Daily injury... you too?

So it seems almost everytime i practice i hurt myself. I don't mean broken legs and whatever, but consistent minor injuries that cause constant pain for 48+ hours.
yesterday it was hella windy. i mean, like 25mph w/ 45mph gusts. my spot is an old road, running roughly east west, and the wind was out of the west, so it was Not directly from the side. I was goin slow, low idle, at bp. gust pushed hard to the right, and i Think i over compensated, bike dropped left, hard. i saved it, no crash, and the bike came down roughly 180 degrees and somehow in the process i kicked the bike ( I think) i've got this Huge knot on my right shin.
time before that stalled it (killed the engine) at 12'o clock (too much brake) my dumb *** went right and the bike followed. cage hit my left knee when I hit the ground.
Constantly getting hurt. I suck. but not completely.
Everyone else?

Re: Daily injury... you too?

Not to many injuries on regular sessions, but dislocated my shoulder one session and flipped a stoppie that resulted in a broken pinky toe and a broken rib . The rib still hurts and its been about a month. Pay hard to play hard i guess

Re: Daily injury... you too?

Small injurys every now and then. but right know my wrist kills me after a session. mostly my left hand from working the clutch and brake. doesn't stop me but hurt the next day at work.

But in this game you are lucky to only get a couple of bumps and small cuts

Re: Daily injury... you too?

I don't have constant crashes or anything


but I always have a good 5-10 bruises all over my legs from jamming my legs into the tank/bars/pegs..


And my left knee ALWAYS kills me.. Because Its my bad knee, and its the knee I put all my weight on during standup's

Re: Daily injury... you too?

Just wait I looked at most of your ages and all I have to say is wait. Im 32 Ive been riding in some form or another for 25 years dirt, street, lot you name it I have broken bones in all of them. After every session I always have some pain somewhere, but I have minimized the physical impact by working out 6 days a week, stretching, and gd suppliments. Thats what seems to be key in this sport physical fitness, i guess just like any other sport.

Whats starting to kill me is depending on the wheather when i wake up past injuries bother me, but I cant stop! This is the one thing i have kept constant in my life and once I get on my bike all the pain goes away.
