Are you a Motocross Racer?

Question

If so, How old are you, what do you ride, whats your gender, and whats the most serious injury you've ever had, if any??

Answer 1

I am a male, and I have been racing for almost 13 years now. I started racing dirt bikes at age 8, and have been hooked ever since. I have had some injuries (two that involved a wheel chair) which kept me out for a couple seasons, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. It is part of the sport and you gotta take the good with the bad. Motocross is the most physically demanding sport there is, and I am guessing you are debating letting your kids race or continue to race. Let them do it! It is good for you both mentally and physically, plus having them do the maintenance teaches responsibility. If you have any further questions feel free to email me.
