2012 has been an awful year. It started out in early April. I put my suspension back on after having it revalved and took it up my road because I wanted to make sure there wasn't any air in my brake lines. And I didn't even get on the gas at all and my motor seized. It dropped a valve into the piston, which shattered the piston and crankrod and shaft. And put the rod through the side of the case. And my timing chain flew off and went into my transmission. It pretty much toasted the motor from top to bottom. So we bought a used 2009yz 250f to interchange parts with. And the motor that came from that lasted only 20days. Then while that bike was in the shop getting rebuilt. I was in the a practice session for the round 6 of the Missouri State Motocross Championship on my dads 2005 crf 250r. I had been doing the massive 90ft quadruple all day with no problems. I went over the quad and there was a guy wrecked on the landing. I hit his bike and was sent cartwheeling multiple times. I woke up strapped to a stretcher. I had broke the two bones in my wrist right where it connects to your hand, Cracked a rib, ripped my right meniscus, and broke my right ankle. So I was sidelined for months. I finally get my bike back and cleared to ride. So I am practicing at a local track and my bike seizes again at 9.9hours on the new motor. A faulty crankshaft bearing is the culprit. It bent 4 of my valves, broke my timing chain, and some other things. So I am currently working on getting a claim for the damage
