    I wasn't going to tell this part, because it's pretty embarassing, but
    what the hey ...

    One of the guys told me later that I cursed like a drunken sailor
    after the fall ... used some pretty graphic language.  I never talk
    like that, and there was a girl of about 14 in the group.  I don't
    remember that part at all, though, so he might just have been pulling
    my chain.


    Joe~

    My brother does motocross and cross-trains with BMX.  He was knocked out bad last year at a home-built BMX place that is now 100+ "custom" built "homes" (those cookie-cutter things, with no back yard, or front yard!). Anyways, he took a huge soil sample, bloodied his nose up bad, AND was out for a good 3 minutes.  When he woke up, boy did he WAKE UP!  He stood up, and just went nuts.
    He started yelling at everyone in sight...didn't want any body to touch him, look at him, cussed us all out, and went for one guy with his fists!  And this is my "little" brother...he knew some words I've never even heard of!!  He was 14 at the time....and says he doesn't remember a thing! =)

    To make it all horse related....I've yet to break anything off of a horse, or get a concussion.  But I guess at 16 years I've still got plenty of time to look "forward" to those things!
