Yeah, it's rarely the techy chunky slow stuff where I get injured. I'm not much for Seth Hacks type riding....
There's a park by me which was an old zoo which has been repurposed as a park, rocks and features everywhere, last time I was there I rode it on a steel hardtail SS without incident.
My crashes are usually in fast race loops with virtually no tech. Riding seems to be regressing every year. Maybe I should take up knitting....
