Pansy Alert

I’ve been meaning to blog a lot more. I even had some things I wanted to blog about. Then the the moment passes and I’m like ugh…nevermind.

Almost two weeks after my head first dive into the dirt, my neck is still killing me. By the end of most days, my head feels like it weighs 50 pounds and the shoulders are killing me. I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow to get my vagina checked out so I think I will mention the neck issues. I want to make sure nothing is fractured or damaged. If I don’t catch it now then I may turn my head to say what’s up and next thing I go limp. HA! I said limp. Anyway.

Later

Hanging up the boots

I’m officially calling it quits with riding dirt bikes. When I re-injured my leg last July I was quick to say “I won’t ever ride again”. But that was more out of frustration than anything else. This time around I don’t have the frustration of a injury. I also have spent a few days thinking and talking about it with people. The risk just isn’t worth it for me anymore. I will move on to some other things I want to try out. Hopefully, I will be able to find something else I enjoyed as much as motocross. I know I’m going to miss it. At times I will probably even consider riding again. But I hope people will remind me of what I’m saying now. The decision is made and it’s official (cause it’s on my blog. That means it’s official).

I invite my friends and family to help me out with finding a new hobby. Or even getting deeper involved with other current hobbies. So if you’re into extreme knitting, feel free to invite me to try. I’m open for anything right now.

Just an example

Here is a little example of what happened today.

Not feeling too bad right now.

Confidence? I’ll have some of that please.

Today marked the third time that I have gone out riding my dirt bike. I’m WAS slowly gaining confidence again. Unfortunately, I had a small setback today. After going around Cross Creek’s national track for two laps I had the gnarliest crash I think I’ve been in. Coming out of a turn I hit the throttle and the front end popped to the left. It dug into the dirt and the backend came around causing me to high side. It’s like getting bucked off a bull. I hit the ground head first and rolled in some fashion. I don’t really recall how I landed. But my head went all the way back, followed by my shoulder taking the rest of it. I ended the roll on all fours. Right now, I have a line across the back of my head where the helmet dug into my skin. That is how far back it went. The first thing I did was make sure I could move all my limbs. Then I concentrated on if there was any pain coming from the knee. None. After going back to the truck I kept checking I had feeling in my limbs. I’m freaking paranoid about breaking my neck. Anyway after resting for a long while I went back out riding. Strangely enough, I didn’t think about my knee at all for the first time. But that was because I was worried about my neck. I’m pretty damn sore right now. Hopefully next time out I will have a flawless day.

I need to get me one of those Leatt Braces. fo sho.

Awesome

How cool is this?

It would be perfect if that happened. If it doesn’t happen I say we invite them to a video taping of Oprah. Then after they come through the door we get the entire studio audience to kick the shit out of them. Anyone in?
