This dude is a tough mofo as are most all of the guys who race Motocross. It's a daredevil sport in which you must be in top physical condition to compete. The top motocross athletes rank among the most fit athletes in the world no matter what sport you compare to. Motocross is my favorite sport in the world! That crash video tore me up. I hate seeing things like that happen. Good thing he's alive to tell the tale. Mike Alessi is an instant icon in the sport now. All you have to do is cheat death on video and you will live on forever.
