Thats not what we want to hear- unless it was offroad downhill over a gnarly root section taken at speed. Then you would have achieved something.
To be honest- I am trying to survive this winter without falling. First winter of road riding and the roads are not good right now. Offroad I know what to expect and have to skills to handle everything the track and conditions throw at me. But riding with my Head between my knees on a 42cm bar is still new to me.
