Perseverance. And you couldn't get away with saying Ricky James is all heart. Because amid a myriad of accolades, he boasts enormous talent in whatever he takes on. He's a natural. He's Ricky James. Back in 2005, while riding for the notorious Honda of Houston, James was 17 and at the top of his game, quickly becoming the next amateur motocross champion. But during the MX national at Lake Whitney, Texas, James suffered a crash that broke his back and left him paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. That didn't stop him. His career continues, heavily engaged in motorsports as well as endurance sports, mixing up NASCAR with his career strategy in the SuperLite Championship.

And in the world of UTV action, Weller has won numerous victories in desert racing and upon the MX track.
