INJURY UPDATE – Jo Shimoda

DateThursday, December 4, 2025 at 7:55PM

 

 

Jo Shimoda suffered two fractured and displaced vertebrae after a training crash last week at The Dog Pound facility in Florida. The 250 SMX champ underwent successful surgery the following day at Tampa General Hospital.

The positive news: Shimoda has full movement and feeling, with no spinal cord damage.
He’s looking at an estimated three-month recovery, which means he’ll likely miss the start of the 2026 Monster Energy Supercross season.

Shimoda says he’s already focused on rehab and is thankful for all the support coming his way.
