Looking forward to the stories. Something I have always wondered about is what role attention plays in crashes and how we can maintain concentration while riding. My last 2 big crashes came on crazy easy trails when I tuned out for a moment and just completely ate sh*t.
After turning 40 I started to calm down my riding, then I moved west (to Montana) and started riding bike parks. I didn't realize how much I missed riding things that I didn't think I could ride. Last summer I rode some lines that scared the hell out of me, but the rush afterwards is addictive. For the past month I have wanted to hit the same feature, but the trails have been covered in snow. The thought of spending the next 3-5 months thinking about that dam feature is a major bummer and I can't wait till spring comes and I can finally ride it.
