That was my thought. That and, what did he keep looking at? He seemed unsure of so many things that when he sped up I knew it had potential for carnage.

I'm slow on dirt, I keep thinking I'm going to lose a spleen.

Dull? No way, looks like some very nice volcanic rocks. Old? Nah, probably less than 20 million years old.

OSP, don't get that camera, it can't stand up to a crash into a rock.

Had a similar accident on my last dirt ride. Front wheel got off track similar to him (due to a rut) and I went head first into a tree at a good clip. Concussion for a week. Dirt just seems so ....out of control to me even at slow speeds. Guess I'm spoiled by traction and responsive string/brakes on the street. Haven't touched my dual sport since.

I've always wanted a dirt bike. Just no where to go.

I read somewhere that he cant wipe his own ass now because he is in adouble arm upper body cast or something or other like that.

For me, it's like riding a big heavy mountain bike that you don't have to pedal. I'm a big chickenshit though; I don't go all that fast.

I know lots of Texans who ride dirt bikes. Of course the reason I know them is because they all come up to Oklahoma to ride our trails.
