Supercross legend earns bronze in Winter X Games Adaptive SnoCross

Yamaha motocross, Supercross and Supermoto legend Doug Henry added another chapter to his amazing career with a Bronze medal in the inaugural Adaptive SnoCross event at the 14th Winter X Games in Aspen, Colo. on Sunday, Jan. 31. Driving a modified Yamaha FX Nytro snowmobile, Henry was the only paraplegic athlete in the six-rider field but flew through the six-lap main event within striking range of a Silver medal before finally settling for Bronze. Yet Henry has every reason to be satisfied, because he now adds the Winter X Games medal to the Gold and Bronze medals he previously earned in Supermoto competition at the Summer X Games.

Yeah that was cool. What a hero Doug is......

I'll bet he's at the Summer X Games in the Adaptive MotoX, my son is going to have his hands full but at the same time he gets to race with "Doug Henry" pretty cool.
