to watch your rides on 2020 US SX season... it was a bummer... so this documentary is very interesting on what were going on behind the curtain..... will and heart of a true champion... you and K-ROC had so much bad luck to overcome to get back on top... you're both inspirational guys... Good Luck...

[@brucefile7430]

Very cool video Deano. Sometimes we all forget how brutal this sport can be sometimes. Hang tough and use this quarantine to get back on track and get that confidence again.

[@mobsquad8500]

Thanks DW...keep getting it! Tough as heck and awesome work...

[@frontlinemedia4270]

I tried to meet you at the Tampa autograph signing but it got shut dn before I could get to the front of the line. I've been a fan for a long time and you are a great inspiration in my riding.

[@charleswhitten3623]

Keep practicing bruh, I'm getting a lot of vids that, pros are still staying on top of their game. When all this crap is over hope to see you back on top. STAY HEALTHY and STAY SAFE !!

[@stevematthes4325]

KEEP PRACTICING, HE MIGHT GET THE HANG OF IT ONE DAY. 😃😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@timothyheinrich8881]

Thank you Dean! Nice to hear how you came through all this tough stuff. Looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the boys throw down once quarantine is over.

[@anthonymarkey2407]

Your doing great man keep your head up it takes a lot to get back on the bike after a serious injury both physically and mentally and your fighting right through it can wait to see your video about anxiety

[@nathanpettet4348]

Dislocating your hip is no joke man. I fell 30 feet after I jump about a year ago and it was out for 9 hours. The doctors took 7 xrays and couldn’t see what was wrong. Wow what a time. They even said I was faking it. I remember having the same experience as you dean having to crutch around and go to physical therapy

[@TheNicoelias]

Thanks for the news about your injury. You are a true hero, an inspiration for all of us to overcome tough times !

[@orka212911]

i enjoyed the video.. Glad your recovery went well i trust your almost back to your old self by now. This C-19 business is sure putting the breaks on our fun. Hope to see you in Detroit next season

[@mxmaniac05]

Will be known for the length of time as one of the best guys the sport has ever had participate. Thanks Deano.

[@LKnight32]

Even after watching you at A1 and watching this it still doesn’t seem possible that you actually made it to A1! Your story is so incredible with the luck you have been dealt with injuries but I know you can still win!! Keep it up Deano and stay safe during this crazy time! 🤙🤙

[@chrisrose2898]

Thank you for sharing your journey. It’s nice to see hard work and dedication pay off! Be safe. Can’t wait to watch you competing on the track again, hopefully soon!

[@BushmanCanuck]

Thanks for the video man and openly sharing your up's and downs, I dig the honesty. It's nice to get updates from the little kid that would send the big tables over me at Blackfoot😁 👍🏻

[@moto67e]

Amazing story and perseverance. Well done Deano. Best of luck the rest of the season.

[@rocketsadventures1086]

Awesome Deano enjoyed the update great effort / motavition to get to A1. I wonder how Old Grandpa Earl is doing..... stuck in lock down at the nursing home probably overdosing on Rockstar energy drinks.. He would be hanging to get some track time when this covid has moved on..

[@zacharyminer6663]

Your the best in all aspects! Keep working hard and you be back upfront!

The struggle is real bro. So proud of you for sticking it out man. Glad your bringing it around.

[@gregmulfort9577]

Awesome video and I'm glad you didn't quit! This sport needs you

[@Jaxen_Cole]

Most people say “ik how you feel” but don’t. I actually do. Last year I broke pay pelvis, dislocated my hip, and broke my collarbone. It sucks but I’m recovered 100%. I got pins, rods, and screws. It’s the worst pain ever without exaggeration and mine had to be put back in and it was a 50/50 chance if it would work but it did later that week I got surgery. But good luck.

[@TheSilvercrosser]

great person and a true idol! how much pain can a man handle? keep the head up, deano! love to watch the video about anxiety, which is one thing, most racers underestimate. and stay away from the hospitals:-)

[@bdkscootervlogs8893]

[@Tylerfromthedesert]

Great video Deano! I’ve routed for you every time you’ve lined up on the gate. Your the people’s champ man! Your only one full healthy season away from being T3.

[@mattlennymoore282]

Hey Dean, I broke & dislocated my hip. Now I’m NO pro, and a I was about 32 when I crashed. I smoke too much weed every day too but I managed to be riding back at the same track I crashed at 8weeks later to the day. I shouldn’t have been riding but I needed to get out! Probably took me 6 months to get back to a good shape. My hip has never been the same really. It clicks quite bad and feels prone to dislocating in certain positions but you get by. Just be careful with it because it will defo get worse the older you get!
