Let me start by saying I race XC. Hitting trees in 2nd or 3rd gear is a different animal that hittin the deck at a significant amount of speed.
I was racing "Quad Wars" this weekend for Monster Jam in Calvert City. We had an autograph session alongside the monster trucks. It was neat for kids wanting our autographs, and really feeling special that we let them sit on our fourwheelers. So for flat trackin, I put some wheel spacers in the front.
I raced all night Fri and coming onto the track on Sat for the main, (after practice and 2 heats) I made a mistake. I don't know what I did, or how fast I was going, but I ate it. Ended up going to the hospital Sunday afternoon to get some scans and x-rays. No broke bones, but was glad to hear the bleeding stopped in my head. I had a pretty good concussion. I'm missing a lot of skin, and have a lot of mean bruises. I did have on full race gear.
Here's my bike at the moment. Broken rear shock, grab bar, bent subframe, busted air box, bent rear hubs, bent axle, bent steering stem, bent handlebars, busted killswitch, and bent both tie rods.
