Broke my foot last year

I'm not sure why I didn't put this on here before but on July 8th 2006 I went with my friend Britt to a track in Lexington Georgia called Rollin Haven and it was an awesome track but because it was s hot the track was pretty dry and dusty. Well I rode around and got used to the track and some of the jumps, then I started trying some of the other jump. Well there was this triple right out of a 180 corner and  had been doubling it and I wanted to try and triple it. Well I tried it once and cased it but oh well no big deal, I decided to try it again later  I came out of the corner, had to short shift to 3rd and dumped the clutch. Back then I didn't know how to seat bounce jumps so I hit it standing up and landed right on top of the landing and it bounced me off and turned my bike sideways. I didn't have the sense to bail so I held on close my eyes and thought "this is gonna hurt". Well it did I ended up getting a concussion and breaking 3 of the bones in my left foot. I wasn't able to ride until Mid October so I was out for about 3 months and I didn't race until mid November. I did a couple more races on my 02 and it just wasn't up to par with the other bikes so my mom got me my 07 YZ250F.

Got something to say?
