First met Ben in 2006 when rehabing knee down by Charmichaels house. Good Kid.
You would have to wonder what if not hurt ! .............A lot of set backs......... Good luck on your rehab, Real Champ in my book.

BT101's story is classic: an athlete who's been at the top, get's injured, hopes dashed, written off by some of the media, has another setback and then seems even further from ever making it back to P1. The next chapter could be a great one for Townley. It's the last act in any great movie where the Hero triumph's over incredible odds, defies logic, and proves everyone wrong. Looking forward to seeing you back on top of the Box, Ben.

Best part of the video is you spending time with your kids. Be a great dad above all else. The riding will be short lived but your kids will be around after racing. You have a new fan.

Every time Ben gets injured I think to myself ''will this be the last injury?''. But this time I genuinely think it will be his last injury.

No shit....sweet edit. World full of tragic and unfair stories, time to buck up and get on with it. I would take 100 BT101's at least he pushes it to the limit to win, instead of 2/3 of the field of guys that are happy to get lapped only once making the sport boring and weak. Would have been a great season for him with all the injuries over here.

Great video and edit, BT101 is a fighter and a hero, I can't wait to see his comeback to moto. He has a wonderful little family and the best practice track that I have ever seen!

What a champ. Being from Australia I have always followed Reed despite the fact that sometimes he appears smug and arrogant (like most professional athlete's). But what a nice guy. Family is priority then his racing. He works hard for his goals. I knew Townley's backstory being a AMA lites east & MX2 champion, but didnt know much more about him. Just gained a big fan.!
