The Day of the Crash



Tuesday 3/13/07>>

That morning I woke up ready to kick some butt...it was practice day at the GNC Final at Oak Hill mx park. I was third practice and pro's were first, so my mom made me some pancakes and eeg's and I went out and watched, it was really foggy that morning. So i went down to the starting gate to line up for practice and I was pumped because Oak Hill is one of my favorite tracks. The guy pointed me off to go, finally i get to ride, the track was a little muddy because of the fogg but that doesn't bother me at all, if anything i love the mud. The Oak Hill track has a lot of whoop sections, I love whoops, well there this really long set of whoops that you have to jump through so i was going triple triple triple triple, and one time when i was going through them the mud caught my front tire and i went down it was kinda of a dorky crash but i just jumped up and kept going.I was about 10 min into the practice, and there is another whoop sectoin right after the set I just crashed in 5 min. before. They are kinda tricky you have to wheelie in to them ,and they go up hill, there called a dragonback. So I was going through them just like I had been and i got a little sketchy and my front wheel hit a whoop and I herd a crack and my  shoulder popped out[I didn't even crash] so i stopped on the next whoop and just sat there it hurt so bad but it popped back in.One of my good buddies that work for a magazine company seen me and ran over to me and he was like wtf why did you stop???? I told him what happen and what hurt and he said I disloacated my shoulder, he's a x medic. I was so upset that this happen, my hole familey was so bumbed. so i didn't get to race and i had to watch the rest of the week and help my dad out because he raced too. well i will give you all a update as soon as i know when i can ride.    >>
