I learnt about 6 Years ago that I didn't bounce aswell as I used to. That was just before I went road after 16 years of MTB's. That last offroad fall hurt and hurt for a few months.
But MUPS--- I do not like them but use one on windy days when out to the coast. 99% of the users have enough sense to respect each other and look out for each other. It is the 1% that you have to watch out for. Kids and Dogs I don't have problem with as I don't trust any of them and look for them to give problems. Last problem I had was with a Young lad and his Girlfriend. They were so engrossed in each other that they only noticed I was there when I left the tyre marks up the boys Jersey. He just walked into me. I mean he walked into me--I had stopped because he didn't hear me yell out.
