Crashing....
Is an acquired skill. Just roll with it when it happens.

Rolling clipless off structures takes commitment. I used to skate. I had no problem bailing a botched stair case ollie. Riding flats is the same. Bailing flats is not too bad. Easier to roll out. Balling clipless is kinda scary sometimes. Crashing sometimes leads to your body taking the brunt of things.

I am a good roller-except when I don't. Clipless is just asking for added pain. I was really banged up, twisted like a pretzel and still had one foot clipped in. It was torture getting out. Pinned platforms would have been a huge help that day. Never clipping in on trails ever again. When its time to roll, I wanna roll.
