its pretty sickening that these guys go out risking their bodies to promote companies but these same companies drop them as if they are disposable employee's.

[@juicenot2481]

Yea it sucks, I wish some team out there that could figure out a better way

[@tel111827]

Its the worst ive ever seen....no respect your only as good as your last race. Theres no loyalty.

[@dawhiteeazye2466]

MX Sx is a brutal sport man. You got to remember this is the career path these people to take. They all know how the game goes and don't get forced at gunpoint to sign deals for rides. Still brutal and I hear what you're saying but that's how the game goes.

[@KTMmarkus]

Are the other large sports any different? NHL, NFL, NBA?

[@hrbestalkinme3690]

Thats how every big company is. You pour your heart and soul into your job, they still dont give a fuck about you.

[@BRACALONEBORDINTEAM]

Deano you're such an inspiration, the best thing you can tell is to never give up and continue to fight. Keep going man

[@MidWestMX]

What a humble nice guy. You Rock Dean! Rooting for you all the way buddy

[@ktmrider_45]

Dude you're gnarly, really hoping the best for you in 2019 you deserve a ride you have way too much talent. Keep the positive attitude!

[@austinwolfgang3479]

“Luke”

[@patb686]

Best attitude Ever! Dean's one of the best rider and I don't want to see him not riding because I like his riding style. And also he's one of the riders able to change the numbers every time he race, anyway it's not cool to always see the same guys riding up front and winning. He's a colorful guy and that's definitely more entertaining when he's racing.

[@DriftSquid]

Love the honesty man. Completely understand why you kept this hush hush. If only everyone was so honest it would be unreal to hear some of the stories. Keep killing it this year mate

[@Heath333]

so humble how can you not like this guy

[@glennmartyn7785]

Look at you now Dean Wilson! I think an outside sponsor will gladly put you on an epic salary and flip your factory racing expenses... I had an amatuer expert career similar to yours. In the 1986 Mini O's, I got a 3rd in 125A TT, 10th in SX, and 5th in Mx while racing 4 days with a compression burst fracture of my C1 sustained from a Mini O's Sx practice crash due to flagger not warning me of a pile-up on 3rd jump of a fast and out tripple. So a month after getting out of my neckbrace, I crushed my right arch requiring surgery and out for 6 months. I came back and pulled a 1-1 on a 1988 Cagiva 125 in the 125A at the 1988 Florida Winter Am' Gatorback Round, then walked away from the sport and went to college... as there wasn't many guys getting paid and plenty getting hurt back in 88. No one new how to train like you guys today. It was before big rig teams or corporate sponsors came to the sport. But you can't ask Ricky Carmichael who Glenn Somerville was? I was 1986 FL State Champion in 125A. I had made the podium growing up many years against a long list of bad asses! Dean, you live in a time where you can make a new stand not counting on the industry and to bring some companies to Supercross and Motocross to back you and your journy to be your best in SX & Mx! Because you have the capapbility and dedication and simple raw talent to be US 450 SX & 450 MX Champion! Maybe in 2019 from your first 2 rounds... But definitely on the horizon. Here is a poem I wrote. The Heart of a Racer There was a time long ago... people knew my name and said hello... The heights I'd reach flying through the air... racing my bike without a care... Some of my fellow racers made it to the top... and a few of them were almost forgot... The battles we had were oh so real... sending some to the ground pounded by steal... Yet the ones who made it above the rest... never forgot how they became the best... And those of us that were almost there... had to redirect our passion, had to redirect our prayers... It was a time where we all raced like we had it in the bag... even when we were 2nd to last at the checkered flag... And then sometimes I'd forget the biggest part... that I'll always be a racer deep in my heart... But when I recently saw one of my old racer friends... it helped me snap out of it and comprehend... For he had lost the ability to walk... yet he was still down for sharing a talk... It's tough to know he wasn't the only one... and I'm proud to see he's far from done... To witness the heights he's reached so far... helps others to see and reach for the stars... For I know my struggles are all but my own... cause we're all fellow racers never unknown... By Glenn Martyn / AKA Glenn Somerville #798

[@coreypurt8041]

I had no idea of all these injuries in 18. Hope all goes to plan in the following years to come. Show the teams that you deserve a factory ride. I'm sure a lot of young kids, mums and dads will look up to you for your honesty, generosity and have no doubt that bikes will be sold all because of you, not because of over-budgeted adds.

[@hectorjavierborbon5398]

That story was sickening but you are such an inspiration and showing the people that you're not weak! Hoping the best for you in 2019

[@tel111827]

Good luck this year Dean. I will be cheering you on for sure. You will get a factory ride again before seasons end.

