Similar experience here.
I used to love blasting through the trails with abandon. Until the day I endoed and landed on my head and fractured two vertabrae. I was sore, but everything still moved. I was 42 had a wife and two small kids and loads of responsibility and here I was risking paralysis for the thrill of mtn biking.
I haven't been mtn biking since. Strictly a roadie now. Just my .02.
