I had a bad bull riding accedint a couple years ago I freeze up when i get on now?

Question

I haven't even been able to get out of the shoot scine that night i got hung up and was in the hospital for 3 weeks is this a sign that I shouldn't ride or is it something I need to do to show myself that I can still ride?

Answer 1

people get in accidents all the time doing things they love with animals. get hurt reallll bad. and dont spend a second quessing if they will go back. why are you? dont you know other people that have gotten hurt bad, and have jumped back into it with no doubt. sure the first few times you get that feeling in your gut like something might happen. but it goes away.

Answer 2

Its not a sign that you shouldn't ride. Its a sign that your still scared, and that you think something might happen again. You have to tell yourself that nothing bad ill happen again. And you have to build your confidence back up.

Answer 3

Only you can answer the question of whether to ride again or not.  It's natural for you to fear getting back on a bull, because you understand that you could get hurt again.  But if you feel the idea tugging at you constantly, then get back on a couple of smaller bulls and work your way back up to the big 'uns.

Answer 4

Just remember how good you use to be and how much money you where making.........
