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.
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.
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.
"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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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💟
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 😃
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!
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.
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!
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! 🤘
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.
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!
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.
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
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 👍
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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 💪🇨🇷
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!
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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 !
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.
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
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.
Dude, what an unlucky season! But hey, we have to learn from every mistake we make, so at least you unterstood why you crashed, that's good! Now be strong, we'll give you our strength to make your foot recover as fast as possible and to see you racing on your bike again, forza Naska!
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 😂
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!
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.
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.
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.
I know you are not making motorcycle videos, but let this channel be as is. P.S I have learned so much from you, this can be your secondary channel to make educational videos / pod casts related to motorcycle. You have a knack for explaining stuff I am sure people subscribed to your channel will be delighted to see you back even if you are not keen on racing motorcycles.
I have only had the rear break loose in much slower corners, and I still only catch myself from shutting the throttle at the point I have already closed it halfway. Shutting the throttle is so instinctive, it's hard to stop yourself. Good luck on the recovery, and be careful with the opioids!
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
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 !!!!
Wow! That ankle break was hardcore man. Hope you have a speedy recovery!! I guess I'll tell my story. I'm currently recovering from an accident on 7/13/20, an 83 yr old lady came from a side street on the right and didn't stop appropriately at the stop sign and floored her car across the main road I s traveling North on and smashed into me. I was doing the speed limit, approx 40mph on my 2019 Ninja 650. My bike was totalled. I can't believe the force and how fast my body flew off the bike. I flipped like a rag doll and went over the front of her car and landed on the road. I had on full gear but still I broke my right clavicle and my right shoulder has a SLAP Tear. I fractured my femur head (greater trocantur) and broke the tibial plateau. I had a complete knee dislocation and had reconstructive knee surgery, the surgeon had to put 2 screws in my knee. When the massive trauma to the left leg happened, the ligaments & tendons blew apart basically and tore a piece of bone from the knee, they found the bone 4 inches up my leg, so that got repaired thankfully. I don't think my left knee and right shoulder will ever be the same. I do PT twice a week, they come to my home. I can't drive yet. Modern medicine and these surgeons are God sends. Unfortunately, in America, our health care is NOT free! I just can't believe how well these surgeons can put the body back together. My surgeon is fantastic!! The pain horrible though 😫
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.
External fixator is the word you are looking for regarding the apparatus they used to hold your ankle together. So sorry for your accident. Glad you are on the mend. Stay safe and strong!
Man have a great recovery. Get well back soon. You need time, but after that you'll come much stronger and faster. Hope you doing mentally alright brother.
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
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 !
I'm gutted....... I've loved and learned a lot from watching your channel. Not that it will help you fix any faster, but I highsided (on the slowest corner) on track and broke, my clavicle, my shoulder blade, both wrists, dislocated my leg, snapped my acetabulum and my broke my pelvis. It was hard work, but within 6 months my friends wheeled me to my bike, lifted me on and I rode a trackday. Get well soon my friend and if you are stuck for content, how about I come over and you teach me how to go faster!
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.
Sorry to see you like this get well soon. I had a similar accident and now hove two screws in my left ankle. My fracture was not as bad as yours. Take care bud.
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.♥️
the rule number one of the Twist of the Wrist still holds in your case. it sounds simple but it may be very hard to apply every time in real situations. sometime we are under pressure to win or just some ego goes ahead and bypasses the rule. Thank you for sharing and wish you best luck to recover. I believe you can do lots of things during the recovery! Thank you again.
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 :)
Thanks for all the videos of your journey. I'll miss them if you don't find a way to continue. I lowsided at 100 MPH last month at a track day and walked away. I"m 67 years old. Luck is funny. Some days you have it. Some days you don't. Either way, we go on... Looking forward to you back in the pits with your friends. Godspeed. Mike from Boston, USA
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!
Thank you for sharing and you have a lot to offer other riders and an insight to a racers world. My friend just suffered a severe crash in SBK MotoAmerica Series, Bradley Ward. He is going thru your struggles at this time. We are raising money for specialists to get Bradley his surgery he needs. I am 51yo and currently plan on racing and hold my race license here in California. The way you deliver your message is amazing. Your viewers, I am sure, appreciate your perspective and the delivery of your message and is presented with great detail and understandable verbage, I sure do and cant find the right words to describe how you come across to the viewers, Welcoming, Honest, Sincere, and with good character and practicality. Its all much appreciated, and I thank you for your time put into your videos. A+++ If you ever come to America and need a place to ride and stay, hit me up. I have transporters, trucks and a fleet of bikes. I will make you feel at home.... :)
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.
