Re: How many of you have felt...
Hmm, I bailed out of a wheelie @like 5mph third week trying to wheelie. Thought oh ****, my bike is gonna get fucked up, landed on shoulder bike got very light scratch, I tore right shoulder muscle.(takes bout hour or 4 befor real pain) I couldn't wait to get back out an try it agin. Low sided an s bend @65mph, slid 100ft on back thinking agin about bike yelling STOP STOP STOP, into ditch ****!!!, saw all the damage. Not able too ride away or even push. An Imediately started making calls for parts. But I do wonder if I am too old to be doing this ****. People say I am. I don't wanna stop.
**** those people...tell'm they better skeet on before they get peed on

Re: How many of you have felt...
when i crash and hurt myself, i cant wait to ride again
but ive noticed lately i hurt myself without crashing, or really even doing anything, and that makes me want to retire

Re: How many of you have felt...
well i think bikes can b fixed...u only have one body....i always try to bail so i dont get hurt and worry about the bike later......but i always watch the bike and think about what will braek when it hits something (a few times its scraping the light after i stepped off the back lol)
but any injury is ok as long as u have DERMOPLAST on hand

Re: How many of you have felt...
when i blew my knee up i wanted to quit. but after a few hours i want to ride again. i sucks getting hurt so bad that it takes weeks or months to heal. worst is at the start of riding season and you got a cast on a body part

Re: How many of you have felt...
that and i hope my bike doesnt run me over again.
never thought of quiting because of a wreck only becasue of boredom and money ive spent have made me think of quiting.i have learned that riding has been alot more forgiving then skateboarding thow, falling down staircases and off handrails is no fun.

Re: How many of you have felt...
I'm gonna admit that I've looked at my bike after a good wreck, like one where you just got your **** put back together and just fucked everything up again. And thought **** why am I even doing this? I'm just gonna quit! Then I weigh out the cost of getting my bike ready for the street and the cost of getting my bike back to stunt ready and stunt ready wins every time so **** it I'm in it for good now

Re: How many of you have felt...
Well i am just geting in to stunting and have only busted it a few times and most of them were on the 50 and not the 636... So i cant really say from that point... But on dirt... I have Crashed a few times where i was not able to get up... And was on the ground thinking... "**** how long is this going to take till i can get back on my bike"... To me if its something you really love, being hurt is not something to make you think of wanting to quit. But its a way of makeing you want to get out there and try it again and not get hurt doing it the next time... Its part of the sport to crash and learn... And sadly to get hurt and even though it sucks... Man up...
