Went out for a ride this morning and rode 3 new tracks so that was awesome. Two were great but one was a bit hectic with damp roots etc down walls with nasty runouts.... pains me to say I climbed down one section in self preservation mode (open face helmet and not my chunky rubber).
Balked at a gap jump (unsighted) and ended up going over bars, skin off, fork lowers skuffed.... derker der. Next run sent it and landed well long at same trail pace. What I get for being "safe" and not listening to my motto of just send it. (Guy I was riding with had a big crash on a blind jump earlier in the ride so I was being a little cautious).
At nearly 40 I don't seem to bounce as well as when 20.