It is good to hear that you are doing well Alberto. Make certain that you are doing movement therapy on the foot and ankle as the doctor says, no matter how much it hurts so you can get back on the track next season. We all look forward to your continued video content while healing. All the best to you Alberto.
I feel your pain. Rehab from one of my elbow surgeries wast one of the most grueling thing I have experienced. My only advice is to push through as much pain as you can handle so you can get as much range of motion back as possible. If you don't push through the pain you can lose quite a bit of motion. Good luck on your recovery! (I know it's been months but yea, still!)
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!
we are with you man. take it easy and patiently. don't rush if it's a bad injury. the better you heal it, the better it will be for you to race lightminded. also when you will get older. a badly repaire fracture can be really painful with age. not cool.
Do your best for getting well as soon as possible! Just be confident that you will overcome this situation and will ride again! No pain no gain! Greets from Peru!
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.
You could do product reviews "motorcycle stuff" until you get back on the bike.
Jonathan Hager
Nice idea.
Unlucky. It's bound to happen in motorsports. Get better soon hope you get better
The moment he tried to stand up though... gives me goose bumps!
The pause right before the high side, that was what made me sweat, and the moment it happened
OUCH
It's true what people say, every sport has it's own injuries.
Wise words👏
Hurt my hand with chess.
steveman1982 hope it gets better soon bud 😂
Scrabble has been tough. I marked my hand with the pen when writing down the score.
hurt my hand while playing fortnite.
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.
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.
That's sad to hear, that a common injury could financially crippled somebody.
I the us there 500k a year bankrupting for normal medical bills
"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.
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!

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

Hey Naska,
Hopefully the tiramisu helped to numb your pain!😉
Best wishes for your recovery from Germany. Get well soon 👍
Your ability to articulate the physics of the bike is amazing. Here’s to a quick recovery!
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.

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

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.
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
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 💪🇨🇷
The most important thing is that the Demolition Company still has its key member. I'm happy you're still alive.
Wishing you a good recovery mate!!
great video btw! Made me laugh a bit sometimes (with the hospital explanation)!
Gute Besserung
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!
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Wishing you a speedy recovery Naska.
All sports have their own specific injuries. But I think yours is a rare one.
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
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!
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 !
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.
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
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.
Dude, what an unlucky season! But hey, we have to learn from every mistake we make, so at least you unterstood why you crashed, that's good! Now be strong, we'll give you our strength to make your foot recover as fast as possible and to see you racing on your bike again, forza Naska!
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 😂
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!
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.
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.
Never stop fighting Naska. You will get better soon !
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.
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.
I know you are not making motorcycle videos, but let this channel be as is.
P.S I have learned so much from you, this can be your secondary channel to make educational videos / pod casts related to motorcycle. You have a knack for explaining stuff I am sure people subscribed to your channel will be delighted to see you back even if you are not keen on racing motorcycles.
Be strong naska. even though you smile the pain would be very bad. Be positive and be strong.
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
I have only had the rear break loose in much slower corners, and I still only catch myself from shutting the throttle at the point I have already closed it halfway. Shutting the throttle is so instinctive, it's hard to stop yourself.
Good luck on the recovery, and be careful with the opioids!
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
We are with you! Greetings from Hungary!
Get well soon man.
I broke it once. I know the pain.
I wish you luck. I hope you'll keep on chasing your dreams ♥️🍀
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 !!!!
Wow! That ankle break was hardcore man. Hope you have a speedy recovery!!
I guess I'll tell my story. I'm currently recovering from an accident on 7/13/20, an 83 yr old lady came from a side street on the right and didn't stop appropriately at the stop sign and floored her car across the main road I s traveling North on and smashed into me. I was doing the speed limit, approx 40mph on my 2019 Ninja 650. My bike was totalled. I can't believe the force and how fast my body flew off the bike. I flipped like a rag doll and went over the front of her car and landed on the road.
