what holds you back? money or ballzz

The first time I ever went out west I was a junior in high school durring basketball season, and there was plenty of stuff I passed up because I wasn't ready to miss basketball because of a blown knee, wrecked back, broken bones. I went out my freshman year of college where I wasn't involved in any sports, and I would ask my dad if he thought I could make it, and he would look at me and say, "I dunno, can you?" It was night and day difference. My first 2 times out west were on rental sleds too, I had the insurance so I wasn't worried about wrecking a sled, but the first time I was worried about being hurt for basketball, the 2nd time I was all out. Then this season went back out on my own sled, still in college, not worried about being hurt for a sport, and I hit everything I wanted to. I couldn't climb as high as I wanted, but I hit the whatever jumps I wanted to and dropped the drops I wanted to and didn't think twice.

I have to make it home in one peice to my two year olds "daddy dance". My riding style changed alot when he came along. I do miss garage time with the boys fixing broken parts though.

There is so much truth to that. I used to be fearless, and try anything. Since my son came along, I am a lot more content not doing the crazy things. I used to sky dive, and I have no desire at all to jump out of a plane anymore. Money also plays a big part. I don't want to screw up the sled, and I can't afford to get injured and miss work. I guess getting older has something to do with it as well. My back and knees just can't take the abuse like they used to. My ballz are still just as big, I have just wisened up.

Primary factors for me

Not holding me back, they push me to think bigger than myself!!!

Money for the most part, if i didn't have to worry about destroying my sled and thus ending my season i think i would try a lot dumber lines and things i don't usually go for now.

Fear. I have no fear when i am climbing (unless sled is standing straight up in the air which happens quiet a bit) but the fear factor comes in when coming back down. Im not really worried about the money and the balls are there is i want to use them its just the fear factor.

Ballz i'd have to say. My sled is insured so ride it like you stole it

Riding is expensive enough without breaking your equipment or your body. I feel very comfortable riding my 04 mostly stock REV---no one challenges my old sled and I've been there and done all that and now I don't give a $hit. Oh, and to "be old and wise, first you must be young and stupid"

Neither. A complete lack of talent and physical ability limits where I go.

money...if I could afford to buy a new sled every time I wrecked and didn't have to worry about missing work if injured then I would definitely ride harder.

x2!

i would have to say mainly just a fear of riding downtime. I'm usually just pinner everywhere and just go to town on anything i see with my phazer, if i flopped it over i tipped it up and kept riding. if it bent i bent it back etc. Now that i the apex with all the lite weight parts i ahve holded myself back because i know could easily fold my ts suspension with one hit, just finished doctorin the sled today with new rails and fixed some twisted skid parts. but done for season as the track and drivers are toast. I too am in school but i ride hard and they way i want to while i'm young. i don;t worry about money, if i break **** i just put in some overtime make some extra cash and fix it when i can.
