Jeff Dement Plans Return to Racing
Hello HMX,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am currently preparing for my return to racing. The 2009 AMA SX Championship will be my official return to the sport. I have been recovering from the serious injuries that I suffered last season after getting landed on by another rider. It has forced me to endure the longest recovery period of my entire career. I had CAT scans performed on both my head and spleen last week. The results of each test came back perfect. It is very comforting to see that all of my internal & head injuries are completely healed. I also had thumb surgery on April, 14th. The operation was to repair my damaged tendon and broken ligaments. The procedure was sucessful and my scheduled return to riding is June 15th. I have recently been conducting MX Training sessions with my MX Dement Racing company. We have a very complex program that includes: On-Bike Training / Cardio & Weight Training / Diet & Nutrition Programs / & VO-2 Max Testing. I am currently coaching a great group of both Professional and Amateur riders. I want to sincerely thank everyone on this website for the numerous get well wishes that I recieved after my injuries. I look forward to seeing everyone at the races.

Ciao,
