i usualy fall once at least! each time i go to a trail cause if i havent landed a 3 over dirt at perticular place i will before i leave, so basicly i keep trying, but that also means alot of falling until you get it just right!

I fall atleast twice when I'm riding. Usually its becuase I don't think about things and do stuf way above my skill level. no handed tucks from a 4 foot drop. Not gunna happen.

I fall everytime I ride something new... at least once, if not more. Sometimes a great fall is better than actually landing... it's more entertaining all- around.

The best riders have a couple loose screws... that is why we rock hard. Others use drugs and alcohol to get high, we crazies use adrenaline to get our kicks.

If your going to push the limits be prepared too brake a few. I usually fall when I am going to fast or go of a jump or drop wrong.
