Erik, I hope that you make the right decision about what you want to do.  I run the 30+ class, I would love for a rider of your caliber to compete against.  I know with a person of your skill level I don't have to worry about you taking me out.  It happened to me at dade on sat night.  I couldn't believe that riders of that age make such poor decisions.  Anyway I hope you decide to keep racing even if you are in a laid back class.  You are an asset to the atv racing community...

  P.S. nobody can  make up your mind for you and should'nt try.that should be your decision alone but you should not have to completely give up something you love just slow the pace down and enjoy the ride.

I don't race but I would agree w/above statement & pretty much everyone else's.

The main reason I replied to this is to warn you about pain killer's, I got some friend's who eat 'em like Tic-Tac's, I've seen how they look & feel when they run out of their prescription. Me myself, couldn't let anything get ahold of me like that, not saying that you would 'cause you said you don't like taking them which is good. Just be careful w/ them & maybe just take a break for awhile.
Good Luck w/ whatever you decide to do.

Hey Eric,


    Kevin here I know what you are going though. Its like should I race another year or will this be the year that you don't walk away from the crash? I've raced you to many times to count, but we're not getting any younger. I think I'm done racing quads. I'm selling my bike and getting a side by side (polaris razer). At least it has a roll cage.

See the part where he said "trust me"... you better. 

One of the worst crashes I remember is from landing on another quad.
