What is that something? Does it have to be full-on redbull rampage level? Just a few rocks?
This is a question I often ask myself before a ride. Too often probably, I go with the "I am only going to ride “easy” trails at “moderate” speeds.
I don’t know about you guys, but I cannot think of many occasions when I have crashed riding a hard trail with obvious consequences. Probably because of the concentration and awareness those trails commands. Instead, I tend to make silly mistakes, like clipping a rock with my pedals on easy trails, at moderate speeds, when I’m not at my “A game”. I fear the day when it happens, and I don’t land face first on soft dirt.
