The Most Shocking Injury I've Ever Endured (Shoulder Replacement)

Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel! In today's video, I'm opening up about one of the most intense experiences I've ever had - a dirtbike crash that left me with a broken shoulder. 😱💥
I've always been passionate about riding, but nothing prepared me for the moment when things took a sudden turn. The adrenaline was pumping, the wind rushing by, and then... bam! It happened so fast.
In this video, I'll take you through the whole ordeal - from the heart-stopping moment of impact to the aftermath and recovery process. It's not easy revisiting such a challenging time, but I hope sharing my story will serve as a reminder of the importance of safety and caution, even in the thrill-seeking world of extreme sports.
So, buckle up and join me on this rollercoaster ride of emotions and resilience. Don't forget to hit that like button and subscribe for more adrenaline-fueled adventures and life lessons. Thanks for watching, and remember to always ride safe out there! 🏍️💨
Stay tuned for the full story - it's one you won't want to miss!
The aim of this channel is to bring you guys along with my enduro riding fails and accomplishments highs and lows are always a big part of the journey.

Had the same repair 8 years ago. I've not worn mine out and I've crashed my dirtbikes and MTBs on it more than a sane, normal person would. IMHO - Don't switch bikes based on how you feel now. Within a year I was nearly at the point of forgetting I had my arm bone chopped off. Now, I'm running a Beta 390 and 200 Race editions. There are no stressors the bigger motor introduces the shoulder can't handle. PLEASE remember to keep up ALL your stretching exercises, that is where the final result comes from.

[@Motomarsh]

This is great to hear thanks for sharing. Did you have something similar to me?

[@user-ce5mf6my2i]

@@Motomarsh YW and hope you're still healing up right and quick! Yes, same procedure, surgical saw to humerus, replace humeral head with chromoly and resurface glenoid. Re-assemble joint, sew up subscapularis muscle and close the skin with staples.

[@Ktm-jas]

3 broken wrists , split chest plate , Broken knee cap, broken hand , fingers , ankle numerous ribs …. Over 18 years of mx 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥲. I feel your pain.

[@Motomarsh]

You definitely have been through the wars aswell 🙈 interestingly all my injuries have actually been Motocross aswell. That's sort of why I migrated into Enduro. It's not safe by any means but I'd say it's definitely safer 😂

[@Ktm-jas]

@@Motomarsh yeah I had to give up mx about 10 years ago because of the injuries , but then started watching yours and Midwests videos about a month ago and know i have an enduro 🤣👌.

You're operation is basically what I went through

I feel your pain then. It's pretty brutal. I totally underestimate it

I'll try my best brother

[@leehall5845]

Hi Rob ,good to see you back on here and a speedy recovery. Got to stick with the 4 stroke mate. It always makes me smile when you tractor up the side of a mountain when all the 2 strokes are screaming and smoking away still down the bottom of the hill😂.

[@dynamotightstar3472]

Respect bro, you've been living with a massive weight on shoulders, no pun intended, with any luck you'll be seeing the back of it now. 👊

[@Motomarsh]

Absolutely pun intended 😉😂 but I'm so stoked to look forward now and get back to messing around with the boys

[@MotoMatt69]

Well I never knew you had, had such an injury when you guided my stag do. You’re very good despite it so once recovered you’ll be an absolute weapon. Recover well you legend, I will hopefully get to ride with you again in the future with 100ish% physical ability!

[@Motomarsh]

Thanks dude 🦾 I'm on the road so can't wait to get back on the Stallion

[@johanjofo]

Hi Marsh! I’m happy for your shoulder replacement, big time! I work as an assistant nurse in the surgery room here in Sweden. I’ve been both assistant and scrub nurse assistant on many of same surgerys as that you’ve done. Cant believe why they didnt do this earlier if i may be honest. Never mind, now you got the good stuff in your shoulder, and i dont think you will have more pain, after the healing is done. Stick to the training your physioterapist suggested you to do… walking fingers up the wall and so on. I believe your motion range will be way better after this surgery, than the earlier two ones. I’m so happy for you, tho i dont know you 🙌🏼 Greets from Johan in Jönköping - Sweden 🤘🏼

[@Motomarsh]

hej tack så mycket 👌 You are a stronger man than I am. The surgery room is a brutal place and I'm not sure I would have the stomach for it 😂 To be fair this has always been an option but the plan was to leave it as long as bearable so in the future they will be able to do a couple more if needed. I would like to tha k you for doing what you do also everyone in this sport owes a great deal to the dedication of the hospital systems

