[QUOTE="tx246, post: 434946, member: 23127"] nothing like seeing a serious injury to make for a somber ride. one sunday at a local riding area we had something like that happen. it was a beautiful day and it was crowded. there was a dirt road that ran along the bottom of a dam on the backside. under that road was a 8 ft pipe used for overflow. it dumped into a creek that was lined with big rocks to prevent washout. well this guy came up on someone on that road and why he thought he could go "around" him off the road is still the question of the day. needless to say he took a twenty foot drop into the creek and landed on these rocks. despite the best efforts of an emergency room nurse and an emt who saw the accident, the rider died. it was like someone popped a ballon at a kids birthday party. the place got real quiet and everybody loaded up. must of been 3-400 people. parents were hugging their kids as they were trying to expain what happened. the sobering moment was the waving off of the careflite and seeing to coroner van headed to the accident site. im sure everybody was thinking if this sport was "worth" it on the way home. i know i was. my kids saw the whole thing. i havent quit riding but every time something "bad" happens it leaves a bad taste and i dont feel like riding.