I had on full gear but still I broke my right clavicle and my right shoulder has a SLAP Tear. I fractured my femur head (greater trocantur) and broke the tibial plateau. I had a complete knee dislocation and had reconstructive knee surgery, the surgeon had to put 2 screws in my knee. When the massive trauma to the left leg happened, the ligaments & tendons blew apart basically and tore a piece of bone from the knee, they found the bone 4 inches up my leg, so that got repaired thankfully. I don't think my left knee and right shoulder will ever be the same. I do PT twice a week, they come to my home. I can't drive yet.
Modern medicine and these surgeons are God sends. Unfortunately, in America, our health care is NOT free!
I just can't believe how well these surgeons can put the body back together. My surgeon is fantastic!!
The pain horrible though 😫
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.
External fixator is the word you are looking for regarding the apparatus they used to hold your ankle together. So sorry for your accident. Glad you are on the mend. Stay safe and strong!
Man have a great recovery. Get well back soon. You need time, but after that you'll come much stronger and faster. Hope you doing mentally alright brother.
I'm glad nothing more serious happened. Take your time to recover and come back stronger next year. All the best!
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
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 !
I'm gutted....... I've loved and learned a lot from watching your channel. Not that it will help you fix any faster, but I highsided (on the slowest corner) on track and broke, my clavicle, my shoulder blade, both wrists, dislocated my leg, snapped my acetabulum and my broke my pelvis. It was hard work, but within 6 months my friends wheeled me to my bike, lifted me on and I rode a trackday.
Get well soon my friend and if you are stuck for content, how about I come over and you teach me how to go faster!
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.
Sorry to see you like this get well soon. I had a similar accident and now hove two screws in my left ankle. My fracture was not as bad as yours. Take care bud.
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.♥️
You are a strong and smart guy, you will overcome all that. Good luck, we believe in you 💪🏆
the rule number one of the Twist of the Wrist still holds in your case. it sounds simple but it may be very hard to apply every time in real situations. sometime we are under pressure to win or just some ego goes ahead and bypasses the rule. Thank you for sharing and wish you best luck to recover. I believe you can do lots of things during the recovery! Thank you again.
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 :)
Love from Belgium, mate. Never back down!
Thanks for all the videos of your journey. I'll miss them if you don't find a way to continue. I lowsided at 100 MPH last month at a track day and walked away. I"m 67 years old. Luck is funny. Some days you have it. Some days you don't. Either way, we go on... Looking forward to you back in the pits with your friends. Godspeed. Mike from Boston, USA
Feeling solidarity with you. Broke my fibula after a highside at my first trackday a couple months back. Prayers for a speedy recovery.
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!
Thank you for sharing and you have a lot to offer other riders and an insight to a racers world. My friend just suffered a severe crash in SBK MotoAmerica Series, Bradley Ward. He is going thru your struggles at this time. We are raising money for specialists to get Bradley his surgery he needs. I am 51yo and currently plan on racing and hold my race license here in California. The way you deliver your message is amazing. Your viewers, I am sure, appreciate your perspective and the delivery of your message and is presented with great detail and understandable verbage, I sure do and cant find the right words to describe how you come across to the viewers, Welcoming, Honest, Sincere, and with good character and practicality. Its all much appreciated, and I thank you for your time put into your videos. A+++ If you ever come to America and need a place to ride and stay, hit me up. I have transporters, trucks and a fleet of bikes. I will make you feel at home.... :)
Thanks for the great honest assessment of what happened....anyone who watches this should learn from it. Hope you are OK.
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.
Never give up, I wish you a speedy recovery. please get back soon
It is good to hear that you are doing well Alberto. Make certain that you are doing movement therapy on the foot and ankle as the doctor says, no matter how much it hurts so you can get back on the track next season. We all look forward to your continued video content while healing. All the best to you Alberto.
I feel your pain. Rehab from one of my elbow surgeries wast one of the most grueling thing I have experienced. My only advice is to push through as much pain as you can handle so you can get as much range of motion back as possible. If you don't push through the pain you can lose quite a bit of motion. Good luck on your recovery! (I know it's been months but yea, still!)
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!
we are with you man. take it easy and patiently. don't rush if it's a bad injury. the better you heal it, the better it will be for you to race lightminded. also when you will get older. a badly repaire fracture can be really painful with age. not cool.
I love that you always try to break down the science of everything that goes wrong! Get better and come back strong!
Do your best for getting well as soon as possible! Just be confident that you will overcome this situation and will ride again! No pain no gain! Greets from Peru!
Fast recovery and grazie a dio for beeing able to recover fully
