With the X Games right around the corner, former Adaptive MotoX gold medalist Ricky James has begun to tune up on his dirt bike skills. With two classes in this year’s Adaptive MotoX - Paraplegic and Amputee - James is excited about his chances of returning to the top step of the podium aboard his Forgiven Energy/3 Bros KTM/Shift Racing/Shoei/Colours/Alpinestars/Spinergy/FMF Racing/Leatt/Oakley/SoCal Supertrucks-backed KTM 450SX-F.

hey Swap, please delete ben451's comment. cause thats not cool for Ricky or other parapoligic riders to come on here and read a bonehead comment like that from an attention whore. so please, do us a favor and please delete that ignorant immature comment. thank you, O wise one of the moto mag..
Why stand up? Thats too much work. Donn, i love it.. Hall of Famer. Haha.
Typical comments from TWMX readers.
He May Be Paralized But He Damn Sure Hauls Ass Faster Than Us lot For Sure
not trying to be rude or funny, but does he have to shift and brake with hand controls???
yeah thats like the second thing that i think about while watching this, the first thing is that this dude is badass dirtbiker
damm gotta respect this kidd imagine how hard it is to be sittin down in all corners and still i think he could smoke a lot of novice riders ot there haha and also the system he has on his bikie looks more confy than the one he had before in 07 haha good luck ricky
thats great! bring a tear to my eye, we dont realize how good we have it.
I remember the day you got hurt Ricky, as much as it changed your life, it changed the outlook on mine. You have so much heart, if I could only be half the man you are I would be happy. Keep up the good work man, we're rootin for you big time!
amazing vid .. that man is a stud! continues to always impress .
Cool interview, but can you post a video of Ricky riding? All I saw was some dude hauling butt faster than any paraplegic should go.
i remember watching ricky tear it up as an amateur, he's an amazing rider and an amazing guy with alot of heart, my hero!
does anyone else have a boner right now?
Ricky James very sorry for the comment! went a little to far with that! sorry swap and everyone else that was upset by that!

ben451, I've seen a lot of dumb comments on our web site, but yours is a hall of famer. Ricky James is paralyzed from the waist down. That's why he has that kart seat and roll cages on his bike…
I am paralyzed from the chest down and just rode for the first time in 3 years thanks to Jesse Gildea. I'll be rootin for hime at the X games. Check out my ride at our track at DCMXtracks"s youtube channel. It was an awesome expirience.
maybe took it one step to fare!
ben451 is the man!
