i blew my dt up ... but i fixed it.... Then i crashed it.... but i didnt fix it right and 2 scouser's come in the middle of the night and left me with a working bike
Doubt the bike will be damaged from that. Mate had a KTM 65 SX that was flipped by an adult. The dude knocked himself out and had to go hospital, the consequences of no helmet.
MX'ers are sturdy bikes. If it's damaged it'll be a scuff or two on the plastics and a bent / snapped brake lever.
Also can hear the genuine concern in Victor's voice at the end of that clip. Least you're not like most people that'd laugh their head off.
Show him my thread with the KX 80. Show him my gravel rash, that was done on tarmac. Imagine that on stones like his riding on.
Of course, it's his choice to wear the padding. The full gear isn't cheap. I'm still buying my whole outfit.
I've seen gravel rash first hand and felt it. Get a lighter and hold it on your skin that's what it's like once it begins healing or straight after the adrenaline kicks in. When I came off, I jumped straight to my feet and ran home (I wasn't far away) came back and grabbed the bike, to my surprise it wasn't gone, hah. Only realised I was in a bad shape when I began stripping off at home and saw the state, then straight in the shower and scrubbed thoroughly with a flannel. Nearly passed out from the shock, family said I went white as a ghost. Wasn't really the fact I was scared, it was the pain and shock of crashing.
