Another rider bites the dust

[Pierce]

So out on the new CR250 last night (first proper ride on it) at kimmy's park MX track, last lap of the day hit the double in wrong gear and band kicked nose up too high so i exited the jump mid-air....:jerry:

Hit the ground pretty hard:rolleyes:

Ligament damage to both knees (can't walk at all), broken ankle and big toe is stuffed up big time:baby:

Now know how nasty a 250 stroker can be haha but I still love it:banana: Just gonna have to slowly learn how to ride it compared to the CRF

[soundbeltfarm]

[vifferman]

And did you learn anything from your stunting? :spudwhat:

certainly monster's those bikes haha

I was wearing knee pads BUT seriously considering a pair of knee brace's after this.

Hah yeah Cam she's abit of a graveyard ol' kimmys. Kim said to me the day before "yeah they're loose bikes... just don't break anything!"

[CaMo]

Slap a flywheel weight on it and tame it down a little lol.... I hope I am back up and running to get good use out of my season pass. Otherwise there goes 3 hundy down the drain.:pinch:

the cr poofters club!!! more boogie than the farnm bike eh bro?

[FlangMasterJ]

Sorry to hear.

Knee braces keep the leg from hyper-extending. They don't work to well when a leg is twisted.

[cowpoos]

ouch dude!!! sorry to hear!!

[cheese]

I got a flywheel weight I can sell you. Its a Tjebbie Bruin one and you have to mod your case very slightly, but will tame it down and give you more power. all yours for $100. Cost me $120. They fit straight on the the 01 CR.

[Teava]

I feel your pain mate!!
Same thing happended to me but on the step up, front wheel way up in the air over jumped it and fractured and chipped my heel, and damage to my knee
also, couldnt walk for 4 weeks!! this was in november last year.
I still love Kimmys tho!!:headbang:

[Taz]

I smashed my ankle at Kimmy's 4 years ago an was off work for 3 1/2 months!

[vr4king]

If it makes you feel any better i did my ankle a week ago,I got shunted from behind from a quad then got run over and caught up and dragged by another quad all in about 5 secs.............hate not riding my bike

Damm quad poofters

[Pierce]

vr4king: God mate I bet that ripped your undies (seems bad luck can get worse in a matter of sec's huh) Sorry to hear that brother

HAh thanks telliman (i'd be sour too if I rode Kawasiki, haha jokes mate) ;-)

Hey cheese I'd be keen on a flywheel weight but not one that needs modifying (I wouldn't think I would have the means- toolwise anyway)

IT sounds like the step-up there caused a bit of greif in it'stime... Camo did his injury there christmas eve, another fulla broke his leg there boxing day when I was out and Teava too. God I know i've bailed hard on it twice in my time out there

[4stroke]

fk bro thats no good at all, get those titanium bone man they dont break lol
i think it bad enuf not being able to ride due to waiting on parts lewt alone not bein able to ride due to broken bone, that sux, broke my collar bone in 3 places and dislocated my ac joint once that taught me to slow down lol bloody trees lol
get betta bro

hmmm... yea I reckon its not got enough of a jump there. You gotta go quite fast then the instant you land you gotta be on the anchors to take the corner or else eat dust. Just a bit of a lip would be nice so you land with not soo much speed.

oh well :laugh:

[Taz]

I did my ankle on the drop off in 04 on my YZF250. Jumped too far landed real hard. Didn't fall off but shattered my ankle upon landing. Hurt too. Rode back to the car park and got my mate to drive me to pukekohe A&E as that was closer to home :) from there it was off to hospital for 9 days and 2 operations. then 3 1/2 months of rehab. Still cant walk right. But have started trail riding again and can kickstart my KDX fine.

[Buddy L]

well looks like your have lots of time on your hands, to work out the jetting problem then???
sorry to hear the bad news. Sucks not being able to do anything
hopefully ACC treats you nice

[dammad1]

You knew there was a reason I stayed away from motocross tracks! Ouch.

Is that an Ohlins setup you're running in that pic?

[clmintie]

Nah, looks like a Greaves leading link........Best foot forward and all that.

Heal quickly mate........:whistle:

Nice long kickstarter on a KDX, eh?
