Well I have a little to share about crashes...

I rode trails with some cool jumps from about 13 to 16 on a CR 80 then xr 100.

Well I had two "big" crashes....

Kinda funny though:

1. Riding on some new / dirt with my trusty dog....(best dog I ever had)...She would run with me as much as she could and never quit !! I would leave her waaayyyyyyy behind...then if I stopped...here she came with her tongue out...lol...she would never quit !!

Anyway, riding on new/loose dirt on a construction site a tall level being built in dirt....I turned the front wheel slightly and my dog....get her name "buddy but" (vowels pronounced like in the word "could")...and buddy but thought I was turning to go down the levee....however I didn't...she hit the front wheel and made me fall I recall I was in 3rd gear...Att that time I had an open face helmet and literally "ate dirt" !!! My friend on a YZ 80 pulled up laughing his ass off at me asking if I was OK...

No serious injuries...

2. Get this...
I was riding along a bayou and road...with several jumps over about a 2 mile stretch...
Well the biggest jump on the trail....probably fly 25 feet in the air if hit pretty hard....was booby trapped !!!!

It was in the country, and the homeowner across the road (from the jump) was burning a pile of trash on top of the hill....lo and behold a "looped" mind you barbed wire ....that I noticed at the last minute...just perfectly connected to my brake lever and stopped the bike in mid air....I flew over the handle bars and land on my back I think....well it knocked the wind out of me and I was grasping for air...

Worst of all....yeah the wind thing is really bad...but also...the homeowners and family was sitting on their porch and laughing there ass off at me the whole time....

I got up...catching my breath and trying to start my bike....then took off....

I was sore after that one...


After all the posts...I realized I had some crash experience too....

Big difference now is that on a yz 250 you hit race speed very very fast !!!



Anyhoo.....

Thanks for all the posts.... I am glad to hear about the fella who has been riding 2 years with no sereious injuries !!!

Got to go....

If anyone willing to meet up with me at a track (around H town) to get "introduced to MX" I would really appreciate it !!


Peace....

Yeah, I like those boots Casey !!
