Default Crash

I went down yesterday at Angleton MX. I was actually doing really, really well. I was clearing almost everything, except the new big double (I tried it once, cased it, my men went into the tank, I didn't try it again. ), and the step up thing.
Well, I had cleared the table in the back section for three laps, and when I went to do it the fourth time, I ended up...falling off the back of the bike? All I know is it hurt. Really, really bad.
I went to the doc, anddd, I have either a small hairline fracture or a chip on my tailbone, and alot of torn muscles in my leg.

But, anyway, the new 756 on front is awesome. I love it.
The 952 on back was pretty good as well. It broke loose quite a bit on the little dry sections though.. It's still really good.

Sorry to hear about the crash man, that sucks.

Sounds like maybe you looped out over the jump then?

Yeah, I think so. But, it was weird because the jump throws you..perfect. And, I had already hit it a few times, and it was pretty easy. I'm not sure why I looped out. I was probably just not in the right position when I took off.

I can't believe I missed this post. Glad to hear it wasn't worse. I hate to ask, but did Shelb get a pic of the Crash-N-Burn? j/k Sounds like Motoman is right ~front too high or butt too low.

hmmm..now I've always thought; if you're not crashing you're not improving. But then again, if this were 100% true, Motoman would be pro-class by now, right? j/k bro

Take it easy and let it heal!

The reality of it is....that I rarely ever crash, I really don't. But when I do....well its spectacular.

So true. When your good, crashes are rare, but when they do, they are indeed very bad. I think that's when you know your good, when you don't crash anymore, then one day, you almost die. Me, I crash all the time, amazing what you get use to eh lol

Haha. Shelby didn't go that time! Sucksss.
It's weird, every time you think you're doing "good" or "better", you end up crashing.

That's because you are improving. Haven't you heard... "If you don't crash, you're not going fast enough."

Seriously though, to improve you gotta push your limits. It just sucks when you actually exceed your limit. And then sometimes, it's not a matter of pushing your limits, accidents just happen.

Typical blame the male... I think is was Mrs.Twisters (aka Wobbles) fault she is always starting trouble. I heard she was band from the Wal-mart in Humble for high jacking blue hand towels and embroidering them with obscene hieroglyphics. Shame shame shame....
