I had broken my right ankle and tib/fib in Tech 7s in the past. This past year, I bought the Side crossfire. About third ride out, I flat landed a jump and broken my ankle and heel. Bad luck or boot? I don't know.

I have been hurt so many times, I quit calling the wife. My friends know this and someone makes a call to her. Sometimes she shows up, other times she does not. My son races and she knows the risk. I only call her if he is going to be admitted (happened once). She understands injuries will occur. Problem is...

It has rained here in DFW 10" in the past three days. I cleaned the shop and simply sat afterward and stared at my son's two 65 sx and my rmz 450 and dreamed of what could have been.

Earlier this year I went to buy a 2015 CRF110 pit bike. MSRP $2,000. I do the paperwork and they tell monthly payments ( I know, why finance small amount? Building my credit back up), I do the math in my head and it doesn't add up. I ask to see itemized bill of sale. Without asking or offering, they...

Hmm, Townley went from retired old vet racer at LL's to superstar on the biggest stage of the year. Yeah, he got my vote. All the racer's on both sides rode great and deserve credit.

On social scoop, there was a photo purportedly of Eli's new helmet. It has Geico and Muscle Milk graphics. Why would he post a photo of that helmet if he is signing with Kawasaki? Is the Kawasaki deal 100%? If so, does anyone know when the announcement would be made? Thanks.

I looked on the 6D website and it closely resembles the Factory Connection Racing replica graphics with the camo paint scheme. On the visor it clearly has the Honda and wing. Maybe wishful thinking, but I would like to see him on the Honda.

In 08, I shattered by right ankle and broke my tib/fib. 18 screws and two plates hold it all together now. This injury to my left ankle has put a lot of pressure on the right and it is beginning to cause problems. Good luck to you.

Last weekend I landed on the side of a table top and elected to jump to side and flat landed. I did not crash, but when I landed my left ankle compressed. A trip to ER showed only a crack in the talus and in the heel as well. I am on crutches with a boot now and follow up...

How long before I can ditch the crutches? In 08 I shattered my right ankle and broke tib/fib. Three months non weight bearing. I also had a broken arm and torn shoulder. I had to used a walker with an arm rest.
