I've been thinking about this for a while. I don't crash very much. I've been mt. biking in one form or another on and off since 1986, and lately (the last year or so) I haven't had that many crashes.
I ride pretty hard and am usually keeping up with or in front of the guys I ride with. I don't hit a lot of huge jumps(I have been learning how to jump better though), but I do end up on some pretty technical dh. Even when I do crash lately, most of them haven't really rung my bell or anything.
So am I not pushing myself hard enough or have I just gotten good enough that crashes don't happen much?
