injuries???

[teamexileracing]

K well i have had an injury that has set me back in the atv world. I just though i would start a thread about injuries. What has happend to you, how, when, what has it prevented you from doing.

Seeing most of my friends break all kinds of bones I kinda shyed away from doing dumb things. I always worn protective wear too. My boys used to make fun of all the riding equipment I used to wear, but after they had broken their ankles and ribs and colorbones they started wearing it too.

K well last year i was in a lacrosse game, Varsity as a fresman i must add only 2 fresh on the team played Varsity. Anyways i was in a game and twisted too far back in my shot and fractured my spine. One of the bones cracked in 2 spots and is pinching a nerve that runs down my leg so i couldnt run or do any activities. Anyways i wasnt aloud to ride my dirtbike or four wheeler for 3 months and when i did get back on the bike it killed my leg everytime i rode it. The four wheeler was fine though but it starts to hurt after a couple hours of riding.

Its been over 9 months now sice it happend and i havent ridden my dirtbike in forever and i have barily ridin my fourwheeler, becuase its being rebuilt and becuae of swimming for my back to heal. Well i swimming is almost over and lacrosse is starting again. I think im going to try it again. You cant give up when your playing as a freshy. Ill just have to wear a back brace or somthing. Anyways it sucks, hopfuly i can ride too. I want to start racing.

Im like the ideot of my group and always try the stupid stuff. Im not a bad rider so nothing really bad happens. I never wear gear and it gets scary some times. i wish i could afford some protection stuff. The worst thing ive done so far was take my friends crf 230 off a 4 foot kicker jump with no landing ramp and it in 6th gear pinned. That son of a bitch bottomed out i cracked my nutts on the seat so hard. I rode like 5 yard then just recked beccause i was liked passed out. They said it was the funniest **** ever, i wish i still had the vid of it, you would all laugh bacause of how much air i got off that tiny ramp. That wasnt too long ago eather. You can say i dont care about healing my back and thats because i dont if its going to interfear with my fun.
Balls to the wall or nothing at all.

YEa, and when you are 30, and crippled, and CANNOT ride, you'll wish you would have listened to the doctors.

Don;t **** around with your back.....just think. EVERYTHING attached to you, is also attached to your back. Bang it up, and you'll WISH you would have taken it easy when you are young.

 

[warriorxcr1]

just ride within your limits..... if you arent willing to do something and respect the consequences then dont do it.

I find that line funny.

One trip to the ER and you could of bought the best of all riding gear.

 

[teamexileracing]

no no i always wear a helmet im just talking about the chest protectors and boots and stuff. O and im gettting a back brace for my back soon so i will be able to do anything well not anything but what i use to be able to do. If you ask any of my friends the most things that i tell you on here of me doing stupid things are before the back injury and ive really calmed down since then. The dirtbike nutts thing was the first thing ive done since i have hurt my back that was hardcore everythig else has just been like ridng on the streets and stuff. The doctors said it wont cripple me it will just give me great pain in the leg in the future, but seriously you might as well live your life fun or not live it at all whats the point of sitting at home and not riding when you can ride and have fun. If i am crippled when im older ill probly regret it but hey i will learn to live with it and it will give me a new outlook at life and hey then i would be able to get one of those sweet handicap. accessable rhinos that are all hand powerd.

Dude how do you hit a tree like that. Also it looks painfull, for you and for you to look at, i would be in tears if somthing like that happend to my quad.

i hit a dog on my old yz80 and broke my wrist and got some cuts and bruises and thats about it

Seriously, listen to you r doctors. I crashed my streetbike 12 years ago. They told me my knee was sprained. After a couple months they said I should have surgery. But I was young and the weather was nice and I didn't want to miss any riding time so I didn't do it. Well I still have knee problems today, Somedays I can barely walk, most of the time its just a limp. Still haven't had surgery..... I'm just saying, listen to your doctor, and let it heal before beating yourself up again.

Listen to this man.

I'm 30. Turned my right knee into a maracca @ 22

I have friends that mangled backs at 19-22, and at 34-37 are walking around with more Titanium than my quad has.

Oh, and to the OP, that future pain in your leg? It feels like someone is cutting it off.

After watching a close friend hit the ground and cry like a little girl due to a back injury, It'll change your attitude.

guys i that was the only thing that i have done since i have hert my back that was hard or bad for it. I just got a back brace to day, my parents finaly listend to me, well only becuase lacrosse seasion is coming up that y they got it but it for riding too. O i have already droped to the ground crying over this, it kills, I no my consiqueses of riding like i do. I have also calmed down a lot from what i use to do. I really have changed but im just saying that even if somthing does happen i know its only my falt and i will regret. I hope nothing ever happens but somthings are unpreventable. I might have back problems when im 30 but who noes it could be becuase its the supidest thing, triping on a twig or somthing really small. What do you guys want me to do stop riding compleatly. I no im going to have back problems when i get older its just a matter of when it happens. I would rather live my life having fun for a while and get back problems or not have fun at all and still have back problems when i get older. If you ask me i would take the risk of having fun, its not like im jumping clifs and stuff. If you ask any of my friends all i do is trail ride. I have the smoothest riding bike of any of my friends. I mostly only do hill climbs and go mudding the only thing that could hurt my back in the hills is if i roll back words, the only thing from the mud would be lifting the wheeler and i no my limits. Im not an animal i no when to stop, and i know that its too soon to stop.
