Message: [QUOTE="smoker, post: 1016732, member: 66647"] I am 56 years old and would like to try MX, my oldest son rides and is pretty good at it, and I got hooked watching him. My problem is this, I can't seem to get myself to go high into a berm on the gas, I always drop to the inside down low, I think this may be mental because at 22 Years old I went into a curve on a gravel road too fast on a Honda 750 crashed and went over the front of the bike, now at my advanced age,the ball and socket of my sholder are worn out and I have a lot of pain in that sholder. My son says ride, ride and ride somemore is the only way to get over this fear,but try as I may I can't seem to improve,and I don't want to give up on my dream of raceing, any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
