Go get em Monster.
I dont know if this applies to others, but it is my own personal racing mantra. "Race against yourself" As I said in the interview. I dont really compare myself or results to others. I ride as hard as can, leave it all the track, the results at that point are incidental. Last place or first place, I'm more concerned with how I ran MY race.
So like Haydug said, you can run hard, have a great race, have fun and not get hurt and still be very competetive.
Look at Jeff! he's the posterboy of old guys still being fast as he!!
Old Age and treachery will always overcome youth and exuberance

Great thread!!
The one thing I notice that changes most with age isnt the ability for speed but the conciousesness of the realities of injuries from crashing etc.
Not sure if that is good or bad since your not going very fast while pulling your machine out of the trees or off the tires etc but I dont remember thinking of it at all when I was a kid.
Gust, Eichner and Farr pretty much prove age isnt a barrier and are awsome riders (sorry if I missed someone lol).
