It is with great pleasure that we bring to you this awesome resource! Please join me in welcoming Gretchen to RiderDown, it is our hope that you will take full advantage of having her expertise, knowledge and energy at your disposal. So, as Gretchen says in MXi..."if you want to go fast, start here.....

I am the owner and operator of Kinetic Sports Science Training. My services include on location training, mental and life coaching, general and sports nutrition consulting, as well as developing custom training programs for individuals who's distance is too great for hands on training. I'd love to have you check out my website www.ksstraining.com for more detailed information. You can also read my regular column in the new motocross magazine Motocross Illustrated. The article is titled BASIC TRAINING.

Just like most riders, I've had some injuries that took a while to recover from. In 2004 I broke my throttle wrist and nearly lost my hand! That slowed me down a bit. In late 2005 a doctor diagnosed me with Young Onset Parkinson's Disease. However, as of yesterday (September 22) a very well respected and accomplished neurologist gave me the best news I've had in years! Its NOT Parkinsons!!! I do have whats known as Essential Tremor now, but its much more manageable and less life-robbing than Parkinsons! Whew! Unfortunately it will keep me off bikes, and I'll need a few surgeries, but hey, I'll have more time to hang out in here and help you guys!

Thanks for having me, I hope to make a meaningful contribution to the forums!

Hi Gretchen,

Welcome to RiderDown, you are exactly what we all need to stay in shape for the long haul. We all feel so bullet proof for so many years when we’re young and then get blind sided by all the new aches and pains that seem to come out of nowhere. Well I’m sure ready to start asking some questions and start listening to someone other than my riding buddies that are in denial just like I have been.

Once again, welcome aboard and congratulations on your good new and may more good news be found around many corners.
