WELL PEOPLE, I'M NOT SURE ANYONE IS GOING TO READ THIS BUT HERE IT IS. AS WE ALL KNOW THE 9-11 TRAGEDY CLAIMED LIVES OF SELFLESS HEROES DOING WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN (HELPING OTHERS). UNBEKNOWNST TO ALOT OF IGNORANT RIDERS OUT IN MOTHER G, WE HAVE OUR OWN LOCAL HEROES THAT ATTEMPT TO SAVE LIVES AND HELP VICTIMS IN THE MOST INNOCENT ACCIDENTS TO BLATENT DRUNK RIDING. ON BUSY WEEKENDS OUT IN THE DUNES, THEIR SHIFTS ARE SOMETIMES WITHOUT SLEEP AND MAYBE EAT WHAT THEY CAN SCAM OFF OF HOSPITAL PERSONEL. MY LITTLE SISTER IS ONE OF THEM, SHE IS A PARAMEDIC FOR BRAWLEY AND SHARES HER TRAGIC STORIES WITH ME SO THAT I MIGHT SPREAD THE WORD IN HOPES TO PREVENT FUTURE MISHAPS. ALONG WITH THE STORIES, HER TEAM AND MANY OTHER PARAMEDICS THAT RACE TO OUR DUNES DETERMINE WHY AND HOW THEY OCCURED. FOR ALL OF YOU REBELIOUS, UNTOUCHABLES THAT THINK FLAGS DON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE, YOU ARE WRONG, IT IS NOT AN OPINION. IF YOUR TOY IS MOVING IN THE DUNES AND IS NOT IMMOBILE IT WILL BE SEEN AT ONE POINT BY ANOTHER RIDER. OBVIOUSLY IF YOU ARE LAUNCHING OFF A LIP WITHOUT A SPOTTER OR DON'T KNOW THE UNWRITTEN RULE ON HOW TO RIDE THE DUNES AT AN ANGLE, VISUALS ARE LIMITED. SO SPEND THE 15 BUCKS AND THINK ABOUT SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOUR PRECIOUS BEER FUNDS. AS FOR THE ONES THAT DRINK ALCOHOL AND THINK YOU "RIDE BETTER" OR THAT YOUR REFLEXES AND SENSES ARE JUST AS SHARP REGARDLESS CUZ YOU "DON'T GET WASTED", EXPECT THE MOST HEART WRENCHING GUILT YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE WHEN YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PARALYZING, COMATOSING, BREAKING A LIMB, OR TAKING A CHILDS LIFE THAT WAS IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME. I DON'T ASK MY SISTER TO TELL ME HOW THE WEEKEND WENT ANYMORE CUZ PEOPLE AREN'T LEARNING, WE ARE SUPPOSE TO LEARN FROM OTHERS MISTAKES, WHY IS THAT SO HARD? BEFORE I FORGET, I KNOW ALOT OF YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS BUT MY SISTER ARRIVED @ A SCENE WHERE THE FATHER HAD REMOVED HIS SONS HELMET AFTER HE WAS HIT.........HIS SON WOULD HAVE LIVED IF HE WOULD HAVE LEFT IT ON. THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT OF YOUR NECK WILL KILL YOU IF IT IS BROKEN. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE A HELMET FOR ANY REASON UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. SO I HOPE I OPENED SOME EYES AND MINDS HERE AND I ONLY HAVE THE BEST INTENTIONS FOR EVERYONES (ESPECIALLY CHILDREN) SAFETY OUT IN MOTHER G. I WISH YOU THE BEST TIMES OF YOUR LIFE WHERE I ALSO LOVE TO RIDE AND GET AWAY. BUT THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE A RANGER, PARAMEDICE OR LAW ENFORCING PERSONS, THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU STICK YOUR NOSE UP AT THEM OR REMARK NEGATIVELY ABOUT THEM, THEY ARE HERE FOR US AND BECUASE OF OUR LACK OF SAFETY ACTIONS. JUST IN CASE SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO ARGUE,,,,THIS WAS TO INFORM AND ENLIGHTEN, NOT OFFEND OR CREATE HAVOC.

yes yes i totally agree. my dad is paramedice and when we see someone crash and it is really bad he will tell them not to move there neck... most people dont understand just how easy you can die, please people, put a flag on and wear ALL your gear!! i dont ever want to her that someone form the board died cause he or she wasnt wearing a helmet or didnt have a flag on

I didn't have a flag on when I crashed.

don't ruin a good point with belittling statements....it's... are you ready for this.... "OFFENSIVE".... oh my god. I actually said it. SLAPPY help, the whitecoats are taking me over.....

I only broke my flag, axle and both left side tires when I careashed. Oh yea, 135 fine for no flag, broke my wallet..
