i fall because i think its coollol jokes, i mostly fall when i try new tricks or when im zoned out or tired. ex1) i was learning 360's i fell (a lot), ex2) i was thinking about my mom bitching at me cuz i broke my phone... i fell 6 times in 1km of shitty trails, ex3) um...well...im just tired and dont have the energy to do anything

I most frequently fall when my front wheel slides over the top of a berm (I tend to ride berms high), I also fall a lot by catching my pedal on roots and it kicks me off the bike (I do it all the time, I guess should watch where my pedals go more carefully), falling isn't something just for beginners, I've no idea why this is in a beginners thread!lol

I usually crash because I can't stop. It's definately got something to do with running the right tyres, i.e - not high rollers in mud.

Any tall-knob open tread is good for wet conditions like this... I personally run Kenda Telonix 2.4 on the back and it hauls me down from speed pretty well, but then again I also have a Kolossal DH 2.6 on the front Smile
