Ernesto Fonseca suffered a career-ending injury three years ago when he crashed on his factory Honda. Though he’s in a wheelchair, Ernie still has that infectious smile and great attitude. TWMX dropped in on our friend at his Murrieta, California, home to catch up on everything from his current therapy program and his sweet Speedos, to his job at Answer Racing and the cool new Ernesto Fonseca edition Oakley sunglasses. It’s a long video, but it’s worth watching: Ernesto is as inspiring as ever. Thanks for the time, Ernie!
This is the Ernesto Fonseca signature series sunglass from Oakley. Pretty bad ass, right? CLICK HERE to learn more…

Everybody order a pair of Ernie's shades - very cool and hopefully help and support him in the process. I sat at the table next to him at a Ruth's Chris steak house in Indianapolis the week before he crashed. Very nice guy and it even freaked me out a little when it all went down. I know it is a dangerous sport and we all love it, but it happened to a hell of a guy and that sucks that much more. Good luck Ernie in whetever your future holds - you'll always be in our thoughts!

Ernesto Fonseca is the man!!

I was pretty disgusted and pretty mad when he made that jump jeopardizing sever injury to the rider in front of him in his first season as a pro (125s, the other rider was Kelly Smith). There really wasn't any room, but he went for it anyway.
That's all I'm saying.

I remember racing EF in the super mini class at the GNC finals at Lake Whitney, and he smoked me..I will never forget watching him ride
November 6th, 2009 at 5:48 am
Hey Jordi… get your F@*&% story straight… go back and watch the video again. Kelly Smith knew he had no chance against Ernesto Fonseca and decided to cut in his line when Ernesto was already committed to do the triple. What a cheap move… trying to win a race by blocking the line of Ernesto… You don't win races like that… you win races out of pure speed and talent not by giving cheap shots….

Why is Ernie working for Answer? He rode for Fox didn't he?
Ernie, go back to Fox, you're to good for Answer.

I was so pumped back in 02 when Ernie joined team Honda, tearing it up on CR125's and CR250's! Iv'e been a Fonseca fan ever since. Man I wish him the best of luck! You're awesome Ernie!
