I was just looking at her Rock The Gear web site a few days ago after seeing the GIF that lead me to the YouTube video... I'm pretty impressed that she made something so positive out of that really bad experience.

I was able to read about half of her story this morning......I will read the rest as time allows. It is an impressive story, and it probably happens more often than we realize. I need to look into getting some better gear....some gloves, a better helmet, etc.

yer' probably wrong...

I managed to run over my own foot once... Huh

I ran over my own leg once, when my foot slipped off the peg in turn 1 @ BlackHawk Farms Raceway. Almost ripped me off the frighten bike! Went off track, but I did save it! Tongue

The only time I ever ran over my own leg....was around 1975. I was over at a friends house, and a neighbor came by with a Honda ATC90 I believe it was called. It was the first 3 wheeled affair from Honda with those big donut tires. I tried to ride the thing and everytime I tried to turn a corner the thing would hop and bounce and refuse to turn.....and at one point I tried to put my foot out while attempting a turn and I guess I forgot there was a bug bulgy tire right there behnd my foot/leg. Luckily I as going slow and there were no injuries. It turns out that they had a locked rear axle and the only way to turn was to lean to the outside of the corner and get the inside wheel to lift up off the gound.....something that was almost impossible to do for someome that had been riding on 2 wheels for 8 years...I was programmed "NOT" to lean to the outside.