[@monkeydad22]

Bro.... I'ma be rooting for you my man this year!!!! You got that heart and grit that those great comeback stories start from! #21earl

[@michaelmckamey155]

You are an inspiration. I thought 18 was a bad year 4 me( t bones by a hit and run, totaled my cycle), you made my year look like a year at Disneyland. I am a big fan, keep on rocking.

[@paulmcgrath3159]

The way you keep bouncing back is incredible Dean. So down to Earth and it’s great to see a genuine humble guy in the position you’re in. I’m so excited to see you out as a privateer again and look forward to seeing you back up where you belong! Love from London! 🇬🇧

[@JamesyMusial14]

What a battler. So much respect. Keen to watch you next weekend in Sydney 🇦🇺

[@eishi.kajita]

Thank you, Dean, for telling us the full story. This was certainly a first for any top rider as far as I can remember. I wish you the absolute best luck this upcoming season and hope to see you prove to the factory teams that they should have believed in you! Go get ‘em, Deano!!!!

[@davidgriego8722]

Thanks for sharing the real deal! People don’t realize the struggles and total commitment it takes to contend at the professional level! You have a new fan!

[@lisapayne4147]

I just want to give you a hug not only all pain you indured but mentally how strong you are . beautiful

[@hunterbilliot3412]

And that's why he's my favorite Rider. You have the most heart in the industry.

[@jamesriccelli6919]

Great guy! How could you not root for him! One of my favorites and wishing you a successful '19!

[@SayHeyKid917xxx]

Deano, you're a total savage, and a complete inspiration man. I actually had two left knee ACL tears back to back because of very very similar situations like yours. To see you attacking it like you'll never let it slow you down is amazing. I don't think people truly understand how intense it is to recover from, let alone all your other injuries. Bravo bud! Keep up the youtube content, love the authenticity around you bro👍👍

[@Bt26x]

Deano, you’re very smart on how you are marketing yourself right now. A lot of guys would sit at ho,e & wait for that call, but you know what’s up. Social media is where it’s at! Keep them coming!

[@ballou1777]

Thanks Dean for giving us the real uncut stories that we can’t get anywhere else

[@lukepaul2882]

You just got annouced to ride the nz sx open. Thanks for coming dude!!

[@BSmyth634]

Holy cow Deano, I had no idea. I knew the shoulder was a rough one but didn't know about the ACL. Man, you're the definition of a legend!

[@ehsool9152]

Nice to hear you explain it "the way it is" it's not moaning or whining, it reality. My son did his ACL, MCL and meniscus playing soccer, it's a lot of really hard work getting back. Good luck and stay healthy.

[@zakcourt7419]

Hey dean, I'm 15 and I'm from Ireland, I race in france but in a few years my dad and i are coming to America to race and we would really like to meat you, you had so much happen to you but you just keep going witch is just amazing and you inspire so many people to never give up, I'm getting my arm pump surgery on the 4th of December so you saying it helped you out is great, if i had lot of money and a team I would hire you👍👌

[@trustenbaker8766]

This is what's so difficult about motocross. There would be many many GOAT'S in motocross if not for one thing, injuries.

[@mattbrown8645]

Really pulling for you this year deano! There's no question that you are one of if not the most talented riders out there. Your a breath of fresh air for the industry and I believe you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. Stay smart stay safe and good luck in 2019

[@timoschumulz4323]

Hey Deano, you should try the Ortema.de knee protection! They build the best knee protection ever!!!!

[@wolfgang8795]

He´s right there !

[@278films]

Ortema is amazing!

[@MrCleowaite]

Knee braces divert the load elsewhere when your knee goes to hyperflex, this can lead to a snap femur which is overall a more serious condition

[@lauriL90]

@@MrCleowaite maybe 10 year old braces yes. new ones have break point so they break before damage your femur

[@douglassloan6831]

Bloody hell, mate. That is freaking incredible that you had the inner and outer strength to continue on and ride as well as you did. Always been a big fan, but hearing this, well, I just can't wait to see you come out this year and tear that shit up. Gonna be epic. Wishing you all the luck in the world!

[@mt1885]

If they brought back 2 strokes in AMA - and manufacturing it would change as there would be a LOT of new riders! The Maintenance of 4 strokes is astronomically expensive....

[@kylerscott8522]

Aris Torm I've always wondered why 4 strokes are so popular now.

[@mt1885]

@@kylerscott8522 I do not believe they are, the sport is in decline and they got no resale value. It is now NASCAR with a few riders riding couches around...

