Message: [QUOTE="oldguy, post: 1241116, member: 16965"] no matter how much anyone loves racing MX it will never replace living a life where you control your actions. Seriously anyone that suffers repeated concussions should have a serious talk with a neuro specialist before deciding whether to quit or continue. Look at the pros that gave up their meal ticket in order to retain their full mental/physical capabilities. As an amateur does it make sense to risk a life of being spoon fed and drooling all over yourself for a $2 trophy. My son suffered a couple concussions a few seasons back and came close to ending his MX career until testing revealed he was safe at that point. Now any concussion is a major threat to him that he may have to quit. And yes you could be killed walking down the sidewalk with your dog but the odds of a severe injury racing MX are far more prevalent [/QUOTE]
