  • Watch: Benny Bloss Explains Bad Arm Break, Compartment Syndrome and Medicine Addiction Process
Anaheim, CA Anaheim 1 (A1)Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship

Nine surgeries in 22 days and up to 16 different medicines a day for almost three weeks while in the hospital.

After a crash that resulted in a broken collarbone and a bad break in his left arm, Benny Bloss dealt with compartment syndrome and the pain medicine addiction process. Still, he pushed through. Now, he is ramping up for the 2025 SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX).

“I went through absolute hell during like a three to four week stretch in the hospital but other than that it’s been pretty good coming back from it.”

Now Benny is considering getting a tattoo on the huge scar left in his arm. He laughed and followed with: “Go through the pain, at least you get something cool out of it!”

Stay tuned to Racer X Online for more interview clips.
