You guys are missing the biggest revelation of all this ..... Mike has a girl friend. Just kidding. Just to throw another perspective out there, I would give my left @#$ if my son could have run even a lap on any day in any conditions. Consider yourself, child or friend lucky that they are healthy enough to throw their leg over a bike and race. After 5 years of living motocross, it is a major disappointment not to see your child doing what he lives to do. Once they race MX and get hooked, their is no substitute. Reid is racing karts and winning, but it is not the same. Unfortunately, he has had 9 broken bones in those 5 years of MX and although everything else has healed fine, he is not yet strong enough (weak core) to ride a bike. He goes to sleep every night dreaming of being back at the track with his friends. He wakes up every morning wondering why he gets hurt from his one crash per year when others crash harder and more often and walk away. I have to tell him it is just the way it is and there is nothing anyone can do about it. He can't even stand to go and watch a race as it makes the whole MX withdrawal issue worse (we are working on this and hope to at least get out to a race this Fall to see everyone).

So, the next time you complain about a track (we are very lucky to have a facility such as HMXP in our State), the conditions or a lack of laps, please take a moment and think about how luck you are to be able to be participating in this great sport.
