CHAPTER 399 Ft. Jerry Robin
Shownotes
Jerry Robin was paralyzed six days after his first Gypsy Tales episode dropped. One year later, he's back — breaking down the physics of his crash at MetLife Stadium, the moment sensation deleted from his body inch by inch, what it was actually like in rehab, the suicidal thoughts he doesn't hide from, and how two rounds of experimental stem cell treatment are rewriting what doctors said was a complete spinal cord injury.
Jerry Robin is a professional supercross racer and FXR athlete who competed in the 450 SX class. He suffered a complete thoracic spinal cord injury at Supercross in New York in April 2025 and has spent the year since undergoing stem cell treatment, rebuilding his life, and joining FXR full-time in a remote role.
In Chapter 399, Jerry Robin reveals:
- The exact mechanics of his crash — why going straight up instead of forward changed everything
- The moment his body shut down, sensation deleting from his chest to his feet in real time
- Suicidal thoughts in early rehab, and the wife who drove 1 hour 20 minutes to Casa Kalina nearly every day to save his life
- Two rounds of stem cell treatment — what they gave back, including diaphragm function that nearly killed him when a blood clot released during his first meal after surgery
- Why he left rehab early and chose to learn by making real mistakes at home
- Standing 20–30 minutes a day on a Smith machine with eyes closed, visualizing every step of walking
- Adler Caudle, Road 2 Recovery, and the people who showed up when it counted
- His new remote role at FXR managing amateur teams and accounts
- The privateer debate — Josh Greco spent $60K in entry fees to make 3 mains, and what that tells you about the sport
- 450 Supercross Championship predictions — Lawrence, Hunter, or Eli?
