thurs. bike night i'm bringin new old skills!!

so after going to china this past week and riding with tony L, i decided two things.....


1.) i have fear of falling

2.) I need to step my game up and stop being a *****


since my accident i have discovered that i have gotten a fear of falling and also a fear of heights (very strange since i spend most of the fall climbing trees trying to kill deer) anyways.....i haven't progressed much at all in the past month with my riding and it's been eating me up inside....stunt riding is a step by step process and i seemed to forget that, i was in such a hurry to get circles back that i forgot to learn with the basics......therefore i haven't ridden OUT of a circle since last october.....today i went by myself to kutter harley's parking lot and road by myself for 2 hours doing nothing but foot in the bar wheelies.....finally i dipped in, spun a few circles and clutched out of it!!! after the first time it was ON. riding is my job right now so i'm riding every day possible....since i have a hard time finding people to ride out here besides joey, most of the time i'll be at kutter riding solo, hoping one of the mechanics will hear if i eat **** and come scrape me up

i'm pretty pumped right now, with my prosthetic in the bar it feels like i'm litterally standing on the side of the bike when it's leaned over in a circle and i'm finally learning that clutch control to where i can stall the bike out and ride out of it.....i said in the hospital that if i can't get my riding back to where it was a year ago from my accident i will quit cause i don't want to pull the handicap card like "hey look at me, i can ride with a prosthetic"---i just want my skills back that i had a year ago.....one step closer today for sure!!!!

everybody that has supported me through all this....THANKYOU, people have been sooooo cool to me since my accident, it may seem small to you, but words of encouragement really go along ways, my life got pretty much turned upside down, and sideways

Almost everyone on hear will give words of encouragment, but its weather or not you give the same words back that will keep the ppl that once looked up to u, still looking up to you.
