No, you're wrong. And facetiousness added to rudeness doesn't do you any favors.

If a feature is dangerous it should be removed: that's why you don't like overly steep drops. Your facetiousness was pointless since I'd already acknowledged that normal racing can be hazardous. What's bad is encouraging racers to ride into a board where if anything goes wrong with their "technique" they're gonna splat.

Cross *is* about running and riding. Both natural and fake obstacles make it so. Obviously, if you can ride, do so. But I don't think we should encourage hazardous acrobatics. Some tricks are reasonable, others less so. Riding fast at a board goes wrong so often that it's silly to encourage, esp in situations where the actual sport could be highlighted. I've seen courses with hopping-features where a mess-up was less harsh, less likely.
