Ah you think it's fun but it will try to kill you!!!
Crossers always do!!!
When I was young and daft rather than just daft
I thought "that looks like fun" I messed around with field bikes, I'm not bad on a road bike and I was a pretty handy push bike racer off road (and on).
How hard can it be??
Broken hand, ah that's nowt
Broken knee, now that f***in hurt so my short forray into the world of the hard case nutter bas***s was over.

And that's another thing!
Typical motorcrossers conversation:
"And his foot was facing the wrong way behind his head" "a pissed myself laughing"
Not good not good

OR!!
When you've been pile driven in to the dirt, feel punch drunk and like you've been ran over by a truck!!!,
Your mate mate says:
"I've got a spare clutch lever in the van"
"F*ck off phone me an ambulance"
