What Am I Supposed To Do?

Ok, so i was up at whistler last week and i fell hard on crabapple hits. I ended up wiht 10 stiches in my knee and a badly sprained legiment. Now my parents and other people in my family do not want to let me bike anymore because that accident could have been alot worse that it was. They dont want me to seriously hurt myself and screw up the rest of my life over a sport. What am i supposed to do? how can i get them to be ok with me biking again. I love biking theres nothing like the feeling of being out here in nature having a good time on my bike, Im sure most of you have this same feeling. I'm just stuck because i really dont want to give up something that i love that much but my family is holding together pretty strong and saying its to dangerous. anyway sorry for the long post i just dont know what im supposed to do. Does anyone have any ideas or been in a situation like this before?? Thanks everyone:(

tell them biking is your life and if they take it away they take away your life

plain and simple :P

^^^^ Yeah. Also try and convince them that it was just bad luck that made it happen. You fell a wierd way and it could have happened anywhere. It worked on mine.

shutup

throw the "i could die walking on the sidewalk". you can be scared of life, sitting in a room with no corners, in full body armor.

tell them to buy some fake plants and new stereo speakers

tell them its either biking or shooting up heroin for the rest of your life

Shit happens, you could get killed tomorrow by a drunk driver, I know people who have skiped on sidewalks and broken ankles. Just gotta live life, have fun and let your parents know that you are passionate about biking…..

you dont want to live the rest of your life saying "ya i used to mountain bike but my parents made me stop"

Ysay "FINE I'LL SIT ON MY COMPUTER AND GET NO EXERCISE AND DIE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO GET HURT". Yeah a friend of a sibling of mine broke his leg by falling of a counter he was sitting on.

I'm assuming that he was made fun of?

I belive that u just gotta let yourself heal first and around then they should be a bit more relaxed about you and biking. Then u attack them and tell them that you have met many new people, gained lots of self confidense and learned lots about yourself and it would be bad for you to stop now.
