A lot of really sensible and genuine comments here. Proud of all of us real riders who maintain self-preservation!
You can simply stop taking risks. I’ve had plenty fun on a bike without taking unnecessary risks. Much love much respect. …..Tom
正直なところいつも危なっかしいなと思って観ていました。周りにMTBの天才が多い影響か、自らの能力を超えた事をやっているように見受けられます。
下手な私が言うのも何ですが、基本から学び直した方がいいでしょう。29erなどどんな自転車でもウィリーとバニーホップは自在に出来るようにしたいです。ダートジャンプとトライアルはやっておいた方がいいでしょう。
ダートジャンプは小さなコブから。勢いだけで跳ぶのではなく、自分で踏み切って跳ぶ事を覚えましょう。
トライアルはスクールがあれば入る方がベター。何をしたら自転車がどう動くのか理論と実践で身につけられます。身長的に20インチがベター。絶対にバックプロテクターを必ず着けて下さい。
取り返しのつかないケガをする前に、長く楽しくMTBを続けられるように数年間基本をやり直してはいかがでしょうか?
I have been set back too by crashing injuries… time helps… it’s slow, but you will be confident if you take baby steps. Good luck and stay in your comfort zone for now.
i have 4 concussions from bmx and have had a few huge crashes doing mtb but I still love bikes
Yuka – I am 50. You are a much much better biker than I will ever be. Your risk tolerance does change over time. I started biking 3 years ago and have had 3 bad crashes. Last week had a bad crash skiing at Sunshine Village and cracked my ribs real bad. Am seeing first hand what can happen and the long road to recovery. Do not want to break my neck.
Do what makes you happy. Don’t break yourself. It is not worth it. But stay frisky. One thing I like about biking is that at my age – most people don’t get scared anymore.
I have skied black diamonds. Snowboard. Scuba dived alone to 80 feet. But NOTHING equals the ability to be seriously injured like mountain biking. Haha.
All recoveries suck..we getting older
I think this is one of my favorite videos from you. Straightforward, painfully honest, a little bit funny and of course, interesting. Curious to see where you go from here.
Well done, Yuka. It’s tough to come back from a bad fall. Of course, the body needs to recover but so does the mind. It will take an amount of time for you to stop projecting the pessimism that you developed in the crash. What’s great about you is that you are already getting back into the saddle. Time is your friend, Yuka, and I’m sure you have the best wishes of us all
Recommend looking into the Mobius X8 wrist brace…when I snapped my radius & ulna @the wrist I purchased one of these to help get me back on the bike sooner & protect the less-than-100% range of motion joint if I was to fall again. I also wear it for motocross and it really helps. The brace was designed for MX and top-level racers like Ken Roczen who have had some pretty nasty previous injuries. He wears them because they work.
I’m sorry you got hurt. Don’t be a weiny and just get back out there.
We miss you and your adventures Yuka- heal up and see ya soon!
I’ve been riding MTB since 1984 and have had my fair share of super dynamic crash and burns, I don’t bounce as high or heal as fast as I used to. I realized that when fun exceeds control by just a bit, painful things can happen. As you’ve discovered, just being on a bike in the woods can be a joy, even with less adrenaline, so give your body time to heal up completely, ride within yourself while you’re getting there, enjoy the 森林浴. Riding a bike is just like riding a bike, your body remembers how to do things, just give it some time. Oh, and it helps to have some suitable motivational healing music. This seems oddly appropriate… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGlGfa_J0hE
I’m 57, 20 years ago I loved cycling hill/forest trails as a good workout on the up and a reward mixed with fast decision making on the down I would definitely have fallen into the ‘average’ group. I watched younger and fitter guys go faster and take greater risks with respect, but I knew my limits.
After watching such a display, I was just getting rolling to get back to the car traversing a gentle slope, not doing anything fancy when the front wheel slipped sideways on a hidden wet, muddy smooth stone. The bike just flipped out from under me and I landed heavily on my side with my elbow in my ribs. Helmet saved my head. Unable to breath for about a minute and with great difficulty and excruciating pain thereafter, suspected 1-3 broken ribs. 30 years ago, I might have bounced been a bit winded and carried on…
Since then I have had the joints at my sternum and spine increasingly disjointed. The broken ribs have healed in a bent-in shape and the joints are wearing out of place and have to ‘crack’ them front and back regularly to relieve the discomfort. As I get older it gets worse.
It takes just a moment to totally f**k it up and the results can affect the rest of your life, long or short. More importantly, as you get older the stakes get higher exponentially as permanent damage is more and more likely and recovery is less and less effective.
You hit a peak in your 30’s where fitness and skill are maximised but then the odds as above start to work against you, but your expectations only ever increase. This is a recipe for disaster.
Your ‘mentally still broken’ is actually serving you well as it is resetting your expectations and forcing you to re-evaluate the changing risk profile associated with age, you would do well to listen to that if you want good mobility in advancing years, rather than trying to find ways to suppress it.
I’m just glad I was not paralysed.
Slowly, steady, one small victory at a time! GWS!
Thanks Yuka for sharing your journey. You are an inspiration!
Come to La Quinta and ride the New trails without FREEZING Yuka!
Stay positive and stay grateful!
Just think what else you can do as an exercise. Likely zilch. So just ride. 😂
