I wasn't last night and am paying the price. I was coming around a corner trying to build up speed to roll a stoppie when I hit my stunt peg on the tar. It levered my rear tire off the ground and it then began to hurt. The bike lowsided, I highsided and slammed the back of my melon onto the tar. Both arms from the shoulder down went numb for a couple of minutes. My jaw has basically locked up. Right after it happened I had some peripheral vision problems but that has cleared up.

My doctor cleared me earlier today. If I have a concussion it is minor. I am starting to feel sick now so I might have to go back in tonight to get looked at.

I usually wear at least a skate helmet but wasn't last night. It was to cold so I used the excuse that I needed to wear a stocking hat instead. IF I get back onto this little man-eating minibike I won't be without a helmet ever again. I have been hurt way to much on it in the last year and a half. Time to step back and think if it is good for my health.

I am going to rip it apart and have it all powdercoated and then decide.

WEAR A HELMET!!!!

 

I forgot. Two weekends ago I screwed up a jump and flipped the bike on top of me. The footpeg(not stuntpeg) speared my helmet. If I wasn't wearing one then I don't even want to think about the damage to my head.

Before anyone says it, I realize that I just might suck at stunting.

 

Ouch.....heal up soon

 

Thanks. <----- None of that tonight dammitt.

 

I'd hold off on that for a bit...


Makes me think I should grab a helmet...I'm not stunting well yet (can barely wheelie) but it's probably a good idea considering I have the coordination of a 2 year old

 

A couple months ago about 10 of us were parking lot racing at a school. A guy 10 ft in front of me did the same thing. He only lucked out w/ road rash on his entire forearm. Sounds like someone should invent a removeable peg????

 

Get better. That gravity thing will get you everytime.

 

Get better real quick man, it sounded like it hurt.


Everyone busts me all the time for wearin my helmet, but hey, if a helmet can provent that, i'll glady take their disses and wear one.

 

Whats funny is i always wear one while ridding dirt but never on the street... Kinda retarded when i think about it consider i was working on highchair wheelies

 

just wonderin, yall were actualy motorcycle helmets or dirt bike ones?

 

I always wear my street bike helmet; it especially rocks when it's cold or raining because it's warm with the vents closed and the visor down.
:YEAH

 

i did the same thing awhile ago when i had a stunt peg. i got wobbly in a highchair and hit it in the top of 2nd. no helmet or gloves, thought i ripped my *** off

been scared of those stunt pegs since

 

Well, after a long weekend with no drinking my head seems to be ok. Just got my spare set of fork legs back from my bro. He straightened them for me. :YEAH

My elbow now seems to be the problem child left over from the crash. Got a piece of something floating around in it. Sharp and it hurts like hell when I bump it.

Everytime I walk by the in the garage it laughs at me a little bit. Fu*ker.

Helmets only from now and on.

 

i always rock a bmx helmet. would like to pick up an mx helmet pretty quickly.. ppl can say what they want but if I lose my brains my family will suffer..

 

Not 50 related but, I fractured my skull 2 months ago ridinga quad in an industrial park. Who new that a quad rolling over on top of you would be bad?

 

that sounds pretty weak cableguy I've hit my head harder than that. That is what makes riding 50s so much fun.

Village Idiots

 

Yer a chump. If you have hit your nugget harder than that..... wait, that explains a few things about you.

I aim to please. I am happy the sparks from the bike sliding down the parking lot were very pretty. You should have seen the sparks in my head when I hit the ground. I hit so hard all my hair fell out. :YEAH

 

my neighbor was riding a quad with no helmet and hit a truck now hes a vegy

 

the only time I wear a helmet when I am in a comp. or I have too , but I should always wear one but I feel like a bitch on a 50 with one on

 

I guess there is pressue to not wear one, but I've decided I don't wanna be around to witness a crash without one on. My noodle is too precious and I'm too old for all that craziness.

I picked up a Fulmer dirtbike helmet on sale for $50.00. It's DOT & SNELL approved, inexpensive, and covers my face. Gotta protect the chicklets!
