[ Ссылка ] Motorbike injuries and mind games. Many riders experience this after a serious motorbike crash. You have a major injury, and it spooks you. The moment you hit some harder terrain the anxiety kicks in. Welcome to Cross Training Adventure, we are into all things dual sport and adventure on the east coast of Australia. Sometimes it happens the moment you start riding and you can't relax and enjoy the ride anymore. You mean beach mints for motorbike injuries! Get back on that dirt bike, princess. I definitely experienced this with my spine fracture a few years ago. More about that later. Riding buddies will often provide very unhelpful advice like this. Check out our reviews of various adventure bikes and dual sport bikes. You want pain pills? Oversize ovaries available for women too. But wait there's more.

If you like dual sport riding in Australia then you might like our adventure riding vids. It affects everyone different, and it doesn't matter how tough you think you are. Many of us know war veterans who are seriously tough characters but have wrestled with PTSD. Here are some typical symptoms. How often does it happen? PTSD occurs in 2.6% cases of non-threatening motor vehicle accidents. It almost doubles for life-threatening accidents. If you might have PTSD it's important to get help as soon as possible. But most of us won't get full-blown PTSD after a serious injury. But was the anxiety a good thing? Keen on adventure riding in Australia? Check out our vids. Unpleasant, but I just kept reminding myself to accept this was a natural reaction, and talked about it with friends until it went away. Lasting effects? Anxiety kicks in with any steep descents nowadays. When I think there's a serious risk I just look for a way around. In my early 60s was it time to just stop seeking those challenges? My whole body tends to just break instead of bounce nowadays. The good news? After a year of riding I finally worked out a balance of challenge versus risk that I'm happy with. Two weeks in hospital and nine months off the motorbike. For quite a few weeks I had recurring thoughts about how close I had come to being paralysed. But I was surprised at how long it look. vAnd of course my Growacet medication helped too. Scared of that hill climb? Dry your eyes and get into it with Growacet. But we can still experience a few of the effects - or none at all. For example, I fractured four bones in my foot when the DR650's rear wheel slid out and the entire weight of the motorbike crushed my left boot. And this was a high quality motocross boot! Effects of the accident? Nothing really. I remember talking about the mind games going on in my head. I usually enjoy riding some gnarly terrain, but I was shying away due to the anxiety. Just a reminder to always wear the most protective boots possible in rough terrain. Warning, may cause cancer, crappy pivot turns, flatulence, bad breath, man boobs, and death. What about you guys? Have you had a serious injury? Did it have any effect on you at the time? Where there any lasting effects? We are keen to hear your stories. Next? I was riding too fast on a fire trail. I came over a crest into a series of muddy ruts and down I went. A shattered lower leg, two weeks in hospital, and a titanium rod inserted. I did have minor flashbacks for several weeks about trying to use sticks and vines to splint my rubbery leg. The spine fracture. I tried to u-turn on a steep hill and the motorbike bounced out of control and I went over the handlebars and was knocked unconscious. T3, T4 and T5 compression fractures. If I think there's a medium risk, I will 'bulldog' or walk the motorbike down. This is one of our three channels, there's also a Cross Training Trials channel, and a Cross Training Enduro channel. So called dual sport riding reviews are just glossy ads nowdays. All we are saying is there's also the budget option for adventure riding. And it won't hold you back. Why? We reckon it's 80% the rider and 20% the bike. So the Cross Training Adventure focus is just get out there and have fun on two wheels. Instead of obsessing over the latest blinged out Beemer, which tyres to fit or spending a fortune on your suspension or billet alloy gas cap. So most of our adventure riding vids will feature the much loved bush pig, the Suzuki DR650. What else? Cross Training Adventure actively avoids sponsorship. Or don't subscribe to our Cross Training Adventure riding channel. The main thing is get out and ride while you can with dual sport riding or Adventure riding in Australia, Canada, Vietnam, Romania and beyond! So check out Cross Training Adventure.
