Ridge on Racer X Virtual Trainer

Awesome. Every "normal" mini racing kid should be made to watch that.

Embarrassed? Nothing for these troopers to be embarrassed about. Fucking awesome is what it is. I like how he mentions that Extremity Games is important to him because it (if I understand it correctly) was what originally started this that ultimately led to X-Games picking it up. More people should keep such things in mind, imo.

You know what??

I have never met Chris , but i can tell you if i ever did , I'd shake his hand and buy him a God Damn beer!.........probably 2 or three really.....

The guy is a stud man!

x2 One heck of a role model for people. See you at X.

Awesome, Ridgway lays it out perfect in that interview, good job. And good luck at X again this year.

Nothing I can add other than. Bump.

My take was he's not able to ride to his ability, definately a savage.

Wow, such an uplifting story. I had the opportunity to attend Extremity games last year where I got to see Ridgeway ride. It was a memorable experience, he's one heck of a rider!

Just putting in a bump.....maybe Ridge will come in and put a reply down.

This is AWESOME!!!

Thanks guys! I really am passionate about riding motorcycles. It's all I think about and no matter what kind of racing I do (I race everything I can), nothing compares to MX.

I will give it everything I have to win another gold at the X Games.

Hoppsan - I have to say that I had some strange looks riding in a tennis shoe when I first started riding again. I think a lot of the other riders looked at me as an attention whore (nobody ever treated me like that though), but I just wanted to ride and go fast again. That was a little embarrassing as I don't like to atrract a lot of attention off the track. My dad always said to do my talking on the bike.

People look at motorcycle riders/racers as crazy people anyway. So, when you've allready been really hurt on a bike, they seem to be a little more vocal about it. Even some of my old moto buddies don't understand why I keep riding. I'm not good at too many things so I will hold on to this sport until the day I die.

Thanks again for the props everybody! This thread makes me feel pretty good!

This is very motivating and really makes me feel good. You are the shit ridge!

awesome... great stuff...