[@johanjofo]

@@Motomarsh thanks mate 😃 Love your swedish 👍🏼 Tack själv 😉

[@motoboggle7525]

Fair play for doing this vid Rob it’s clear to see the emotions surrounding the whole situation, don’t rush it tho would be so shit if something went wrong….. maybe get ya self a 200…. Light and good power but most of all FUN ! Be some great content to be had there …… hoping for a speedy recovery bro 🤙

[@Motomarsh]

Thanks dude. The 200 is getting lots of love and to be fair I've ridden a few and had a smile from ear to ear each time

[@bakerlandcrab9634]

I just have all these images in my mind of you floating the bike over things and making it look so effortless - I respect that you are also giving us the other side of the coin. I wish you the best, brother!

[@Motomarsh]

There's always two sides I think even I would be amazed at how maybe people ride with some injuries and just get on with it and adapt. I just thought I should share my story with everyone and hopefully give hope for people that get injured and think of giving up on the dream

[@revinkevin8511]

I had ACL reconstruction 6 weeks ago..missing riding soo much..speedy recovery..2 stroke 4eva!!

[@Motomarsh]

If I was gonna go 2t it would have to be a real one not a fake one like the tpi ones if I did go. I'll go old school or still to the diesel tractor power 🦾

Cheers gazza 🦾

[@ZauxieMoto]

Man i'm so happy to hear you are doing well after all these years it's finally kinda sorted! I can totally understand the rush of emotions living in pain for years is rough AF! Nothing nearly as tough as you but i had my gallbladder removed a week ago for 2 or 3 years i always had pain in my stomach i tried so many different diets and nothing worked now that it's gone i havn't had the usual pain all day just pain from the surgery and it broke me down a little too cause i finally feel like healthy and i got energy again... It's tough staying positive and keep doing things even things you love doing when you're in pain so for you to stick it out for like 18 +- years is amazing on it's own and says alot about your character! Hope to see you on the bike soon bud!

[@Motomarsh]

That's kinda the same emotional journey I've been through so it's good to hear your story aswell buddy. Hopefully I'll be back better than ever

[@ZauxieMoto]

@@Motomarsh I just hope i remember how to ride when i can get back at it hahah but i'm not anywere near your skill level and experience! I'm sure when you are healed you feel like a new person at least i hope you do, Marsh riding bikes to his full potential without pain is going to be mad! Can't wait to see you back on the bike also sorry for the late and rather long reply!

[@richardhammond2633]

All the best for your recovery. You are still young and I think you will come back stronger. Your riding skills were even more impressive after hearing that story. Maybe a Beta 200 would be good for starters? At 51yrs old I'm thinking about going down to a 250 4 stroke just for the body. Stay strong, you have a lot of living and riding left.

[@Motomarsh]

Ah thanks for commenting 👌 the 200 seems to be a very popular choice to be fair 😉

Thanks brother, ye it's pretty hard to explain. Especially when we generally try to just get on with it. But I'm very excited to not have to be on the pain killers and to see the potential of a new shoulder 🦾

[@samcooper4984]

Man, I had a massive off a few weeks ago and am now selling my bikes as the risk far outweighs the reward. I am keen to keep following your journey and can't wait to see you back on the bike.. bbbrrrraaappppp

[@airindiana]

Sorry to hear mate hope you were ok! I’m new to this, been riding a year. Your post resonated. I’m constantly mentally balancing the risk side and I can’t square it away to be honest. I had a crash stupidly practicing hole shot starts of all things and it spooked me. I do worry I’ll knacker myself up such that it impacts work and my other stuff long term (I do filming and cinematography) but I enjoy it. I don’t know the answer, wish I did 😂. Sounds like you’ve made a good decision for you which is the main thing. My sister used to work as a horse groom for years and had a bad off at work and broke her back. She recovered fully and can walk thankfully but she jacked it in a few years after.

[@samcooper4984]

I broke my back 6 ribs and my knee cap. Neally died. Was a big one and it was on a trail I ride weekly and we were going slow. May ride again one day

[@airindiana]

@@samcooper4984 Bloody hell that’s..words can’t do justice. My sincere wishes with getting better and your recovery.

[@Motomarsh]

It is a risk reward sport but for me personally I think it's what sets it apart from the other sports, the highs are so high but with the territory comes the low lows but for me I'm just borderline obsessed and after an accident I go from "that's it, I'm done with it" then time ticks by and I start to recover and then my brain switches to "I can't wait to get back out riding"

[@kennyshardenduronortheast6408]

Looking good. After a massive operation. Hope to see you in the late summer. And if you're coming up if you've been watching my videos, pick where you want to go. But want you a 100% fit. First, looking forward to your videos when they come back on class.

