Shifty spring SMASH

[Shifty423]

Well here we are in the full swing of spring 3 months after a major knee injury and I felt the need to mess myself up again. Was out at the dirt jumps thursday night getting ready for the summer of motocross and it happened. Flying into the first jump with too much speed cleared it landed flat. Wheel went sideways and tossed myself into the next jump full speed. Hit so hard put a small crack in my moto helmet and broke my collar bone in two places... the pic is just my shoulder but I have 4 other bruises on my legs and hip that are just as bad....anyone else hurt yet...lol

Shifty, your just too hard on that body of yours...however as they say, no pain...no gain. Been there lots over the years. At your age you heal fast, mine is a bit slower.
Take care and let it heal well.

Cheers.

I have a saying I like to live by...Pain is pure! Pain is the only thing in life that won't lie to you, if it hurt it hurts that all there is to it...lol The only time I crash is when I am pushing myself harded than before and if I stop pushing how do I get better! Oh well I am young now might as well get it out of my system...but if I hurt myself again in the next 4 months my girl told me she would take my sled away...so I am going to be good for the summer

Good news is I dont feel the knee at all any more...

I was wearing my full pressure suit for the wreck...hit the ground so hard the mesh in my chest protector cut up all the skin around my left shoulder! Landed fully on my shoulder and side of my face. By far the fastest and hardest I have ever hit the dirt. The bike is fine other than a twisted bar from when she hit the dirt. It was a good day untill that point and in 4 weeks I will be out to play again...

 

[NosRX1]

Sounds like a camera is needed when riding with you, lots of crazy action... Heel fast then get the camera ready for the next action packed, hospital bed filled day....lol

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

I'm thinking he's a perfect candidate for a helmet cam?

 

[NosRX1]

I second that Sledbunny, maybe a snow and mud helmet cam. It could be the start of the first snow and mud VIDEO.....Shifty you don't get paid extra for the stunts....lol

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

The crashes will promote more sales which will put more money in the Video Operators pocket. Sorry shifty, its minium wage for you buddy. LOL

 

[Summitric]

Yup, Just Buy Him More Beers

The crashes will promote more sales which will put more money in the Video Operators pocket. Sorry shifty, its minium wage for you buddy. LOL

I THINK MORE BEERS AFTERWARDS, WILL NUMB THE EFFECTS OF THE ACTIONS ........ FOR EVERY ACTION, THERES AN OPOSITE REACTION(HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS). LOL MINIMUM WAGE, YUP, A CASE OF BEER IS $23.00 -- HMMM, THAT'S NOT MINIMUM WAGE ANYMORE, EITHER, NOW IS IT??

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

I agree with summitric, nothing better than a couch, good movie and a bottle after an accident lake that...been there too many times myself.

 

[Depsnolvr]

I second that shifty needs to learn to ride Get well soon will, cant wakeboard with a snapped collar

 

[GRD]

the saying goes......

He who dies with the most TOYS, wins.....

Not... He who dies with the most injuriers... This may count as losing...

 

[Shifty423]
