one of my favotite quotes from my wife a few years back...

"here... hold my helmet and watch this"

See a woke in the ER with a concousion and lots of stitches.
She attempted a rather large jump in a clay pit that resulted in a front wheel landing... wasn't pretty.

However, she still rides like a maniac!
Last Christmas she looped the YZ80 while trying to jump from a wheelie... very funny to watch.

stunting in my driveway thus far, but if i keep pushing my limits it is bound to happen one day. And like Cecil, everytime i straddle my dirt bike it's crash city. Nose diving into doubles, etc. etc. No big deal, luckily sand is soft.

HAHAha.... Its funny this is a topic today!! I just ate it for the first time coming home from work in downtown Tampa!!! No worries though. I'm fine, and the bike is relativly scratch free. Frame sliders saved me a bunch of money!! The only thing that happened was the end of the shifter snaped off. I lowsided in loose sand in a curve....i knew i should have slowed down. Damn construction. Anyone have a shift lever they want to sell me? or have any experience replacing one? I figure it shouldnt be to hard. Its not IF you crash, Its WHEN you crash. ATGATT
