When i was young (1st ride) on my lil moto 4 80 (that i still got) i was riding i fell off a 30 ft cliff and got a concussion other than that nothin brusis

 

We all have been balled up riding our bikes and atvs My son is off to a long list of injuries in his 5 years of riding. 24 hours after getting his first quad his sister turned in front of him with her go-cart he turned to miss her fell off and broke his arm real bad 3 pins and 8 weeks in a cast.broke his knee on his mx bike split his chin coming up short on a double foot peg marks permently in his knee countless brusies and more skin scraped off than I care to mention He says if you aren;t crashing your not riding hard or fast enough

 

i'd have to say the worst i did was spraining an ankle, i usually hang on really tight and know my terrain, but the ankle bit was when i hit a rut from a truck.....not a small rut either like someone on 44" or bigger tires made this rut, and it was either riding the left side or right side of the hole...lol.

even when my quad died going up a hill and started flying backwards, throwing me 30 feet through the air and landing, i didn't break anything, didn't even sprain anything....only thing that happened was the rack on my quad got bent, i have pics of it around here somewhere, went flying between 2 trees 6 feet apart......brother and best friend thought i was gonna die that day

 

1 week after my head injury...

 

A car drove into the side of me on a VFR750 once which left me with a dislocated left knee and torn cruciate.

Three years ago I binned an XR650R into a tree which resulted in 4 broken ribs and 5 shattered vertebra and a crushed spinal cord. And permanent paralysis.

Which is why I ride a quad now (though I also have a Vmax trike)

I think I'm winning this thread so far....

 

not sure if that's a contest you want to win

 

This is a category I'd rather not make a podium finish in.

 

Explains a few things.

 

why's everyone keep saying that

 

I wonder what they were saying before that?
