As [MENTION=227213]wphamilton[/MENTION] notes .... Lot of people have actually USED THESE TECHNIQUES SUCCESSFULLY. Lots of people who have never tried claim it cannot be done.

Watch a weekend or two of Moto GP--- and watch people crash at 160 mph----and walk away. Those guys can do it, i guess i can manage it occasionally at 16 mph.

Those of you who cannot do it, have never tried it, cannot imagine it, and refuse to believe whatever you don't like ... Great. That's the New American Attitude. Experts are idiots, experience is untrue, prejudice and ignorance are the only things one can believe on.

I hope I never crash again. If it should happen .... I guarantee i will try to crash well .... again. I am not afraid of doing the impossible. .... seeing as I (and so many others here) have done it before .....

We had a CX race on an old golf course a few years ago. I definitely crashed there.

Yes, the hypothetical is we know we're going to crash, so the strategic part is picking the place where you're least likely to get seriously hurt.

Probably need to add that part of the strategy would be avoiding bunkers and CX races.

Jumping the practice green on an off-road 250cc was my first seriously bad crash when I was a junior in HS. Another time I hit a 2-foot ridge in the middle of the fairway on the ninth, going way too fast, and that was pretty rough also. You gotta take those golf courses seriously.

I think people who grew up doing BMX or skating in their teens/tweens are probably going to have the reflexes and people who are forty and never did that stuff are probably not going to learn now. I'm definitely much less brave than I could be on my MTB.
