Crashing hurts, I try not to crash too often.

I try not to but the more I ride the more comfortable I get, then I try and push it a little bit and that’s when the crashes happen. So far they have been just a learning experience and not serious injury, but I’m wearing more protective gear now when I go to places with lots of jumps or areas where there are big drops on the side of the trail

About half of these could be prevented by adding 3 clicks of rebound to the rear shock.

I don’t think most of these people know what shock tuning is...

If you’re pushing your limits, you’re probably gonna crash, it’s just part of the sport if you’re trying to improve.

When my wife rides with us she complains she feels so inferior to us skills wise , but at the same time she doesn’t push herself because she’s afraid of getting hurt. ¯\_()_/¯
