People put a lot of shit on jerma for not ever moving up to 450 but they guy is just small AS . This kids deserves so much respect 2 outdoor titles against some of the baddest names in the sport those were other young prodigy titles that he took from them, heart of a lion and the lungs of a whale this guys says oh I can’t destroy my body rippin up the Moto track I’m just gunna jump on a world class professional mountain bike circuit and show up first try gets 6th in the world dude is beassst I bet he will kill triathlons and don’t forget eli tomac said only one guy has out mountain bike me in training and that’s jerma, enjoy your retirement man you deserve it don’t take no shit from PHIL
It’s too many hits to the head, take the time away from it and come back in a different capacity. Not everyone gets the end they want, I think he really misses being the best at something, and winning, especially at the highest level.
Met him a few times at state fair while he was on star. We were just expecting a picture with him but we actually hung out at his camp for 20 minutes talking. Definitely an American with good values
@FoursquareT i was lucky enough to race millville my whole life coolest thing during the covid year smart and a mart were racing the local races ripped a hole shot in front of those 2 in n class while they were staging for a he's such a nice guy he found me and complimented my hole shit just the nicest guy ever
I had a "spinal specialist" tell me if I took one more hit to my back it would severe my spinal cord. My wife freaked out and made me sell the dirt bike. That was about 20 yrs. ago. In 2008 got layed off from my job and lost my health insurance. I needed a cortizone shot in my back and paid cash to see a different " specialist". He told me that other doctor was a "quack" and that I could still ride dirt bikes if I wanted. Been riding ever since and yah...have taken multiple hard hits to my back . 67 now and still riding.
I'm surprised he did as well as he did at Leadville. Elevation is as killer. I lived in Leadville for 3 years and it was tough for the locales. When I dropped down to 6-8000 feet the difference was very noticeable. Dropping down to near sea level I found my self not breathing as often....just didn't need to....
I'm on the Western Slope, but My wife and I stayed in Leadville for the summer while I was working in Frisco. We stayed at those apartments they moved from the old mine just down from the Safeway. Track is fun, and the owners were super chill. The cold gets me before the altitude, moto injuries, but that place is beautiful
One of the toughest guys of the sport….Give it away, for your own health CTE is a thing.Maybe the bad exit from Club is one of symptoms he should be made fully aware of.
Yeah, give him a job behind the scenes. That would be a good thing, but don’t put them on a bike again. His best days are behind him unfortunately and I like the guy a lot but reality has to kick in sometime.
I started racing motocross after a bad work van auto accident made me step away from racing a 750 superbike...i figured motocross was always more important...an the slower speeds i ended up healing an getting stronger...faught thru...strength an endurance that never came back...motocross at the pro level has a abuse level ...if ur fitness isnt top shelf ur recover to push each week...road racing i was afraid my neck injury would hinder my arms timing to turn an react....if ur foggy from a shot to the head that another issue...u make ur own call ultimately u know where ur at....limit
Hang it up brutha. You cant take another concussion. Just not worth the rest of your life. You had a sick run with big bro,and both are moto legends. Nothing left to prove. Respect! Chin up Jmart. You'll land on your feet within the sport.You've got a lot to offer still.
To bad he crashed so much and he didn't stay safe.i think these guys that crashed alot are over riding the bikes and didn't know how to back it down a notch.he does have incredible speed and always had it
@@jakekooyenga550 ok in the 250 class wow woohoo throw m onna 450 he would get chewed up and spit out like his brother did... And nope i dont ride at all good try tho cool guy

Love jmart he's such a nice guy if u ever get the chance to meet him definitely don't pass it up

The martin brothers are so small I really believe the 450 was too much for them, but some of the better 250 riders of my generation

Mitch Payton better call him

Jmart one of the best riders imo he just sent it

Is there anywhere to watch his championship yrs outdoors not on you tube

When is the last time he raced a full season? JMART, screw Moto your well being is more important.
not worth the risk and loosing all quality of life and getting lost in a confusing world of neurodegeneration in the late years
Retire from Moto. Stick with mtb and start a business.
Star call him
He left star cause he didn’t like the pressure to win
Your old
Go back to sales in Minnesota
Just another pro bro that's going to be at Loretta s in 3 years once the pro card drops .... gotta be a x pro 25 or 30 plus class
Can only ride the 250 class for so long 🤣💀🤣 u or ur brother cant hang on the 450 🤷🏻♂️🥳
Bro you’re hating on a dude who beat AC, cooper Webb, musquin, Anderson and baggett outdoors. I’m sure you’re a local C class hero tho right.
@@jakekooyenga550 ok in the 250 class wow woohoo throw m onna 450 he would get chewed up and spit out like his brother did... And nope i dont ride at all good try tho cool guy
