Anyone racing?
I'm considering but I've never done it before. It looks so intimidating for a beginner like me. My buddy that has done a couple is trying to talk me into it. He crashed hard last year in the qualifier and still finished, bent bars & all, and made it to the main. He said he rolled every jump and still qualified.
I'm really not worried about how good I do, what worries me is that about 40 people got carted out on a stretcher last year. Everything from broken ribs, legs, collar bones, ankles, wrists and so on. I'm afraid that adrenaline will kick in and I will do something stupid and beyond my capabilities. I think I'll post this part in one of the other forums for advice.
