David Knight made his comeback from injury at the X Games in Los Angeles at the weekend.
He came sixth in the endurocross race.
The four-time world champion had been plagued by a wrist injury which kept him out for six weeks.
Tweeting last night Knighter said, "Happy enough, 6th, not strong enough as first race back and not enough training to compete with these boys but loved it. #future"
