Glad you're ok!
As we say, "there's two kinds of riders: those who've crashed, and those who will crash"! The only thing we are really in control of is having the right gear on when it's our turn...

 

BTW, I grew up riding bicycles on a continent where it's customary to locate the front brake lever on the right. I have set up EVERY one of my bicycles since to the same so that I NEVER have to second-guess which lever the front brake is in a panic situation, motorcycle or bicycle.

 

Smart man haha! Yeah i just have to be more concious, ive never made so mistakes before. I suppose we all have our off days

 

Meh. Crashes are about a 50% likelyhood for each stunt, when playing around.

 

Yeah, I knew the risks, still, can't help but get mad at myself for those mistakes I knew better

 

I eat **** at least twice if not more when I go ride offroad. Its just part of the game. As for the street only once when I grabbed to much front brake in some gravel.

From a few weeks ago. Guess a little to much lean and rear brake.

 

see I only low sided once in the dirt, both other times were high sides. I'm feeling it now in my hup haha

 

When we are riding hard, I’ll go down at least once or twice. When I’m riding on the edge of my capabilities, sometime I go over that edge. Thank god for the gear I wear and the soft sand I ride in. I have mastered the “tuck-n-roll.”

 

Yeah having the correct gear is the key. I always wear mx boots, knee/shin pads, mesh jacked with pads, gloves and helmet. I have yet to loose any skin, just some soreness. And yes the tuck-n-roll is something to learn.
