If it is this common to get hurt, I am going to slow it down a little and ride with people that are more on my skill level.

28 months into it and

5 broken ribs
1 shattered collar bone
1 punctured lung
1 bruised lung
5 scars that will be there forever

Dude, you have no skills, crowd the trails and have really bad luck.

well maybe it was my "advanced skills class" teacher not doing that good of a job

AND you're my biggest failure.

In Harvey's defense....He taught me while I was riding a 26er - and I was fine on that until I hopped up on the 29er machine of death

I guess you need a bigger wheels to avoid having to fly over again.

[Luis]

so you were not comfortable eventhough i was in front of you?

I thought we had finished that section 20 minutes before the slow group led by Sandpine decided to drop in

MTB'ng is a risk.  All of us will get injured sooner or later.  You can take steps to minimize your risk, but the fact is you will get hurt.  I don't think serious injuries are up at all.  Thanks to the internet the info is out there more.

how dangerous is riding a fixie on a velodrome track?

20 minutes before that I was putting my bike on a rack to leave and you were calling me a p@$$y

Harvey's lesson #29

"When approaching a steep drop, move your center of gravity to the front of the bike and use the front brake HARD"

20 minutes before that I was putting my bike on a rack to leave and you were calling me a p@$$y

Lies, all lies.

In fact I specifically remember telling you to "not try anything over your head, especially if you hesitate"

I have to agree with this

[FACTORe]