[@Motomarsh]

That sounds like a plan 💪 you going turkey this year?

[@ryanmacgregor3799]

Bed yourself back in on what you're used to for the time being mate, the snap of the 2 stroke probably wont do you any favours for the time being. Hope you're back out pain free soon 💪💨

[@Motomarsh]

This seems to be a popular vote actually so I think I'll keep the 4t and maybe after a while dabble in the 2t world. But if I'm honest the 4t is just awesome at everything

[@Motomarsh]

The pain being gone is definitely the main objective I would definitely rather be pain free but limited movement 🦾

[@philipsmith6152]

Great to hear your n the road to recovery, I had a mcl injury and surgury last year. Went back to riding on a Beta 350 RE, ended up flipping it, the flaming and hard to start issues drove me crazy, BUT the biggest issue was the 4T it was just too physically demanding on a hard ride, it took soooo much energy out of me, Id last 1/2 a day and be done.!! I went back to a 2T, but this time not a 300, I got a 250, soooo much better, not as aggressive as the 300 and not as physically demanding on the old body. Good luck mate, hope to see you back on a bine soon 👍

[@Motomarsh]

That's interesting as I find 2t tiring but super fun and the 4t more predictable and I last longer but the 2t is definitely lighter and when that band kicks in.. 💃 no better feeling 🤣

[@simoncooper5628]

I speak to Jordan Scott a far bit and he's pretty impressed with his and he seems to swap from the 300 2t to 4t then swing his leg over the 144 and be lightning so they must be pretty good bikes for someone to be on the sharp end on any cc

All the best......................4t or 2t question, got to be the smoothness of the 4 for the win?? Just maybe don't start with the brutes that are the 350+'s?

[@OhioEnduro]

@Motomarsh I feel for you man, I've broken my wrist and had tendon surgery and it's just not the same anymore. Always in pain but when I ride it goes away because I'm distracted. We'll always support those who support us! Keep at it man and the content is always great!

[@9101john]

Great to hear that it's going ok with the recovery. Definitely don't do too much too soon, as tempting as it may be!. And Please stick with the 4 stroke, it sets you apart from all of the 2 stroke you tubers on enduros, much better sound anyway 😁😁

[@Motomarsh]

Agreed 👌 I do like the sound of a real 2 stroke but most of them are the fake ones these days pottering around below the powerband and they sound shite 😂

[@garywilliamscornwall]

Give them both a try. You might find a 300 2 stroke feels easier overal. Good luck with the recovery

I think I'll give it a try in the near future. I've toyed with the KTM group 2ts but there's just something in me that doesn't like the fact the are so bad stock and need essential upgrades to be slightly in with a shout where beta sherco pretty much cone ready to race out the box so I might look into it 🦾

I'm on the tail end of it now and I'm almost angry at myself for putting it off for all these years

[@airindiana]

I’m nowhere close to your skill being a new rider but I’ve just swapped from a 150tpi to an FE250 and bloody hell really like it. It feels a “small amount” heavier than the 150, slightly. So it would probably feel same or actually lighter than a 300 I’m guessing? I don’t know. It feels light anyway. It’s amazing, doesn’t try to pull your arms off yet sure someone could be as quick on it as anyone else except on say open fire roads. It’ll rev high too. To me it’s kind of got the benefits of my 150 being nimble but it has got some decent low end unlike the 150 which has hardly any. I know I’m picking it up off the floor far less. Maybe try one? I know folk sniff at them being a 250 4t but worth a try. You could always have it whist you’re getting your arm muscles and tendons back conditioned then if you decide it’s not enough flog it and get something else. I guess recovering enough to ride at all is the first stage then the second stage is probably a year whilst your body adjusts and builds back with the new shoulder. Not a time to rush and a perfect time to have a bike that’s kind to you whilst getting you back going. The big stuff come come back after, you’ll thank yourself for not rushing. Sorry ramble over. Best with the recovery.

