Yeah, I think the biggest problem when you touch your front wheel is the panic factor and in our minds somewhere we have "If you touch, you're going down" mentality. Just 'cause you touch, you don't have to go down. I've done it several times over the years, thankfully never going down from it. Nerve wracking, though.
