I completely understand. I take fewer risks than I did when I was younger if for no other reason because if I don't turn on the lights in the shop in the morning I don't get paid and it's a downhill spiral from there. Which is why I focus as much on handing and technique as I do on fitness. Increasing skill with decrease risk and you enjoy it all the more. I don't go slower around corners and downhills than I used to - I go around them better with lower risk and it's even more fun to be mastering the techniques.
Does that make sense?
