You are more afraid of injury than actually taking air. All BMXers are not fond of injury and that is why they learn how to handle their courses, however they are built.
And one more thing, Mister Fear of scrambling the Rancheros, have you ever noticed that Maximum Exposure and Whacked-Out Sports ain't too keen on showing anybody dying? Let that be your guide!
Makes sense. I do have a fear of crashing and being broken up. It's strange because I can hop on my Yamaha and hit the freeway doing 70-80mph without a thought. I made the mistake of talking to my dad about it and he laughed saying "your old bones won't heal". I hear what he's saying but this is on my "Bucket List" of things to do before I die. Even if it's one race and I come in last. Just to be able to say I did it and get a picture. Lol.
