I cried like a baby when my sister was involved in a car accident. People in a Jeep Grand Cherokee ran a stop sign and hit the bug my sister was riding passenger in, she dies 2 times on the scene, saw her in the hospital as they loaded her in a chopper to fly out, didnt even look like her at the time. So I know how you feel. Glad to know he is ok, gave death the finger.


Another time I was scared to tears was when I got shot in the head with a nail gun, lol! Got pics to prove it too!!!

good to hear your brother is ok
yeah he was having a seizure, we took a look at his helmet yesterday and got a crack in it and the foam inside was smashed, thats when you know you hit hard. It was a really good helmet to, Fox V3.

Damn man, thats crazy. If you didn't cry somethings wrong, there are alot of people that have no business having a car or license.

Yeah I am more cautious than he is, he was just trying a jump too soon. He should have done a couple of lap's and cleared everything else before he tried that one.

Also we are probably going to Ocotilo some time next month I'll let you know when I find the exact date.

It's even worse when he's a younger sibling that you feel that you should watch over.

Yeah after I found out he was okay I felt happy that he was alive, like it was a new thing or something. The guy I took my bike to at Schmidt Performance said he had 9 concussions, and he broke his neck, but this guy was a pro at one point.

Yeah, your brother is the lucky one..Glad to hear he is ok..

My brothers wife died of cancer before my eyes and age 35, and a high school friend basically dropped dead before me from a rare disease... My best friend growing up was riding on the back of another friends motorcycle and was waving to some chicks, the friend riding the bike suddenly floored it and my best friends flew off the back and slammed the back of his head onto the road... Severe brain damage, and is still fucked up today many years later....It kills me to see him today in his current condition.. I can barely recognise him and or comunicate with him now.. He is not the same guy...He functions just barely.. This guy was so funny and witty too before the accident.... It blows me away to think one day you can be around and just fine and the next you may not...

Live life to the fullest boys and girls...

Enjoy!







And before any one asks... We were not messing around with the guns, one was defective, and the interlock on the gun was broke, so at times, you could fire the thing in semi fashion. Well, it decided to start doing it like crazy while hanging some AC cans, and thats the result. I though I broke my jaw (cause my mouth was stuck shut) until I fealt my head and came to the understanding there was a 16P nail in my head hahahah . Needless to say, I was in shock, but still managed to drive to the hospital. My cheek bone was like "broke" and my jaw muscles were all severed up in my temple or what ever, so I couldnt eat hard foods, lol. Ohh, and I had a slight concussion! I cried ike a baby in the hospital for a while when they explained to me (before the scans came back) that they didnt know how severe it was, and that I could be dead, or retarded after they yanked the thing out. Doc said my head was as hard as a rock, and deflected it enough for it to not make contact with my brain. Cool huh? Ohh, and the only reason why I took that second job (AC work) was to fund the finishing of my damn 383 lt1 crap I had going at the time.
