[QUOTE="bbbom, post: 130466, member: 16301"] Bahahahahaha, I not getting in touch with my inner self, it's my inner CHILD!!! What else could posess a woman at my age to buy all the toys I have in the last few years?!!:scream: Actually it is kinda interesting that I find these articles (man things are sssllloooww at work now) and they say what all my old coaches used to tell me! Hmmmm maybe they weren't all that dumb afterall. Blackhawk, Glad you saved it! The bad crashes are a serious reality in racing of any kind. I have watched many members of my family get hauled off by ambulances and helicopters. None have had any serious complications except one uncle who will never have a normal life again (he wasn't racing but was tuning a racing snowmobile). I also still feel the effects of some of my mistakes in my younger days! I let my kids race and it scares the heck out of me, especially my son because he is getting fast and loves the jumps. My daughter is getting pretty fast too and has no fear so it will be even more difficult for me to take it easy watching them now. I just keep telling them to keep it under control and to not ride over their heads. I also impress upon them that a bad crash will not only break the bike, preventing them from riding trails with me until it can be fixed but also that it may affect them physically for the rest of their lives. I am not sure how much longer I will let them race though. They are so little and I don't think I could stand to see one of them seriously hurt. My son asked me this morning why it hurt to get old. I had to laugh and explain that it all depends on how you treat your bod when your young. If you are going to pursue this sport, keep your body in the best physical shape you can. Take time to learn How to ride properly. Do not ever take the dangers of this sport lightly, they can affect you for the rest of your life and you have a long time left. Don't be scared but do be prepared! (Hey I made a rhyme ;)) [/QUOTE]
