Injured Redrider58 currently down

That's true, if you ride a dirt bike, you can't really be considered normal.

I don't think I did post up but I will right now. I didn't even hit my head, I remember it perfectly.

Came up this hill chasing some guys dust to pass and I finally saw him and I could tell he was tired because he was just rolling the whoops, and just from racing experience 90% of fellow racers that you catch up to, if they know you are catching up or that you are right behind them, they will wick it back up and its just a pain in the butt sometime because they won't let you pass, so you have to strike while they aren't paying attention and there was a perfectly clear line around him, it wasn't a sketchy pass at all. But I just hammered down and had it 4th gear just pegged, because I hate whoops and best way for me to not deal with the whoops is to go fast :ride: and get them over with. So I pass the guy and the trail starts to narrow back down and I try to get back in the line so I can square up to hit this root coming up, I guess I didn't hit it too perpendicular because the next thing I know is that I'm bucked sideways on the rev limited nosed down about to hit the bottom of the whoop and it whipped the bars out of my hand and stopped the front wheel and I went flying along with the bike tomahawking behind me and just pile drived my leg. Ended up with some good size gashes in my ass cheek and back. It was super bizarre because I've never crashed like that and I felt fine, I mean I heard my leg snap but it didn't hurt too bad and I felt fine. just wanted to get up and find my bike that was somewhere off the trail, but I see leg pointing the wrong direction and that's when the "Oh Sh!t" moment kicked in and I was just laying at the bottom of a whoop with my hand up waiting for someone to see me and not run me over.


Damn!! Seems like the woops get everybody. Glad your spirits are high. Keep us posted on your recovery.
