    I don't hate unless you start talking smack about something. I'm 225 on a good day right now...so it's a lot of weight to pedal uphill with..

    Harness the false confidence. Sports like biking require a level of confidence (real or imagined) to be successful and safe. You start doubting yourself and thats often when injuries ensue.

    Obviously there is a line for everyone. Cross that line and things get ugly fast.

    That's what happened to me in the video i posted earlier, where I hit the tree. Got too fast for conditions and got out of control.

    have you gone over your handlebars or wiped out yet?

    I did on a trail way above my skill level I don't have video of, came down a gap between two rocks and there was a rock just large enough in the gap to just completely grab my front wheel. Full stop, taco'd the wheel and went flying.

    Once I laid down a motorcycle at 100 MPH, now everything else is slow motion. :)

    Falling is actually a skill in my opinion. If you're actually out there doing anything active rather than sitting on your ass, falling is inevitable. Might as well learn to do it correctly.

    IE. stunt people

    I can make the date the 29th for the thread. That date works for me for sure.

    if you could stop saying things that apply perfectly to my current situation, things would be a lot less creepy.
