So it's Stuckied? Amen on OTBs post. I really agree with the "Own it" part. All crashes are rider error. What did you do and how can you avoid it again.

I am terribly analytical (was going to say anal, but you know how that flies around here!) I always critic my rides afterwards, crash or not to see where I could have improved. Sometimes all i recall (thankfully) is close calls and I make note of that before I try some boneheaded maneuver next ride.

Experience cometh from seat time and better riding from experience. Can't let a fall keep you from gaining more seat time if you really love what you do on 2 wheels. Accept responsibility for what happened and move on, wiser and better prepared...
