Today marked the third time that I have gone out riding my dirt bike. I'm WAS slowly gaining confidence again. Unfortunately, I had a small setback today. After going around Cross Creek's national track for two laps I had the gnarliest crash I think I've been in. Coming out of a turn I hit the throttle and the front end popped to the left. It dug into the dirt and the backend came around causing me to high side. It's like getting bucked off a bull. I hit the ground head first and rolled in some fashion. I don't really recall how I landed. But my head went all the way back, followed by my shoulder taking the rest of it. I ended the roll on all fours. Right now, I have a line across the back of my head where the helmet dug into my skin. That is how far back it went. The first thing I did was make sure I could move all my limbs. Then I concentrated on if there was any pain coming from the knee. None. After going back to the truck I kept checking I had feeling in my limbs. I'm freaking paranoid about breaking my neck. Anyway after resting for a long while I went back out riding. Strangely enough, I didn't think about my knee at all for the first time. But that was because I was worried about my neck. :) I'm pretty damn sore right now. Hopefully next time out I will have a flawless day.
I need to get me one of those Leatt Braces. fo sho.
