How about the time my wife and I were riding the trail at the Unicoi State Park in GA. On the back side of the 1st loop, there is a fast technical downhill section through one of the descents, then through some smooth fast switchbacks that end at the stream.

At the top of the descent, my wife has some apprehension, so I tell her, "don't use your brakes through the technical stuff. The faster you go, the more forward momentum you have and the less likely that you'll fall over. Your bike is full suspension, use it!"

She goes first, I wait a usual 15-20 seconds and I go. I don't see her at all! I go through the tech stuff, and she's nowhere to be found, so I keep riding. I finally meet her at the bottom by the stream and she asks, "Where you been?" I reply, "Well, I was riding that there trail that was technical and fun!" She then says, "I've been waiting awhile for you." I ask, "How long?" She answers "I dunno, but I did what you said and didn't use my brakes at all."

I was stunned, "AT ALL? I meant just through the technical section!!!!!"