[@Motomarsh]

The 250f is definitely underrated for adults but I do find them quite flat but this is more to do with being 100kg kitted up. 😂 I don't blame the bike for feeling flat trying to pull my fat ass about 😂 150s are probably the most fun on the market but in reality we all like to have an easy life and the bigger cc seems to get you out of trouble easily. That's mostly the reason for riding big bikes like the 390 and 350. The downfall is picking them up 😂

[@airindiana]

@@Motomarsh ha fair play 😄. Have to admit I’m now a bit of a 4 stroke convert. Massively, oh yeah the 150 they’re super fun even for me. I love my 150. I found you need to be a good rider to get up steep muddy hills on them though. It’ll do them but I found being crap I was struggling a lot and on the floor most of the time as you only have the one option which is screaming Jesus mode and clutch which I’m shit at 😂. It was purely the hills on it that caused me to switch. I actually want to stand a chance of getting round a lap 😂. I think once I get better ironically is the time I’d get the most from a 150 when I’ve more skill/confidence. I wish I could keep it as a second bike.

[@daneheinrich2690]

I was actually just wondering how you were going only yesterday. I really enjoy your video's. All the best. What about a 200 RR RE? Lighter and not so violent on the power......

[@Motomarsh]

The 200rr is getting alot of love and I have ridden quite a few and every time get blown away with the torque coming from that tiny engine.

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

You are bionic now. Heal up and feel better soon. 👍

[@Motomarsh]

Gettin rebuilt bit by bit

[@TimPaddy]

I love you showing up the boys on a 4t

[@Motomarsh]

I do love it too 💪

[@highlandendurorider6519]

You are a bloody warrior and don’t rush back as you’re worth the wait. Ps ever thought about lawn bowls as less dangerous and less expensive 😉🤣🤣

[@Motomarsh]

But also 1000% more boring 😂

[@redlineyo3218]

Get well soon “robbo”cop! 👍🏾

[@Motomarsh]

🦾🤖

[@racrrob]

I wear out the sole on my left boot really fast also. I will only wear the Sidi boots now where I can replace the sole myself. I wonder if the injury to my left shoulder is the cause as well, although not as bad as your injury.

[@Motomarsh]

It's definitely a possibility, I genuinely only figured it out this year after so many years of doing it 🤣 I wish my hooves could fit into sidi's and the toejoe boots aren't very well built I've seen they don't last to long unfortunately

[@DXRAZOR]

you'll find when the day comes to ride gently that the muscle memory shakes the muscles back into working correctly again. your physio will stall and be frustrating but when yo get to ride its all worth it. ive had my titanium in my shoulder for 10 years now, it hurts in the cold or if im under HV power lines for a while. generally im pain free and learning the ropes on the enduro bike. keep recovering, enjoy that holiday and let us know when your back at micks leading the rides again. as for what bike i think you on a xtrainer with suspension upgrades might be the ticket, softer power than normal 2t lighter and smaller. grip it an rip it

[@Motomarsh]

You'll be there it's amazing what the body does and how it adjusts to deal with stuff. I think the mental side is the hardest sometimes. And the X trainer is genuinely a great shout. Hopefully I'll be up the mountain before long charging you guys around

[@alexfeatherstone6676]

Stick with whatever you feel most confident with. 4 strokes are less violent like you said, also consider the beta200, it probably feels like a mountain bike.

[@Motomarsh]

I have had the pleasure of riding a few 200's and I was so so surprised at the torque from such a little engine. And like you said it genuinely felt like a MTB to rip about. Good shout

[@alexfeatherstone6676]

I recently bought my first bike which is a ktm150xc, it feels like 7/8ths the size of my dad's 350 and half the weight. But it is quite violent. ​I reckon the 200 beta is perfect, you could probably tweak the power valve timing to make it civilized @@Motomarsh

[@ogasi1798]

I don't know you from Adam but i truly hope it finally works out for you, such a long road - fingers crossed, BTW i say 4t - we who use them know why we recommend them

[@Motomarsh]

Thanks 👌 ye I do love my 4t I genuinely find it easier in places and I also love ruffling feather's in the hard enduro world because it's almost against the law to use a 4t 😂 but when im smoking them up the hills I love to see there cogs turning thinking 🤔 maybe there but that bad 😂

[@snox7320]

Sounds like ya on the mend mate which is great . Take ya time n yeah go for a lighter bike .... Don't forget that when ya feel down you got a lot of support and there are lots of people who are far worse off than yourself mate . Keep that chin up and stay positive 🙏

[@Motomarsh]

Thank you dude. It really helps hearing from People like yourself to keep me motivated and looking forward and getting me back to doing what I love

[@snox7320]

You got this mate , sure of it !

[@leaulife569]

If bikes were safe and easy to ride we wouldn`t do it.

