I had my first big crash yesterday at the local MX track, trying to clear a double! Serves me right, too, cuz I was just telling someone how I hadn't wrecked yet!!!!

I hit a double in the middle of third gear, almost cleared it, and when I nosed into the 2nd jump, my hand jammed into the handlebars and my thumb hit the throttle, and my bike took off - up into the air, cartwheeling! I guess it was pretty spectacular, from what some of the guys watching said! I just remember flying throught the air, landing on my shoulder, and sliding headfirst on by back for what seemed like a mile! (my shoulder pads on my chest protector worked great!!!) And then I jumped up and checked to make sure my bike was OK. It bent the handlebars and messed up my plastic a little, but we bent the bars back up and I got to ride for the rest of the time!

The wierd thing is, that crash was thrilling! I was so hyper after that! What a rush! I thought riding was the adreniline pumper, but now I know it's crashing hard and being able to walk away! Am I wierd, or does anyone else get that way too??? And I am sore, and I have these nice big bruises everywhere (including one on my leg that I don't know WHERE it came from!)..... and I like it. There has to be something wrong with that! Please tell me it's not just me!!!

Ah glad to hear your ok. I do the same thing, when i crash, i get all riled up. Mostly becuase i hit my head and dont know whats going on.haha. Try doing that in the middle of a motocross race in front of other racers and spectators..ouch. What kind of machine is it you ride?

LOL. Congratulations I guess. Just glad to hear you're not hurt. I got in a bad snowmobile wreck this winter, my friend and I jumped a 30 foot tile ditch that we never saw untill it was too late. After hitting the bank on the other side flying up over 10 feet in the air and going about 30 feet out. I flew off the sled and landed about 10 feet away. I got knocked out twice. Well to make a long story short when I came to instead of checkin on my friend like I should have I hobbled back to the ditch, looked, and instead of askin him if he was ok I was like, "We got BIG AIR!!!". All in all I suffered a major concusion, bruised hip, bruised ribs, bruised shoulders, and sore neck. My friend just got 2 sprained ankles. Lucky him. Believe me I think it's normal to get a rush from it all.

 

lol @ need. sand its good to hear your ok. i love that adrenaline feeling you get after you crash and your ok. its the best. just don't be afraid to try it again. thats the worst thing in the world when somethin upsets you so much that your scared of it for the rest of your life. just keep tryin.

 

300exter, I ride a 2001 400EX! And, yeah, I have yet to do that in a race!!! As it was, there were only about 20 people at the track, and most of them were riding, too!

Juggalo, I know what you mean. I had never wrecked before, and I was worried that if I did wreck, it might scare me. But it didn't - I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to steer if my handlebars were too messed up! They were fixable, so I got to ride some more! My last couple of laps after my wreck were in the pouring rain, too. THAT was pretty awesome! All in all, a very fun day!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Glad to see you guys get the same way!!! Hopefully my poor old bones will hold up until I get all this out of my system! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I saw my friend get put in the hospital for about a week one time from a wreck. It was about a year ago and he is the "dare me and I'll do anything" type. He was always jumping his 250R over cars, quads, bikes and junk like that and hes pretty good at it too. On his biggest jump he was going to jump it was a 2000 Dodge Ram. The ramp was too low and he did not get enough air and the bottom of the front tires clipped the roof right away which sent the quad into a front fliiping rampage as it flipped twice in the air before even hitting the ground. Then it flipped four more times on the ground before coming to a stop. My friend got thrown off after the first flip in the air and barely missed the truck. When he landed he went unconsious cause he broke his neck. He had a major concussion and a few other things too. The good thing is that we got it all on tape.
