Concern: No concern with the riding aspect: K9 or BVD I am not. My concern is where else in my life this vast, vast, vast gulf between perception and reality may exist. The possibilities are limitless but my ability to discern is, well, you know, not so good.

How old are you??? How old are your kids??? I know that I can't jump as high or far as I use to and I will admit, the last time I hit a jump for big air (at the track, I was squirly, and only found out later that no one jumped that set of doubles, not even the 17 year olds, of course the following week, I pulled a muscle in my back & found out that my blood pressure was through the roof, (currently back up there) and had to take some time off of everything. Just have fun, that is what it is all about.
