Alright so as very few of you probably know. I race motocross. A lot of people confuse this with BMX. I hate the comparison. I race motorcycles on dirt... I guess. Anyway, I was in 2 accidents last year and spent over 2 months in the hospital. I could type up my story of last year as I went through a lot but I’ll spare the details for the sake of being you guys losing interest half way through my journal. Long story short, My first accident was in May where I hit a big jump(yet for the sake of not sounding stupid to other riders reading, A 110ft double) This jump is very big considering I race SX(supercross) Yeah like on TV. Anyway I overshot(went way to far and busted my nuts when I landed) the jump and messed my knee up(I dont wear knee braces and still dont) I ended up leaving the track with a few scrapes and finished the night off placing 5th overall in my class. My knee began to swell and I had to go to the doctors to have it drained, after a while it turned out to be infected and I had to have surgery. So after I was released from the hospital i wanted nothing more but to get better and faster at MX. I had my sponsors hook me up with new parts and one of my sponsors; Decal Works; hooked me up with the beautiful design and plastics I have in the picture here- http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7265298
Anyways, I kept racing and was getting tremendously faster because I had more motivation than before. This motivation led to another accident that took place on August 20th 2011. I was going through a rhythm section and lost control of my bike, getting thrown into a barrel roll and over the bars in an accident. I landed on the landing of one jump and made my way to the next. I ended up breaking my left Femur(biggest bone in your body/thigh) and dislocating my right shoulder. I was taken to a nearby hospital via ambulance after the medics got my leg out from behind my back.(yeah I broke my femur in 4 places and had 6 fractures) anyways I ended up spending 2 months in the hospital and rehab and another month in a wheelchair afterwards. I ended up missing school and lots of opportunities I wont get a second chance at. From the moment I crashed I still wanted to race. I happen to be a minor and my mom called it quits. My dirt scoot(Motorcycle/dirtbike/bike) is sitting in my garage with multiple injuries itself. I never let it go when it comes to my mom making me quit. I think I’m on the verge of her letting me race again this spring. I still have to get my bike fixed, I still have a few months to recover, and I need to hear what the doctor has to say. So I ask you guys... should I keep at it? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below!
