F
ormer factory Yamaha rider Damon Bradshaw
competed in his first GNCC at last week's
round in Morganton, North Carolina (Bradshaw's
home state). And it appears that's he'll be suiting
up for this weekend's race in Society Hill, South
Carolina. Bradshaw rode a GasGas in the Sports-
man A class, but had to make an "unexpected pit
stop" that slowed his progress.
He posted on social media, "Ran my first
GNCC on the 2017 GasGas Motos last week-
end. Had to make an unexpected pit stop that
docked me 30 minutes, but got back on the
track and still managed to get 5 laps in. Still
polishing the suspension, but it was great for
testing. I learned a lot and will be ready for the
CST Tires Camp Coker Bullet GNCC at Society
Hill next weekend!" CN

O
n August 13, 2016, 22-year-old Jessy Nelson suffered a devastating crash, clipping a track marker
at the Unadilla round of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Nationals. His bike hit him from behind,
breaking his T4 and T5 vertebrae and stretching his spinal cord, resulting in paralysis. As a talented
athlete, Jessy is no stranger to welcoming a challenge, pushing himself to grow and stay positive. Since
the accident, he's been working hard—proving he's dedicated to progress and not willing to give up
anytime soon.
Nelson's story resonates with so many, particularly with those aware of and involved with the Wings
For Life World Run. As the world's only global simultaneous running and wheelchair race (May 7, 2017),
Wings For Life World Run raises funds and awareness for
spinal cord injury research and cure. Nelson has joined
up as an ambassador and inspiring participant, helping to
throw a spotlight on the importance of unity and strength
in sports and in life. Holding his own Wings For Life Run,
via the Organized App Run, in Southern California, Nel-
son will be joining hundreds of thousands on May 7 in the
U.S. and worldwide, to run for those who can't.
To participate in the Southern California location,
whether in a team or as an individual, in Santa Clarita,
California, on May 7, at 4:00 a.m., click here. CN
Jessy Nelson will be a ambassador for the Wings For
