Quit vlogging and just ride. Crashes are part of it

What ever you decide to do, Don't sell your riding gear or mx tools, they are an expensive bitch to replace when you change your mind.

Yeah, the best thing I’ve learned is to not to try and gasp for breath. Basically you just have to hold your breath and kinda flex your chest muscles until you can feel that pressure go away once you realize you’ve knocked the wind out of yourself. Seems like that helped or maybe it has just happened to me so often that I don’t freak out when I can’t breath, I dunno!

It is the worst though!
Lay on your back next time and relax. Air will be back in a second.

Crashed just like that 5 weeks ago, and I can’t wait to ride again.
Took the bars to the chest, rode it out then passed out when I couldn’t breath.
Was scary but man I can’t wait to get back!

I crashed just like this last week, I’m sitting here with two sprained wrist, two swollen knees and my groin is killing me still. I’m like....fuck....I’m getting to old to crash anymore. Over jump a triple, get catapulted over the bars absolutely SUCKS! Other than the crash, your riding looked good man. Track looks fun.

Listen, I hope I don't come off as insensitive ass because I hope you are well and I want you to ride again.
But . . . . put the fugging camera away and ride for YOURSELF and not for social media. Take a couple
lessons to get some technique down and maybe do some trail riding and work on some bike handling skills.
It's so much more fun (and safer) that way!!!

Maybe I'm just too slow, but I can't figure out what happened to both the OP and Bryan to where they just go cartwheeling on landing. Neither looked that out of shape at landing--so what happened?

Listen Bro, if this helps. I've had 6 concussions from skateboarding, snowboarding, bicycles, and motocross where I had to get checked out by paramedics and or Dr.

Unfortunately I have quite a few other times I was knocked dingy but never went to the Dr.... My dumbass is doing ok, so you're going to be OK.

The type of person who makes pretentious VLogs to document their amateur riding is the same type of person who rides way over their head on a 2 lap demo ride.

Please do quit, it would be better for all involved.

You will rebound. Had my worst MX crash 2 weeks ago and I can’t wait to get back. It’s worth it. Die today with Mx die tomorrow no Mx; give me today.

Listen bro, head injuries are different every time and for every one. I'm glad you're doing fine, but it's apples and oranges here

Listen bro I got knocked whacky one day and ended up having seizures for 4 years of my life because I never got looked at.

Glad your head is apparently thicker than the average humans but not everyone is you bro

I definitely don't mean for this to be personal or anything, but you flat landed dead throttle. I've learned that lesson before. If the track allows and you're about to take a hard hit, keep that thing pinned to absorb the shock. I've also had some bad flat lands with my SSS suspension and it has saved me more than once. That's why I will always ride Yamaha.

My parents drove me home from the track and the Wife was driving the truck when we got into the accident.

Last time I hit the deck 12/3/2017. I called it looking my wife in the eye. I was done after 27 years of riding and a hanfull of injuries. Few months out of accute re hab my 450 was for sale and sold a few weeks later. In less than a month I had a mint 125 in the garage. Rode for the first time 1 yr and 3 months post accident back in March of this year and have ridden atleast once a month since. (A far cry from being an every weekender, weather permitting, for 27 yrs). I’ve learned that If I want to ride and continue to ride its time to back it down both in bike size and pushing. Now its about letting my skills get me around the track at a comfortable pace and enjoy the moment. I am lucky to be able throw a leg over the bike and I cherrish Every chance I get. In saying all that! You’ll be back on the bike and like others have said stop vlogging and enjoy the ride.

@theycallmebryan we should ride soon. Sounds like we are cut from the same cloth

My advice is to not make a final decision right after a crash. Take a 6 month break and then reevaluate. Don't sell your bike or gear just yet.

This is a perfect scenario on why I love A-kit suspension.
It’s when I do something silly like that (and we all do if your one to get off the ground often) it just soaks it up and goes POOF like it didn’t even happen. Its actually amazing.

Then I continue on with my happy little life.

Glad you didn’t get hurt worse OP.

I say this every time anybody breaks ribs, but get a prescription for lidocaine patches for the pain, you can get lower dose patches over the counter, but if they gave you narcotics those are not going to help.

Broken ribs can turn into pneumonia really quick if it is too painful to cough or breathe deep.

I think you are being over dramatic dude.

I can see a couple of things that lead to this crash
1) It's a brand new bike that is completely different from what you usually ride and you are trying to put in a hot lap on your second lap on it. Take your rmz to the same track on the same day and 99% chance you don't even tip over. Plus, you weren't revving it when you flat landed, my 7 year old knows to do that.

2) Put the go pro away and ride for fun instead of likes. Trying out a new bike while worrying about looking good for your legions of followers is gonna end bad. When I'm at the track a good rule of thumb is to avoid the guys with go pro's as most of the time they are goons trying to look stylish for the camera. In fact, I think this thread is an attempt at getting more views on your channel. That crash was was nothing and you're going to quit because of it? I don't think so

Stubbornness is key to not getting hurt! What do I mean by this? You MUST be STUBBORNLY PATIENT. Take pride in it.

You have to be willing to hit that double all day long, all week long...all month long... that everyone else...even the mini brat on the 85 is tripling. If you do not KNOW you have it...If you do not KNOW and FEEL with confidence that you have it...THEN YOU DON'T HAVE IT. If you just keep staying within your limits over and over...eventually your limits will change. Suddenly you will just know "I GOT THIS"...and 99.9% of the time...when you feel this...you WILL have it. When you can down side that double riding fast absorbing the heck out of it...and the next lap you can load up the suspension OJ and land in the flat, and finally you can absorb it...and you are OJing into the flat with total control...and everything in between...THEN you will know you can do it. You will not have to "go for it". You will just know you are ready. Until you KNOW this....YOU ARE NOT READY.

Take pride in putting in the work to build the confidence and ability. When you "just go for it"....you are short cutting the work, and your chance of getting hurt goes up 20x

You could see this crash coming a full lap away. On the prior lap, when that faster rider blew by and hit the triple ("Yeah..awesome")...you could see it coming. Next lap...he's going to ball it up on that triple. That is ego (look at me!) right there. This should be a lesson to you. Develop some discipline and self control. If you can not, then this is not the sport for you.

but if he didn't have a title like "I'm DONE with Motocross" then his video wouldn't get as many views.

See you at the track in a few weeks Whistling

FWIW OP, your split boarding videos are 10x better than your Moto vids to me. I’d love to have that kind of access within driving distance. I live for riding Utah.
