bad influences???

so i was just wondering how many people have been influence to attempt a daring trick all for the significance of being awesome to your peers?? i have always been extremely good at what i do wether it was snowboarding, skateboarding, motocross, streetbikes. whatever. . . . but over the past few yrs, i've found that everytime i was trying to "show off" accidents happened. once i wanted to pull a HUGE backside 360 off a 75' gap snowboarding. So for my practice run i did a straight air method to get the speed right. and of course in my AMPED up moment i forgot about all the variables (conditions/just waxed my board/little skier decided to cut me off last minute) resulting in tooooo much speed, a method tweaked way to early, causing an over shot landing/ bellyflop!!!! talk about a major concusion, i didnt know where i was!!! lol what a dumbass, i could do 360s, i could do HUGE straight airs and yet i totally screwed up!!!
i have more stories like that with motorcycles, and it all hit me 1 yr and a half ago when i finally broke my first bone. i have the talent for learning dangerous stunts way too quick!!! and my reality check is "who am i doin these stunts for??" God or man?? God gave me the talent to stand on my gas tank and ride a wheelie at 10 mph, but God also did not tell me to try that trick the first day on a bike!! when is the right time??? after experiencing many down falls i've learned, there is a time and a place for everything, man will always rush you into greatness, every1 wants the glory of being great!! BUT IT IS THE BIGGEST TRAP THE DEVIL WILL SET TO RUIN YOUR LIFE. i have a humble heart now as i perform wether in the snow or on the street!!! and because of that i get more respect from others around, dont get me wrong, i'm always pushing the limit getting better and better. but now in Gods timing!!! just because some1 tells me to try something new doesnt mean i'm gonna anymore. . . .
