Thanks Kirt. Dealing with an injury now, and really the hardest part is not getting back as soon as I can. I keep 'rushing' my recovery, but that seems to make it take longer. Personally, I struggle with the metal/emotional aspect of not being able to ride, mostly because it's my escape, so being able to really rest is truly difficult.
Thanks for the insight. Injuries suck, and learning how to recover faster just means getting back out there faster.

I've realized over the years that when I took a break from something, I got better at it when I came back and I enjoyed it more without the need to do stress. It often takes repeating the problem many times to come to the realization you're doing it wrong. You are on the right path to figuring out how to heal because you recognize doing it the wrong gets you nowhere. When i started to realize my errors in healing I began to make more of a effort to chill each time I got hurt. I also realized that it wasn't exactly the bike riding that made my body happy, it was the exercise, my mind is the one hooked to the bike. Finding other ways to take up that energy will satisfy the body so you can deal with your mind. Good luck on the healing and take that time!

This was great. Would love to see more from other riders, or other sports!

I wonder how much of Kirt’s rest is a mental thing. He still stays active in the garden, but declines other social obligations... maybe he’s more at peace in the garden or pulling weeds in the lawn and THAT is what makes the difference?

Yes, I've notice life seems to go by slower when you're doing less stressful things!

My favorite ice cream eating stuntman. Keep doing what you are doing and proving that being in our 40's is still pretty rad!

Can’t recommend Rajesh enough. The guy is a top PT that really gets what we do, and more importantly what we don’t do but should do! Top dude!

That was rad! I’m stoked! Love the honesty. I’ll be 50 next month, a dirt jumper working on tail whips, and this stuff is inspirational. Keep pushing it Kirt

To me, the difference between the people who push harder to accomplish something is their mindset. They have more of a "need" mindset rather than "want" mindset. If you think that you need to get to this trick, need climb to the top of the mountain, need to work harder, need to get better, or whatever it is, constantly thinking you need to do something will push you much more than if you just want to do it.

I would agree, mindset is everything. There is a commonality of mindsets in all people that have success no matter what the activity is. The more you figure out the easier life can be. Rajesh

That was awesome. So wise. I tore my patellar tendon and am looking at a 2-3 year recovery (and I’m only 9 months in). Thanks Kirt.

Unfortunately, I never really discovered Kirt Voreis until this week. What a man! Great to listen to in order to help your skills etc. He was brilliant on the paul the punter vid too.
