[QUOTE="berm buster, post: 163002, member: 22786"] [b]Its not time to retire[/b] Hey, dirtbike dad Its not time to retire, its time to "ride smart" that can mean a lot of things to differnet people. What I mean is this. Last year I crashed bad on a double totally incorrect landing, but lets not talk about that now!. Every since that crash, I tend to really look at the track, especially the jumps I look at the takeoff ramp, the angle of the landing face, does it have a lip, is the landing a tabletop or a sloped landing face. In other words, I just analyze the jump until I have figured out everything I need to successfully complete and land safely. If its a new track, that I havent seen before, I will watch some of the other riders very closely, to watch their approach speed, what gear, what part of the power band, body position before, during, and on the landing. The thing about jumping doubles or triples is this, your either really jumping it, or you are rolling it. You really cant do half of this and half of that, I have already tried, it does not work! Thats a great way to get hurt or severely injured, because you are not carrying enough speed to safely jump. Any way, just wanted to give you a little different perspective on another members experiences. But dont give up riding, before you even THINK about that, just remember, that practically every body on this site has had those exact same thoughts, AFTER they crash! Dont give up, we hate to lose anybody that way, just ride "smarter" Have fun and ride within your abilities. bermbuster:cool: [/QUOTE]
