I just looked through your album and read your "the day that changed my life forever" entry. It's so cool that you found a way to get back to racing. You had a choice to make as all people do who get hurt to the extent that you did. I had a friend who lost the use of his legs because of his Dad and a shotgun accident and he did not choose your path. He started a slow descent into hell that he never recovered from. Much respect to you for making the choice you did. I cannot imagine how hard it must have been or the changes you had to make in your life. Are you still playing with the Pilots or have you found new toys? And thanks for all the great content. We all owe you for your contributions to the board.

And from what I know (which isn't much), you were a badass on 2-wheels also.
And Scottie, it would be cool to meet you someday and benchrace over a couple of cold one's. Who know's, maybe I will get my @$$ over for at National on of these days or even better, the MXdN at Lakewood...
Thanks man and cool of Kinetic to mention this!
i think i was lucky that i was knocked out and don't remember a thing
i can't imagine going through the thoughts you did
(not entirely sure that makes sense but you know what i mean) and pretty glad i didn't have to, to be honest
if i ever get over that way i'd love to meet you and shoot the shit! plus you'd know where the good toilets are ha ha
I'd have to say the few years I have spent reading this forum and listening to negitivity happen on a daily basis made me negligent to join, the MX testosterone runs rife in here. Scottie you are the man who made join, I just had to say thanks for posting 'Inside the outdoors' about a month ago. I'm no-one but you got this moto junkie to join this board.
Thanks Kinetic too!
I have met a LOT of damn good people over the last 10+ years on these boards, way to many to list. Some of you may have noticed that GuyB brought me on to help start adding content to the main page here at Vital, so i have to give him a big thanks, I am just stoked that it keeps me connected to the sport i love so much. You now what they say, you can take the man out of moto, but you cant take the moto out of the man.
Its pretty crazy over the years how things have changed, i was hurt in '85, same year as Magoo, and back in the day spent a lot of time up at his house when we were going through some pretty heavy times, i could tell some stories of those days that would blow your mind. If you havent been through it first hand, you can not begin to imagine the highs and the lows. Every time i read a new post about another rider getting injured, it really breaks my heart.
Anyway, thanks again everyone for the kind words.
Glad to call you a friend, Scottie. Like many have said, I'm an admirerer (sp?) of yours. Not just for your expertise with all things tech, but for what you've lived through and for your experiences and stories you share.
Awesome story, and like swede says thanks to Kinetic for pointing this out

I love you man!