[@Lord_Internet]

not to be a dick, but for the average person who rides maybe 3 times a month, the cost is cheaper to buy a 4 stroke. Yes, maintenance is more expensive but there is less of it compared to having to rebuild 2 strokes all the time. I mean shit, when i raced we were rebuilding top ends 1-2 times a month. hopped on the 4 banger and i dont think we rebuilt anything but 1 clutch in a 6 month time frame.

[@stevepadilla9729]

you are amazing. To ride in pain, I know that pain through mountain bike racing. But I wasn't the man that you are, I stopped racing and regret I didn't try and see if I still can race. 2019 getting in shape to try and race a season, Still don't have my ACL fixed but building my legs to stand through the season. You are my inspiration, after watching this. Even though I am 56 now, I may be a bit slower and not having to worry about payout like you do. My goal is a bit different, all I need to do is finish the the full sean and try to finish as close to the front as possible. Like you I wont Give up and I wont give a spot to another rider, He will have to work for it.

[@eatcommies1375]

Big fan here Deano!!! As far as injuries, you can compete with Travis;) Amazing mental strength! Stay safe!

[@Brenkeeno]

All the best for the aus x open this year deano. You got this

Dang bro, that's the best worst story i've every heard... i've had those injuries, and hearing you tell about them made my nuts hurt, but i'm glad you are feeling good, i hope you stay healthy and do great this season....

[@builtfordtough4499]

Thanks for setting the record strait DeanO. It makes you look better in the long run to tell the truth. Your doing a great job with your channel.

[@erinrand9168]

Hang in there Deano! I've been though 4 x ACLs myself and know how much it sucks!

[@chuckcastle7709]

Praying someone picks you up! Great seeing you at Milestone Saturday on the 2 stroke.

Dean after everything you just explained your still smiling and laughing mate your a legend kids should look up to you and take note all the best for this season good luck

[@brianmontana5700]

Really appreciate the behind the scene look at how gnarly Motocross is. You will get a ride w/o a doubt! And we can’t wait to see you on the podium. You’ve always had the speed. Things will go your way.

[@acts_men2192]

Pullin for you Dean! Saw you in Houston 2019 last week and you looked strong man!

[@codygoodwin1097]

Unreal to see everything these guys go through, and this is just the year after he went out on his own full privateer status and all of the injuries and surgeries he had to come back from before that. Keep your head up Deano, pulling for you always and can't wait to see you make another incredible return

[@chadboron4361]

Deano you are one gnarly dude! Good luck in 2019 really hope to see you work your way into a ride! You deserve it!....also thanks for the YouChoob videos keep em coming! Cheers mate

[@MrEtonmess]

To have that all going on must have been so tough mentally on top of the physical pain. MX is a mental game too so to get the results you did was outstanding.

[@approachingfreedom8081]

Good luck this year Dean, glad to have you back

[@justinfee819]

I was hoping KTM would of picked him up but now they have Webb it definitely shows that our sport needs more attention like these main stream sports get these athletes are so dedicated true warriors and the risk factor too I sure hope Dean lands a ride this year he has earned it.

[@jrich8112]

They should of picked Wilson over that arrogant punk webb... when he took out roczen after coming back from that crazy wreck I became a full time Webb hater!!!!

thats not a smart thing to do...dont go under scalpel unless you 100% have to...been there and solved it by regular stretching and “trials” like balance training

Mad respect what's not to like about this dude ...

[@Lucabezas]

Good luck Dean never give up I truly believe you can get a ride and win a championship. See you On the starting gate soon 🤟

[@southbayviral]

Deano, don't feel to bad, I just tore both ACL at Milestone 3 weeks ago, the left has the allograph and it went after 15 years of knee abuse. Thought the Mobius would save me, kept going with the left one jacked and lost the front, stuck my right leg out and the right went POP! No biggie for now as the swelling went down. I know how strong you are. These injuries hold us back in the small corners of the mind. You have to come back mentally without Aldon breaking you down and building you back up. Maybe hit someone up that can remove the injury memory from those corners. It is time to break the pattern, it can be done, Tony Robbins? Once you change your opinion about Dean Wilson and injury the world will follow. On a different note, someone please invent the device that will prevent the torn ACL on a dirt bike, the swivel boot sole? , the airbag foot liner?, the carbon strap system? I wanna ride, but surgery is out of the question right now and the knees are not having moto. Thank you for sharing Dean, I have 100% faith in you. We all grew up riding dirt bikes, winning is 95% mental. Fix the mind as you would fix the body.

[@HandDriven]

If I had a race team I’d hire you in a heart beat because of your heart and will power. What other riders would still pursue such a career after a year of so many life altering injuries?? Class act and one of a kind keep shreddin deano
