CHAPTER 359 Ft. Jimmy Button

Jimmy Button joins us for Chapter 359! Jimmy's racing career took place in the golden era of the sport, lining up against the very best in supercross throughout the 90's, battling for podiums and race wins. His career came to a screeching halt in 2000 after a crash in the whoops left him temporarily paralyzed from the neck down, and his journey to getting back on his feet was long and far from comfortable. Because of Jimmy’s broad understanding of what it takes to make it in this sport, what it feels like to compete at the top, and how quickly your world can fall apart when injuries hit, he started Road 2 Recovery—a foundation that helps injured action sports athletes after life-changing crashes. Not many people have seen both sides of the sport like Jimmy Button, and that’s what makes his story so unique. This is three and a half hours with Jimmy Button.
