first of all thank you all for the compliments... and secondly this happened exactly a year ago...
thirdly, I was only warming up, that wasn't even my main riding practice..
fourthly, I always wear gloves, helmet, and knee pads... in the winters yup I wear a jacket... or if I'm trying a new trick... or performing a show..
otherwise... your right I was an idiot for not wearing a jacket..
however.. in that specific crash, I didn't get ANY roadrash... I stabbed a hole in my elbow and snapped the wrist... if I was wearing a jacket I may have not gotten the hole in my elbow as deep ... but there is definitely no way I would've prevented the wrist...
and lastly, I only wrecked because I came down on dirt instead of payment and the bike instead low sided me and then high sided...
When i'm not warming up I hardly ever do high speed tricks anymore... I'm usually going 5mph or less.. (unless I'm doing a stoppie or acrobatics.) so the probability of getting roadrash is slim... unless you land some funky way... and your right there's still no excuse... when it's wicked hot out... it's hard to get me to wear a jacket... and yes I do like as much mobility as possible...
and I don't drag race anymore.. I got my license in 2008 and did it that year, but didn't continue it.. as my love is more for wheelies...
but even that.. is now just a hobby... and my focus is med school now... so you will only see me here and there now a days..
thanks for the support though
Keep it Rising!!
anyways just wanted to set it straight before rumors/assumptions continue
