Going too far … ?

Drew Benzanson was seriously injured in a car crash last Fall. I don't recall anything about insurance, but he has posted on Red Bull's positive support, and stated they pay his full salary while he recovers.

Not exactly on-point, but maybe parallel?

Possibly, but salary isn’t insurance. FWIW, if medical benefits are not in their contract, it is a non issue because it is what they agreed to

Maybe Redbull pays for some or all of it or they use their contract money to purchase their own but I would imagine these athletes have some kind of medical coverage. For as many injuries as they sustain, most would go bankrupt pretty quick without it.

Seriously, can you imagine sending it 30' high on a 20" bike!?!? Last time I sat on an old school BMX it felt like a toy.

Riding a new school 20" strains a lot of muscles you never even load riding MTB's.

I watched Mat at the '86 AFA competition at MSG. He was like ~14yo at his first Comp, sailing way higher than even the Pro's.

Sick.
