My good day at track to a trip to the ER

[chrisroberts916]

I finally got to take my Z to the track for this first time after rebuild. Had a great day going, one of the bigger jumps was a 40' double.

and here is a picture of how the landing should look

and here is in mid air, looking good, right

well I don't remember anything after the base of the jump. My brother summed it up that I was 2" to low or 2" to short. Here is where I landed, actually the staff rolled me out of the middle after the bike that was behind me landed with in inches. You can see him trying to stop the riders.

I was out cold. 36 years of riding and I've never been knocked out, by far the hardest I've landed. I did get back on and ride of the track after three failed attempts at standing.

4 hour in the ER.
Can't wait till next week to do it again!

Dirt bikes are lighter and fly a lot further. I was clearing it before the last time. I caught the bike that was in front of me in the turn before the jump and had to let off a lil bit. I was hitting it in fourth pinned but I just didn't get it that time. In hindsight I see what happened. It's not going to deter me from doing it again. It wasn't a race and if doesn't feel right don't do it. I should of rolled the first jump that lap.

I should of learned this a while ago. Thats when all my crashes were really. Just keep that inmind cruze the track first then hammer down.
