Message: [QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 159832, member: 20316"] I'm stubborn, pig-headed, and selfish. I would not give up something I loved because someone else didn't want me to participate in it. If they were worried about my safety, I would do my best to show them how I take precautions such as trail/track etiquette, protective gear, rider training and riding within my bounds. Life is dangerous; you can't [b]live[/b] if you're continually worried about getting hurt. And if a person cannot accept me for who I am and what I do, then do they really care about me or just about who they want me to be? Of course, I do not have a family or anyone to be responsible for so I have the leeway to say these things. I might feel different if I had to be accountable for someone besides myself. [/QUOTE]
