    I must be becoming a right proper sap. I’m seating here watching and listening to Boothy with a proper lump in my throat and not afraid to say a little tear of pride. Never thought I’d see another video like this from Boothy 12 months ago…and he’s the chillest of the lot.

      Yeah, must admit i got a bit emotional when they gave Booty that award...

      Same .. when he said he wasn't crying at the end I had a lump in my throat this guy is amazing 13months and racing is insane and no matter what words you say I think everyone is very proud of him

    This time last year I was in an induced coma for three week, due to sepsis. I’m now 4 weeks without a walking stick, every day a little better. Boothy gave me the ‘fuck you, I’m not giving up’ attitude to my recovery. Cheers mate, big kiss!

    To complete in a BSB support race is hard enough, but to do it with one leg, a year after such an awful, life changing crash is something else. Well done Boothy. Great video. Oh. Yeah 😊

    “We’ve already had to do some running repairs to the leg to make sure it doesn’t drop off”. Guaranteed never said it a paddock before 😂 big love Boothy

    • @zakelwe
      @zakelwe Год назад

      The use of the word running also made me laugh considering. Glad the adversity has not dulled his sense of fun with life. Boothy was unlucky but also lucky as it turns out. As another bike caused raspberry ripple I take my hat off to him.

  • @michaelrandle4128
    @michaelrandle4128 Год назад +66

    A year off, comes back with a leg missing and still qualifies for the main race, absolutely brilliant young man. Well done.

  • @absinthesugarcube
    @absinthesugarcube Год назад +62

    I was the victim of a smidsy just before your accident. I kept my leg thanks to half a hundred weight of titanium, although some days I
    wish I hadn’t.
    You’ve no idea how important this is for me to see. Thanks mate…. Genuinely! ❤️

  • @2wheelsrbest327

    Boothy warms my damn heart, and at a well needed point in my life. His positivity is contagious! I'm currently dealing with a mangled hand (all 5 metacarpals broken, as well as wrist, and ulna and radius heads). Ripped the cast off and took only 3 days off of work because who else will pay the bills?
    We love you Boothy. ♥

  • @Focused_Veteran
    @Focused_Veteran Год назад +7

    Brings a tear to the eyes watching this, absolutely incredible effort boothy and a great result for your first race back.
    The journey of recovery never runs the path you expect it to, I took me a while to understand that my recovery path was going to be one I had to make, and not some pre designed thing.
    Standby for corners you didn't expect, camber that can both help and hinder and straights that are never really straight, but I can promise you, it'll be worth it in the end.
    All the best bud.

  • @mattsol1138
    @mattsol1138 Год назад +17

    Hard to put into words how incredible this video is really. This channel has become something quite special since discovering it thru covid and admittedly I started mostly watching barons content I quickly realised how brilliant al and boothy are too. How this channel isn't the biggest amongst our community is beyond me. It feels like a family and boothys journey has become one of the most heartfelt things I've seen on RUclips and this comeback makes it all the more sweeter. Congratulations doesn't seem quite enough somehow. I hope you all at the channel realise how much you help others thru times of good and bad. It truly feels like a lil family over here at 44teeth so thank you. And legend gets thrown around far too much these days...but boothy you truly are one

It wouldn't have mattered if you binned it, didn't qualify or f*cked up the race but you nailed the entire weekend beyond what anyone would have expected, well done sir! Can't wait to see your progress over the season as you get more comfortable on the bike. You gotta give Al some credit though for setting the bike up for a "fuller rider" shall we say 😂
