stretching? it's a personal choice I guess. If you think you need it do it, if not don't

before they hit the beaches at Normandy I wonder if the soldiers stretched? or if seal team 6 stretched before invading Bin Laden's house. These were important events where physical performance could make the difference between life and death

it never occurred to me to stretch before or after riding, and I also don't stretch before or after I cut grass or use a chain saw either
