Inside the Helmet: R2R Mental Health Initiative Video- EP 1: Jeff Emig

[@vetmoto]

Great series! Watched Ricky’s episode too and so amazing. I never reached your level, Jeff, but was deeply in MX in CA and then moto journalism through 1987. Holy cow when it all ended I went through years of withdrawal. Life is good now, but you guys offering your insights makes it better for everyone who’s raced, loved it, misses it, etc. Highs and Lows….makes life rich and textured, but can bring you down without a helping hand, a voice, a friend. Thank you!!!

These are excellent and informative videos. Thank you for making them. Really surprised that more people have not seen them or commented on them. Very valuable and moving stuff. thanks again.

What a great interview and a great guy always was and always will be a fan

Jeff is very mature & well spoken. Walking his talk.

This is so awesome. There's always been such a stigma about talking about mental health, especially for me. But people watching this may just think, if Jeff Emig can talk about going through tough times, maybe I can too.

WOW, Fro-daddy. Very powerful and open. Thank you. ❤

Well said Jeff! Thanks for sharing and talking about this as it’s sorely needed. And super pleased for you and all you have overcome. Keep up the great work!

Lots of motocross racers that have any amount of success for years, weather local or on the big stage, have problems adjusting to just " normal life" and live happily ever after. Winning and envisioning winning is easy. Lots of tools to help you do that mentally, but few tools to do that after your done. Simply amazed at how many pros and good amateur riders that have trouble bridging racing into normal life. Thanks for sharing

I remember Jeff's stuttering when I'd interview him for events I covered for MotoWorld. I always patiently worked with him the best I could to get the best interview from him. Glad to see he's overcome that.

Great words from a legend.

Great video and insite on the behind the scenes effects of racing. The struggle and pain is real and this definitely needs to be addressed!.These kids start so young about how to win but not how to live a normal life with out the racing and just thinking about winning. Life is short and racing is even shorter! Thanks for stepping up and putting it out there. Great job! Great series thank you!

[@tommypruitt1835]

Pined thank you Mr Emig for your honesty always

[@jpslayermayor9293]

Its so uplifting to know how much you overcame and where you made it to, I never would have known hearing you speak so fluently and coherently today in broadcasting. Thanks man!

That's some tough ass stuff Jeff welcome to the party and well done! 👍🏼😎 PS: the Gene's you are born with you're basically stuck with, and not your fault. This is where professional help and medications can turn lives around! 🐬

good documentaries but the music is awful quit trying to control peoples moods with it

[@patrickkennedy2533]

I'll be praying for you my friend

[@kylemanning3207]

I watched this documentary but still don't know how he ended his career...

[@hyfrsilaz7144]

He crashed and messed up his back really bad and his right leg. Forced him into retirement

[@hancowman7622]

I'm looking for videos of Jeff starting fires in people's kitchens. this isn't it.
