Well @
CodyDog I am definitely pushing myself. I am riding trails that are right at, or above, my skill level. And where I am having issues clearing certain features, I go back and and again until I can do them clean. I am not riding the trails without stopping yet, but I am continuing to work.
While I agree that speed is my friend, as I have learned that momentum does help, I am definitely taking my time going down and around obstacles on the trails. Like you said, a lot of falls and mistakes. I am sure I'll have those too. Only at my age healing up will take me a little longer, which is why I'm dreading those falls.
