@wyorider: I had my aluminum dh frame stripped before last season and was worried about the maintenance and corrosion but ended up leaving it raw because I liked the look. Haven't touched it other than buffing out a few surface scratches and it still looks exactly the way it did when I got it back from the blaster. Raw aluminum components being difficult and corroding immediately is a myth.

Opinion: The Opposite of Learning to Fly
The Kung Fu-comment actuallt isn't as bad as you thought. I grew up doing quite a bit of martial arts (most relevant for this is a few years of jiu jitsu) and the movement of the forward shoulder roll is still ingrained into my muscle memory. Over the 15 or so years I've been riding I've crashed quite a lot at times, and almost always when I go over the bars I end up with bruises from my right elbow and shoulder diagonally across my back.
So my tip to anyone not used to tucking and rolling is that even if you don't take up martial arts, look into the grappling sports falling techniques on how to dissipate energy and how to fall without slamming into the ground and start practicing on a lawn (or on the trampoline if you have kids in the suburbs. Great fun!)