[@Motomarsh]

Exactly! I'm in no delusion that where sain 😂 but that's why I like it 😂

[@leaulife569]

I`m 67 and ride a BETA rr250 2T that wants to kill me. I could be playing bowls like some of my friends. The very thought haha FFS.@@Motomarsh

[@stephparry77]

Hi mate, what gearing you running on the 350? Cheers

[@Motomarsh]

I'm currently running 12-49 and seems to be a great all round. But it depends what type of riding and how you ride.

[@greengoblindave]

So when I first met you at Mick Extance. But didn’t ride with you, due to being a novice.z you took the more experience m. That was a year ago. So this your talking about is a year before that ? I never knew mate… So this video is two hours old. So you are okay now yeah ? Been back at it for a year ? Yes that’s looks an amazing job… Well you’re doing an amazing job..

[@Motomarsh]

Ye it's nearly there I'm hoping to be back riding in a month or so and pain free all being well 🦾🦾 Yes I've been adapting and putting up with the pain for more years than I should have. I hope to see you up the mountain again one day 👌

[@motomule3364]

Totally get you not feeling you deserve it that's completely normal I think anyway, I broke my back 4 years ago from motocross 2 bikes ran over me at the bottom of a jump the constant pain can really get you down but it is what it is you'll get there in time. Just don't get fat like I did 😂 I'm just getting back to it just got a beta 200rr, times a healer mate you'll be back 👊

[@Motomarsh]

Time is a great healer most definitely. And your injury 🤯 that's a big injury to come back from and fair play to you for keeping the passion alive and the motivation to get bk riding. And the 200 💪 it's coming up alot here

[@Enduro262]

Get a 2t and keep the 4 banger. Happy days. All the best for the future 👊🏻

[@Motomarsh]

I have been tempted to get both maybe even a Stark 😉

[@BushRoostersMX]

speedy recovery, hope all goes better than planned.... Just stay with the Beta. I watch all you guys ride, im sick of seeing KTM's its nice to see another Beta riding, lol...

[@francis2754]

💪💪💪

[@Motomarsh]

Golden moment

[@francis2754]

You doin sea 2 sky again this year

[@richardlennon4148]

Take you time.My vote is 200 geared down withclutch weight.

[@Motomarsh]

To be fair I've loved every 200 beta I've tried always amazes me the torque

[@AustrisPhoto]

Get well soon. And for the next bike - get a new Fantic 300cc 2T

[@Motomarsh]

I've had the chance to ride a few and I've been very impressed but they have reliability troubles from all the ones I know 🙈 but they are relatively fresh on the sharp end of Enduro. And even starting with a Yamaha base they have pushed in the right direction with there own trick bits which I like

[@kevbuck8875]

Stick with the 4 stroke linear power

[@Motomarsh]

I'm glad I asked the question now because it's a hard one to get my head around especially not riding it's making my brain think of absolutely everything 🤣

[@zantharzello2999]

check out Midwest if you like ktm what's the weight of his bike trade bikes his 300 he keeps saying he wants a 4 stroke hahaha tell him to man up lol mate your young and strong never give up I'm 47 just getting in to it my Serna rx 250 bad ass starter bike take care mate from Kevin in Bolivia south america

[@Motomarsh]

To be fair he loves his KTM but he hasn't tried anything else really to compare it to. Personal I've had owned a few ktm's and the lack of rear linkage is horrible for me personally and the tpi.. well I won't go down that road 😂 although I was impressed with the new TBI engine. I'm amazed that your watching from Bolivia 🤯 KZbin is a wonderful place bringing people together from all over the world 👌🦾

[@zantharzello2999]

@Motomarsh I'm from the usa. But retired to bolivia waiting for my citizenship hahah but not waiting for fun. Haha live and love life lol. Dont break anymore bones. Have a great day mate 👍

[@glennaltschwager5234]

It's awesome news that you are on the mend mate. Getting back on the bike will be the best feeling ever when the time comes. Stay strong and cheers for the update bro 🍻

[@babar69110]

wsh you the best

[@Motomarsh]

Thank you 💪 it's been a rough journey

[@justridesa]

there is only 1 2stroke ktm

[@Motomarsh]

I said 2 strokes not a fake stroke. Poor KTM is still trying to dial in the TPI & TBi unfortunately. They go okay if your willing to spend a few thousand to bring it up to the equivalent of a carb bike. But something fishy sit right that the most expensive bike is by far the worst stock bike out

[@justridesa]

@Motomarsh that is why I'm still on the 2017, patiently waiting for the TBI to be perfected. But the hard enduro isn't going to bad.
