There are two kinds of people in motocross.

The first type is the person who spends every weekend (And lots of time in between..) since they were barely able to remember anything, racing motocross... Thats what they do, and nothing else in the world means more to them than being the best they possibly can at this sport. When they encounter injuries, its just another step in the road, they really dont know anything else... These are the types that make up 90% of the professional racers today...

Then there is the rest of us... Those who enjoy the sport as much as the above, who have the skill, but at some point, realize that there is a lot more that we are interested in than Moto... Those that make up this group all joined for some reason or another... Either we got bored with the sport, started out early and missed out on the action when it counted and came back too late (myself), or got hurt bad enough to second guess their future in the sport.

At some point you have to pick which group you want to be in, and sometimes it takes a serious situation such as yours to bring that decision to light... Bottom line, this sport is all about fun... Everybody should take that into account next time they go for that huge jump...

Get well soon...
