I'm finally about to have my quad back together after what has been almost a year. I didn't realize it had been that long until I started thinking about it yesterday. Hah, I'm almost dreading the first time back out because I'm gonna be so out of shape.

almost 7 months of not riding a track for me...PT twice a week since mid-October and home rehab 7 days a week...some days twice a day. All this for a torn labrum in the shoulder. Hopefully I don't dislocate it any more when landing from a jump (no wreck).

Total rebuild and it has been a work in progress because of school. Tuition always takes a tole on the quad funds. I could have some pics this weekend if I manage to get it together.

once i started getting the hang of it, it has become even better and better every time i play it. i am about 40 % of the way done right now. I havent done any freestyle or any of the truck only type stuff. I have just about all of the nationals, waypoint, and supercross stuff unlocked. i love the game, i havent tried it online yet, i like to think i am pretty good at it. lol. steve

I haven't been on a sport quad since August 15th 2004 . :(

I never even used my Grizzly at all last summer ... and used it twice this winter to plow my driveway ... then it went back into hibernation until we get another snow storm. Good thing it's paid for , or it would be up for sale.

I just rode for the first time yesterday since October. I had the itch pretty bad. I couldn't imagine a year. I hear it on being out of shape. I rode around the mud sliding around and riding wheelies for about an hour and I had mad arm pump. Pretty pathetic!

Before March of 09 I had been out of the sport for over 2 years... Been riding/racing every single week since March and I'm still not in the shape I was before I stopped riding before.

its been since june of 09 for me... And that was 1 ride, and before that it was 3 rides, then before that i was off for another 7 months... Soooo in like 15months i rode 4x =/ I got into the weights real hard, went from 165lbs to now, 220 lol. Im sketched about riding, my cardio is not the greatest and im bigger now, so i know i wont be able to move as good on the quad! lol Im taking both of them out, the ltr and 450r wednesday(off work and no class), start em up, and maybe ride them a little! If anyone wants a 450r, its an 05, fully mx built and brand new, more details, PM me!

I hear that. I haven't been trying to bulk just because I want to save what little but of cardio I have left. If I ever have to quit riding though, I'm definitely gonna strive to be a freakazoid. lol
