Message: [QUOTE="moto1313, post: 180154, member: 20131"] [b]They simply do not have the ability[/b] People who criticize MX and biking are generally the same people who are probably not real gifted athletically. For these type of people, riding a bike would be suicide, as they do not have the ability to react and do things on a bike that you take for granted and "just do". Trying to explain why you do something to these types is wasting your breath. My dad is one of these types. Put him on a bike with any real power in the dirt and he literally would get hurt IMMEDIATELY. He does not understand how this could ever be fun. Just tell people that some of us do like dangerous fun and it definitely keeps you focused. People get hurt doing lots of things. In the grand scheme of things, MX'rs are generally very well conditioned and do not get hurt nearly as often or as seriously as other sports. [/QUOTE]
