Hey all , I found an old video of mine from the early 90’s. I had just bought a used liquid cooled RM125 and got my buddy to film me .
Then later I bought a new KX250 and put those sheet metal screws on the tires and played on the ice .
Unfortunately the vhs to digital conversion didn't help whatsoever, as it could have been dubbed much cleaner in the day, but it didn’t go well . I no longer have the tapes to redo it, but you get the idea .
I broke my tailbone on the first jump .




Question , I changed my screen name and have a different account now , srs by accident,as I forgot all about this account years ago .
I no longer have the email address that’s associated with this old YouTube account . Is there any way for me to merge the two accounts, or get this one deleted ?

Tailbone injuries are brutally painful. Rode dirtbikes/raced MX most of my life. Over the years I have broke my back, had several broken collarbones, had a broken wrist and blew my knee out so bad I had to get a knee replacement.
Out of all those, bruising my tailbone from a fall off similar to yours was by far the most painful.

Yep, my DRZ blew my whole fkn knee out and i was only going 10mph. Fuuuarrrkk...couldn't imagine if i had an RM. I'm gonna need a knee replacement soon because of it

You oldcels should buy a mountain bike for cardio GAINS.

You'd love it.

I see some old farts on the trail usually out by me - typically ex-motocrossers.

mountain biking is FUN AF.

EDIT: op is in BC... the world destination for MTB.

It doesn’t take much . I started using all the body armour,but couldn’t afford knee braces .
Went down really hard in 4th gear on my KX250 in the woods tore my knee out . Still feel it to this day

I used to ride in the Crowsnest Pass Alberta , it’s just west of the BC border . The riding is incredible there, and I realize it’s great , but had no idea the editors from Dirt Bike magazine were riding there one time, and claimed it was the best off road riding they’ve encountered.
Wish I would have known they were there at the time , as it would have been nice to hook up .
It’s not allowed now,but at one time we could go from point A to point B on our dirt bikes . We had to have public liability and a plate , but no signal lights etc as these were strictly dirt bikes .
Miss those days doing wheelies on Main Street
