mr lee Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Not sure if you will have seen this or not but motocross mag has the video of Mike Alessi's nasty crash. Alessi sustained fractures to both scapulas, broken ribs and a bruised lung. OUCH! Makes for cringeworthy viewing. http://www.motocrossactionmag.com/ME2/dirm...BCEE2394595CC65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I moved on too from mx. Went down the road of trials but non competitive, then jumped over to hare and hounds and enduro. Loved it until I broke my back.

chippy18 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Just about managing to keep my expert class, but finding it takes longer to recover from the meetings at my age, especially if i do take a knock. Currently riding 08 Honda CRF 450R. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) Used to have a CR500, but no longer riding. My lads rode AMCA until 2 years ago. Eldest was in Open Experts and broke his back. Youngest was Open Senior - broke his leg - 13 weeks in plaster and shoulder - plated, but plate popped out of the bone and started poking through his skin. Plate now removed and both lads retired. Love the sport, but most of their accidents over the years were due to people who couldn't set up a circuit. Silly angles on the face of jumps and extra jumps which contravened AMCA rules.
