I fall ALOT, nit because of lack of skll, but because every time i ride, i try to push myself Further and further, to increase my skill as a rider...


If your not crashing, your not trying hard enough.

I fall every one in a while, and it's because I screwed up.

Gaining skill and technique is usually something left at it's natural pace. When you try to force yourself to get much better at something in a short time, sure you can succeed, but what if you crash hard and put yourself out of riding for a month? What does that accomplish?

I tend to fall once or twice a week if I ride 5 or 6 times a week now that I'm on my BMX.

When I rode MTB I didn't fall that often because it was rare I'd go anywhere testing

worst part about riding DH is that theres not really any room to bail. you have to stick it all the way, or go down hard. like once every 3 rides i have a slip out (no big deal), but like once every 2 months or so i bite it nicely, and am out for a week or so. its well worth it lol tup
