Davi Milsaps has had a WILD life – Amateur star to Supercross Champion to beating suicidal thoughts!



Davi Milsaps had a rollercoaster of a career. He was an amateur super star, a Supercross champion and ultimately suffered a career ending crash that left him with a brain injury that made him suicidal.

  1. I 1000 percent agree with Davi, I've never enjoyed being "high" either. And coming from a tbi as well I can relate to a lot of his symptoms. Excellent interview, Davi is way open I really enjoyed the conversation. I saw him walking in the pits at a worcs race a few years back and should have said hello, good dude! Thanks Jace and Davi

  3. Hey Davi go see a good chiropractor. Get on a good initial regimen with him. Then taper off to where you can go see him once a month to keep everything lined up. 👍
    I fractured my L5 and herniated the disk above and below that vertebra coming up about a foot short on a seat hop 50' double. Paralyzed my leg from the knee down. Literally couldn't move my toes or move my foot at the ankle, and my leg felt "dead" to the touch from the knee down. I didn't have insurance at the time so i went to a chiropractor. That man saved my life. It was a commitment and i went through some pretty painful adjustments but i can't say enough about what it did.
    Give it a shot. 👍

  4. First of all, amazing interview and Davi’s a fascinating dude and I dig how he communicates. Secondly, Davi is right about the 2 grams of psilocybin. 2 grams can certainly be basically a full blown trip for many people. I know from experience. Tripped quite hard off half an eighth which is less than 2g.

  5. Bro I had no idea you and Wes Williams were boys. I got lost in addiction after a surgery for 10 years and ended up in prison now coming up on 9 years since putting that needle in my arm. But grew up riding behind my house on a dirt road that parallel my neighborhood and built a track called “A” track lol. Back in the high school days

  6. “I get the addiction” as two naive people talk about opiate addiction. It’s always this type that have never been in it that think it’s so simple to just not do it and compare it to riding a bike or weed. Some people are just genetically predisposed to being an addict and if they get started no matter how bad they want to stop they just can’t while some people just refuse to start. Getting started by a doctors prescription is the age old story, many don’t choose it and realize it once it’s too late

  7. Mini Warriors 4 was the shit! What a great interview. I've noticed that if you're microdosing psylocybin whilst taking Lion's Mane it has a much wavier effect! Be careful with that
