Racers listen I need your advice!

[rookiex]

alright I am going to sound like a lil b!tch right now,But heres my deal,I was out on a (dirtbikers MX track) the jumps were small not wide short run ways to 60fters....(backyard track)....This was the first time on a Bigger MX track in a long time,6 months I have been out of the game due to my leg an surgery broke in 5 spots pins an all, then they went in a took them out...My leg is weak My dad DOES NOT want me to hit the jumps yet (I don't have my leg brace the docter are issuein) An my grandpa who was just recently paralized tells me before I go (Be carefull buddy or you'll end up like me).....Now I get out on this track I am not doing ANYTHING my cousin who once I could smoke is trashing me,I don't know what to do So I get mad, An I go at the 80 foot double pinned in forth an hit the top of it with my back right tire off camber cuz of the jumps are way off what they should be, almost crash an break my neck.My leg is so weak that when I hit the whoops like I use too I can't even triple barly double an things I would normally have no fear toward comes to me like a monster,An I remembered the last time I was on a track was the day I broke my leg, An let me tell you the meds on had said I was lucky I did'nt die, I kept thinking about it an my grandpa an how easy it was for him to get hurt like that,An my new cdale I JUST couldnt figure out how to get it up in the air like the EX.God its the worst thing.....I lost the only thing I was really good at ya know.

Tell me whats wrong with me! :(

I know I sound like a sissy now.....an for those who have bad comments about my deal....keep them to ya selfs...cuz this is really buggin me :(

work out the legs for a while, and just start back up like a novice, start on little 20ft tables, and work back up, thats the only way

[mxdave28]

i will have to agree with bean...basiclly you will need to start over again....the worst thing you did and alot of people do after a nasty crash is....think you will be able to pick up right where ya left off. it took me about 5 months before i could even put half my body weight onto a quad seat let alone go out and rip off a big double. just take your time, build up your ability and work on that leg before ya know it your back.
another thing to keep in mind, no matter what ya do there is always risk....getting out of bed your taking a risk of twisting an ankle or stubbing your toe or something...you could get run down just checking your mail....doesnt matter what ya do Mx Xc or just even trail riding, accidents happen. there is a kid in here open forum i think was trail riding was even moving just chillen and the quad went rolling down hill he took off after it and fell into a creek busting himself up pretty good. he wasnt even on it! so in short take your time, work on it and it will be there. Good Luck!

PATIENCE is the key. Been there, I know how you are feeling. Don't go out and try to rip it up.......Ditto above posts^

Later,
--Josh- I was a one-handed typer for a while ;)

Just take it easy for a while dude... Your body went thru a trama and now you have to slowly get back into sync...no biggy give it time and you'll be roostin sooner than you know..:devil

If I recall I seen a post from you not to long ago where you said you had been praticing with "Ben Jackson"and another where you raced at Sunday Creek and quilified for Loretta Lynn's(which you don't have to do).So which is it have you been riding or not,or just lying:rolleyes: :huh

[rookiex]

No I did infact race at sunday creek an did fairly well but that is not a challangin track at all,And I raced in only one heat, I did not know that it was'nt a qfyer for lorettas....Because on my race calender it says ''loretta lynns qulifyer'' an the trophy I got said it too....I honestly did not know at all.

My cousin did vary well an he is a dirt bike rider he is the one whom told me to go for the area round.
And as for bennie he also told me I shouldnt be doing this stuff just yet.

I was at his track in marion and he seen my leg an how it was ALOT smaller than my other one my upper leg where my knee is, its like jello, His dad also said I should'nt be racing on it yet.Practicing is even hard on me yet I can't even make it around (even at sday creek) with out being winded for now.
