ya it sucks most times lol, i was like NICE finally i have someone to practice with then 2 days later he looped in traffic and now he's done for the season and i'm back to going by myself ... let this be a lesson.. always cover rear brake

 

I hear you bro. Sometimes people ride past their abilities and get hurt like that. Like I said my one bud almost died. Soon after everyone that had a bike I used to ride with sold theres, so I was the only one left. The only one that actually knew how to do **** on a bike where everyone else was the guy that was like "watch this" and fall. I tried to get them all back on a bike but there like no way there too dangerous. I'm sorry getting out of bed or the shower can get you hurt too. Man up *****'s.

 

ya exactly if you take no risks in life then how is it life? in the end you die anyways why not have some fun.. but i guess some people aren't willing to accept the fact that there are risks in everything fun in life lol

 

Just this last winter when my brother came up to visit, we went to pick him up at the airport. As we were leaving to come home, he got a phone call from a friend telling him that a buddy of his just got killed on a bike...

Luckily it didn't really affect him emotionally during his visit. It didn't set in quite yet.

 

I hear you. When he fell I didn't know what to do. I saw my friend in the hospital all busted up. But I knew that wasn't a reason to stop. I've even seen people die in front of me. Now that fucked me up for a while. Seen a kid back in the day set down a wheelie cocked went right into a guard rail cut his leg and his arm off instanly. This kid died in my arms. Another kid I guess he was 18 just purchased a bike. Didn't know this kid. Was behind him. For some reason he wanted to go like 90 on 30 mph street lost control taking a turn hit a train bounced off of that and him and his bike slammed into a motel. He was killed instantly.

 

i've seen quite a few people go down but when its one of your own its worse cause your just not sure how to take it you know? when i watched my buddy loop out i was kinda just wondering if that **** really happened.. now he's got 2 fractured knees from impact and a mangled hand with major roadrash all up his side

 

I just look at all these things as something to learn from. Know the rules of the game. I had half off my tricept cut out last year when I fell going 55 and I still think my head is messed up. One way to tell is here when I type I have a hard time doing simple things like typing now or saying words. Not to mention I really don't have feeling in my left arm from the elbow down cause they just cut muscle tissue.

 

Hmm... sounds like you got a small problem there!

 

It def affected my riding after it happenedddd. But cereal like its hard to think now, like spelling or just trying to put something together. My helmet cracked in half. The last thing I really remember was just seeing asfalt through my visor for about 50 yards then I started doing Highschool log rolls the next couple of yards. The messed up part is the doc's where like how did you not break anything bone wise. I'm like Idk. MILK. Then before they worked on my arm this person walked in who I thought was the doctor so I asked you ready to cut me up? He's like no i'm the preist. So he said a pray for me that I would be fine. And when they did the x-rays nothing was wrong which still doesn't make sense after falling at 55.

 

Funny you mention milk. I drink a ton of milk and I think its truly kept me from snapping anything yet...

 

Better go knock on some wood after saying that. Do you pray? I do this a lot just before I go to bed.

 

Umm, I don't actually get what "knocking on wood" means... help me out?

 

You know knocking on wood? Like for good luck.

 

Oh I get it now. damn i feel dumb.

 

It's all good man. I'm weird like my moms threw out my only riding pants and I've been sucken sense then I want those ******* pants back MOM.

 

90% of the time... I have to practice alone... it does kinda suck ... but it still gets me pumped :YEAH

 

Man, I watched this one guy go down at about 100 or so w/jeans and a sweatshirt...All he got was road rash no broken anything...Just beat up for a while. Another guy went down at about 40, looped his bike...Fell on his but. Rashed up his ***, and hands. My brother went down twice, once at 130 or so w/just a jacket, gloves, helmet on...another time at about 90 or so in a curve and hit a rail. Both wrecks were someone elses fault. First wreck he just slid FOREVER, stood up, picked up his bike and rode off, (the cause of the wreck is a crazy *** story). The other wreck in the curve he slid, hit a rail, cracked his helmet. When they made it to him he said " how is my bike" they said trashed and he blacked out...Had a concussion and nice laceration to his knee...Thats it...

But I've also seen someon go down less than 30 and get broken up pretty badly...its weird man, no wreck is the same. There are no guidelines to falling or wrecking. U never know the outcome. JMO...

 

Thats me all the way...Doesn't matter who's around while I'm out trying things...When I rock a good sitdown or standup I'm always stoked and like WOOT WOOOOOOT!!!

 

Hey NYstunter636 we should get a day in with everyone from ulster and dutchess somewhere. You know the only spot we have. Is your better. I would like to see you all tear it up. I think you talk to Barry every so often tell him Jerome was asking. We usaully go every Sunday
