I must be a sissy when it comes to "technical" riding. We have a trail called the "Rock Garden", and it is a simple 2 mile loop that has about 15 or so rock "obstacles" that are littered on the trail. Some of them have drops; some of them are kinda like stairs; others are a spine that you have to ride along; others are just at weird cambers. Everytime I ride it, I think to myself "ok, today you are going to ride more of the obstacles", but when I get there, I still ride the two or three that I am capable of, and walk around the rest.

For me, I guess the risk just isn't worth the reward anymore. I mean, I will heal, but why trash my bike?
