Message: [QUOTE="Amadeus, post: 575324, member: 41106"] Thanks for the unique point of view Tmax. Most of us (including myself) just think in terms of if we wreck....pick yourself, brush off, and ride if you can. Where as one crash could make or break the best of attitudes with kids. I remember my very first crash at 6. We had this 1 acre pond in our field out back where we would ride the burm, it was like having our own oval track. I was on an old cr80 and I was practicing my skids on the straights:) On one lap I had the bike pinned in the straight and slammed on the rear break. Well just as I did on my bicycle I looked back to admire my long skid mark. SLAM! the bike tipped and my leg was sucked in with it. I can remember how scarry it was to slide with a bike on top of you...gas leakin on you and all. It took but seconds before I started to squeel like a pig. Of course my brother was laughin his pants off. [/QUOTE]
