Take a look at the 125 dream race Ryan Hughes was competing in when he broke his neck and the days that followed as the former GP and AMA racer winner vowed to not race again.
Hughes raced the 2021 125 Dream Race in Washougal Washington and disaster struck. “Ryno” Ryan Hughes broke his neck when a bad line choice leads to him hitting a hay-bale and the motorcycle lands on his head.
The 125 Dream Race is a 2-Stoke only race celebrating the awesome sounds and smells of 2 stroke motocross. Hughes practices on 4 different Honda machines (‘79 CR125, ‘96 CR125, ‘04 CR125, ‘86 CR250) choosing to race two classes, 40+ 125 & 125 Nostalgia “Marty Smith” on the 2004 & 1979 CR125R.
