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

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...
