a lot of time in practice and racing. You get used to the bike moving around under you. They do run over each other. they get hurt from time to time, but amazingly more often than not, they get back on the bike and keep riding... We have 5 ambulances at our track at a race and sometimes we have to stop if they are all gone at once. Not all from track injurys, just that we use all local volunteer ambulances from 4 towns nearby. They use it for practice for their EMT people... They get a fair amount of practice at broken arms, legs, ribs femurs, and wrist....They all where chest protectors, Helmets, gloves, boots, now most wear neck braces also....googles. It really is amazing more do not get hurt more than they do. If you ride it long enough, hard enough, your gonna get hurt. Just goes with the sport... What helps also is the dirt is soft. Most worrysome for use is another rider landing on another.. or casing a big jump. Casing will usually break your back.... We have changed out jumps to that casing a bike is less likely... Our track is more technical...I will get a video up of your track... We are a lot of jumps, where you are always setting up for the next jump and lot of corners with tigh turns....Even the pro's say our track is more technical than what they are used to on the pro circuit. Ours is a mix of outdoor motocross and indoor supercross. Indoor super cross is very high steep jumps and tigh turns or what they call studder bumps...These can bee 15 0r so in a run, 2 to 5 feet high, one after there other. That fast guys will hit them flat out and just skim the tops of them. Takes a serious set to learn how to do it right... The new bikes handle it well, the older bikes never did that well.... I'll dig up a super cross video and show you.... Hmmmmmmmmmm, let me thing, I think I have one of Bubba Stewart doing in. Black kid that can ride....Yet, he got hurt about 4 months ago, broken wrist and is just getting back on the bike....
If you can watch if full size screen, click on clip, then again to go full screen...awesome clip....
Here ya go...I found it...Watch this kid... He is making enough money, to build 3 tracks you will see in the movie, build a house next to it, all in florida...Watch him ride the jumps, whoops etc...He will lay this bike over on the side and right it....He will be at our race this weekend.. He started riding again last week at Unadilla in New York... Kid is a natural.... This clip is impressive...
