At the age of 15 years old the sports has been good. However, the injurys can set you back a intire season. In Oct. 2008 in Texas @ a Anena Cross Event I broke my foot, Heel, tib and fib. Out for 5 months the heel was very slow in healing. 3rd race back from Oct. injury went down @ a Qualifier in LakeWood Colorado, Shattered my colarbone requiring sugery with plates and screws. Came back in late July. Trying to get the endurance and speed back up.. Did a couple Cycle City Promotion AX in New Mexico. Several 1st and 3rd place finishes. In the Amatures. Local in Colorado 1st and 2nd place finishes. I still feel the injurys each time I drop my foot of go down.. I don't think you ever heel in this sport. I think some days you just feel better.
