The comeback?

I was off from 88 to 05 and when my kids started racing thought I had to come back to. It all comes back pretty quick really only thing is it takes ALLOT longer to heal. after breaking my wrist came back again. then broke collar bone came back again. knocked self out in hard wreck decided to retire. always said when my kids could beat me I would, but it came a little early. D ran 4 seconds a lap faster than me this year at our home track, so I guess it was time anyway. good luck. keep it fun. I think part of my problem was I took it to serious, but that is also the nature of it.

so you have been riding woods all this time, just no MX?

Don't listen to this Team Ideal guy, he don't know squat about moto.

The most likely place to get hurt is on a jump or whoop section ... so just take it easy and work your way up from the little stuff to the harder stuff.

I was off completely for about 4 years racing nothing heavier than downhill mtb bikes and it's the jumping that suffers most. I still only get to ride 2-3 times a year on my friend's 250 smoker, and even it feels like a heavy tank to me.

I just do the easy to medium jumps and take it easy on the big stuff or being a hero in the whoops. Usually about the time I start feeling good about the track and going for it on bigger stuff I am starting to hit the wall physically. Just hard to stay in riding shape if you're not on a bike regular.
