I think the safety factor depends on how you ride - If you try a roll and flop on your side you may get bruised (flatwater) to maybe a busted rib (ocean) or worse, depending. If you just have fun but stop short of rolls & flips (like this old man :cat05 you usually just come home tired & sore if it's been a big surf day.

On bikes, what if you come up short on a double & case it in? Or if you're just blasting thru the woods & run into a tree? Much more potential for injury.

Also a lot more of a rush....:frown:

You said it. "also a lot more of a rush" I've had some dirt crashes that were awesome. :smile:

yeah, I have too...especially ones where I woke up and felt really relaxed, like I just got 12 hours of sleep............then I realized......oh fauk...I'm in the dirt, I just got knocked out.

its those first few seconds where you see a bunch of people around you and theyre all looking at you and moving their mouths ... then all of a sudden your hearing comes in... cool.. :biggrin:

It sucks after a minute or two tho when you kinda realized what happened.

Yes, You don't know were you are. Things come in slowly,sight, hearing and once I couldn't move for a couple of minutes. Then its off to the hospital. Thats why my wife is on my case about two wheels. Plus I think we get to crazy. Dirt has broken both wrists,fractured wrist,tailbone,fractured rib,leg and ankle broke off hanging. That one hurt. :biggthumpup:Now I have 6'' plate and seven screws in leg. I'm 29 and my doc says my body is about 40+. I think I might have some issues.But theres nothing like two wheels.Or one wheel.

Only if your bike is twisted

Co-worker just bought a new KLX-450R and the dirt bike bug (dormant for 4 years now) is crawling under my skin, I wanna itch it reaaaal bad...:banghead:

Was it Stricky that ended up being airlifted off the track? Just give him a call and ask for some X-Ray films ... I'm sure that'll cure the itch.

Thats the way we do it in Fl. Its also fun to ride in the rain in the summer. Dirt or sand hooks better. We don't like mud. Just a little rain to cool things off.
