Chris Cooksey’s journey from a promising amateur motocross racer to a respected, self-made journalist and media personality embodies resilience, reinvention, and raw honesty. At just 16, Chris suffered a devastating injury that ended his professional racing aspirations. The trauma of losing his identity as a rising racer led to significant emotional challenges, including resentment, reckless behavior, and long-term tension with his father. Despite the darkness, his passion for two wheels—whether on dirt or the street—became a therapeutic force, helping him reconnect with his sense of purpose and revive his drive.
