POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Two years ago today, I made the move to the United States to live here full-time and chase my dream🇺🇸

But honestly, I don’t feel like I’m chasing the dream anymore, I’m living it.

I still have a long way to go to reach my goals, but looking back I’ve come a long way too.

For most of my life I’ve had this feeling that I wasn’t home, that I was supposed to be somewhere else. Now, I finally feel like I’ve found home and this is where I want to stay for the rest of my life.

I’ll keep working to reach my goals. I’ll keep working to build my life here and I’ll keep doing everything I can to live this dream❤️🇺🇸

@mostatemx at Nebo Hill this past weekend. I’m trying to keep it fun and remember that’s why I love motocross. I still have a lot of work to do after taking a few months off from any regular riding/racing but I’m here for it. Thank you to @functional_fitness_topeka for the support along the way as well as everyone else in my corner.

Im gonna try not to be emo here. Wish me luck.

A couple weeks back I went to my brother & sister in laws to do some photos in their home. We had scheduled them a month prior, giving a week buffer between photos and brain tumor removal surgery. I'm not sharing the full story here, it's not mine to tell.

Jeff's idea for the photos were to document them as they were then, because one of the effects of said tumor removal also meant the likelihood of losing certain motor controls, including the side of his face and walking.

To make things worse, Jeffie here was working over the road and had been lifeflighted after a head on collision from a swerving wrong way vehicle on the interstate. Aside from nearly bleeding out on the scene from an arm injury, he was "fine." But then the surgery was coming and all the what ifs between the wreck at the tumor. It was a lot.

A lot for him. A lot for his beautiful wife Aubree.

But they're getting through it - we all are, thankfully. Jeff's surgery was successful-- but recovery hasn't been smooth, easy or close to linear with some hiccups. Again, his story.

I just want to say how thankful I am that this little shit (he may be pushing four-oh, be taller and have 30+ lbs on me, but he's still my baby brother) is still kicking, that Aubree is the best wife and sister in law to care for him, and that there's a lot more photos to take in the future.

And now my crotchety, cranky eldest daughter ass is crying but I'm blaming it on the menopause hormones.

Anyway, much love to @rippinruts & @aubrinatheteenagewitch thanks for being my muses from time to time and loving each other and our families so well. It's the best gifts you could ever give us.

CCAYN.

I drove 1hr36 minutes to see @ddrakes175 to take this picture and then left. Wasn’t even sure what event he was at but I didn’t care.

This episode hits a little different.

Jeff Crutcher is back on Behind The Gate—and this time it’s not about racing results or bikes. It’s about perspective.

Jeff opens up about his recent health battle, what he’s learned through it, and why his message now is simple:
Be kind.

We talk about life, community, slowing down enough to appreciate people, and how motocross families show up when it matters most.

One of the more honest conversations we’ve had on BTG.

Sometimes the best episodes aren’t just about racing. Tune in here after 6pm Wednesday May 13:
