Message: [QUOTE="Terry B>, post: 218721, member: 23182"] I recently got into riding again after a LONG time out of off-roading. Your questions definitely cause one to ponder MORE questions. Were the injured parties you mention experienced? If so, and the way you refer to them, they were, were they riding outside of their abilities at the time of their injuries? If not, then I would say you and your son need to re-evaluate the reason(s) you started riding/ride to begin with. If racing/bike prep are getting hectic, try laying off actual competition for a while and stick to some more sedate trail riding. Maybe look into some of the many "tours" posted in popular publications. Utah, Baja and the like. They can gear the tour for you and your sons ability. Just the fact that you are competing in races adds some pressure that wouldn't be there if you were just riding for the sake of ENJOYING the RIDING. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
