GFMM647 Added a reply to How does your wife/partner feel about your Hobby?
12/18/2022 9:04pm Very similar to me. Although my wife only went to a couple of races during the past 21 years of being married, she always supported my riding. Even the day of my big crash, was the day of our 21st anniversary. She wanted me to go and have fun with my friends. But after 13 days in the hospital and...

12/10/2022 9:22pm Thanks StevenMX. Gives me some hope that my hand has a chance to be repaired. It's been a long time since the crash and everything else is coming along nicely. So I was hoping to get back to work at the end of the month but after the MRI on my hand, it looks like it's going to be a...

12/8/2022 6:02pm Sorry to revive this thread but had a couple of questions. Anyone have ruptured tendons that were repaired/fixed and done long after the injury date? Just found out that two of the three tendons in my hand/forearm are ruptured, pulled off the bone, and have been like that since my crash over 60 days ago. Was told by someone that...

11/10/2022 5:33pm I want to apologize for the length of this post. It was actually therapeutic to type this out and I haven't been able to watch or read anything moto since my accident. So I have been riding/ racing MX since I was 13. (48 almost 49 now) My racing days far behind me, I now just hit the weekly open...

11/8/2022 8:34pm When I started this thread, I didn't realize that talking about what happened to me and the responses from all the great moto brothers out there, would help so much either. And I'm glad it has helped you too. I guess that's one of the things that makes moto the greatest sport in the world. In my humble opinion. In...

11/5/2022 6:02pm Glad to hear you found joy in off road/trail riding. Maybe I will go that way. Only time will tell. Right now I can't even think about throwing a leg over a bike. Just going to focus on getting healthy and then back in shape. Reading all these posts have actually helped me focus and amazingly sleep better. I have...

11/4/2022 7:49pm Once again I just want to say how much I appreciate all the responses. It has really helped me clear my mind and focus on the near future. Which is getting my mind and body right for me and my family. And as painful it was to read what some of you have gone through, it was inspiring to read...

11/4/2022 2:29pm Wow! That is incredible you made it through all of that and are back doing what you love. Especially the head injuries. My hat is off to you! Yeah, definitely going to take a step back and just focus on getting well and back in shape. Will see how I feel next year. Sorry, didn't get your PM.

11/4/2022 7:21am Man, there are a lot of tough M.F.er's on here. I shouldn't be surprised as I always knew MX was one of, if not the, toughest sport. Thank you for all the responses. It's definitely helping me deal with everything. Like a lot of you have said, I'm just not going to think about riding at all, concentrate on getting...

11/4/2022 7:07am Crazy thing is, no one saw it and there were quite a few riders on the track. My friend, who I went with that day said I was flying, his words,. We went out together to ride and that's all I remember. Don't even remember how many laps in I was. My friend said he was the second person who...

11/3/2022 8:15pm Wow! That is gnarly! Glad you are ok and back at it. And you are right. When on a MX track, Its hard to just cruise around. I definitely always try to push myself. What is also scary to me is that it happened in a right hand corner into a left hand bowl corner you kind of drop into...
