    We did have a good laugh & I'm investing in more Gopro batteries. The battery died about 15 min before the crash.

    Jason Pridmore told me once "Never give up on the brakes and never give up on a corner"!

    Just curious, why did you not take the runoff road in the photo?

    Looks like a pretty easy crash. Glad you're not hurt.
    Riding well is not only a great way to get around a racetrack at record pace, but also a terrific way to become an old rider.
    Both are excellent goals!

    I certainly gave up on the corner & took what I thought was the best option. I was way tight at the entrance of the turn, I leaned it in but it didnt feel right. I was past the point of taking the other direction on that road. Wish I would have just got on the brakes and ran a lil wide in the turn probably would have been fine.

    I have always been told, you go where you look. Has worked for me a few times.

    glad to hear this wasn't any worse, sounds like it isn't anything that a bottle of ibuprofen and a handful of cash won't take care of

    You just wanted to see if offroading was for you; we all do it, right?

    I'm glad you're OK!!!

    Do I stay or run away
    And leave it all behind?

    I grew up in the dirt on 2,3, and 4 wheels. Guess I just don't have the skills anymore

    Glad your ok and walked away with minor injuries. Don't take lightly to the headache with the little BUMP. Go get your head MRI'd and EEG B4 it's too late. Better to be safe than sorry.
    Glad to see the ride made it with only minor damage.

    BUT PLEASE, GO GET YOURSELF LOOKED AT.

    Closed-head injuries r no joke...

    I'm happy to report the headaches are gone. I have a ringing in my ear, but they say that's normal after a concussion.

    I wouldn't trust it. I still think you should get looked at. Back in the 80's I had a buddy by the name of Kelly Williams (yes a guy), had a dirtbike accident, went down pretty hard, full gear. Had headaches speradically for awhile, then seemed to go away. Never thought anything of it, then started getting headaches again, got looked at, said ok, (back in 80's), told him prob stress. 6 months later we put him in the ground. Went to sleep and never woke up. Keep in mind we we're 17, young, TOP physical condition and well taken care of.
    Like I said brother, I just don't trust minor head injury, we lose enuf brothers in uncontrollable bad situations, but if we can attend to a minor situation and be sure, I know I would sleep better. God protect you.....
