I RODE A MOTORCYCLE!!! It's true! I hadn't ridden any trails or motocross in almost a year. I've ridden a bike twice in the past 6 months. After a days worth of ridin' it's clear. I'm out of shape. Big time. After maybe an hours worth of riding (trails mind you, not racing) I was sitting down because I was tired. From me, that's unheard of! I used to be the guy at the local BMX trails that the pro's would say "god man, how do you ride like that for so long without at least stopping and taking a breather?" It's also rather apparent that ... well ... I suck ass haha. Oh man it's a good thing that I was on that bike by myself or I'da been so embarrassed I'd have crashed. I got into a tight section of a trail in the trees and went to downshift and I BACKshifted! Pushed up on the gear shifter rather than down. Yea ... like it was a racebike er something. I mean sure my Garage Built Pro Circuit Honda CR80R was riding great, but it was no MotoGP bike. I'm not sure why I tried to backshift. I recon it had just been that long since I've shifted a motorcycle and my brain was like "well, back in the day we used to do this when we wanted to change to a lower gear". I'm plannin' on going to the Lake Elsinore motocross track this weekend. We'll see if I do, that's like ... half a week away, anything can happen, but I'm set to go there at the moment. I'm totally stoked. I'll actually get to ride on a REAL racetrack again!
