Jerry Robin, a longtime privateer favorite in the motocross community, recently sat down to share the harsh reality of his life after his devastating crash at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ left him paralyzed. Robin revealed that while he’s grateful to be alive, the road ahead is filled with uncertainty, expensive rehab, and the emotional toll of being sidelined from the sport he dedicated his life to.
He admitted that it’s been difficult watching races from the sidelines, feeling forgotten by the very industry he gave everything to. Despite fans rallying behind him, Robin expressed frustration over the lack of communication and support from the promoters and series he once raced for. His wife, Jen, added that most of the financial burden now falls on them directly, with little long-term help being offered.
Even through the struggles, Robin remains positive about the future and is focusing on regaining independence in his daily life. He made it clear that while his racing days are over, he still wants to be involved in the sport in some way, using his story to inspire and remind the motocross world of the risks riders take every time they line up on the gate.
