[QUOTE="HajiWasAPunk, post: 1048270, member: 62723"] They're not trying to go faster than they ever have. (Bike failure and other riders making mistakes cause crashes too). This is so obvious to me even in the pro ranks. Carmicheal appears to ride to within 99% of his ability and crashes much less frequently than Stewart who seems to go between 99 - 105% of his ability. But when Stewart gets that 105 right and keeps the bike on 2 wheels, he's faster than Carmichael. I'm not pulling any punches about this. I (at age 32) started riding 7 months ago with my son and had never been on a track. We both race in the beginner class. Between the 2 of us, I've spent over $1500 in fees for riding class and private lessons with 2 guys (one is an ex factory rider) trying to learn to go faster. I could probably still get smoked by 80% of the ppl at the track any given night. But next week that may only be 75%. If I crash on the way to getting to that 75%, then so be it, I started this thread b/c WHEN that next crash happens, I'd like to do all I can to prevent an injury from it (staying in shape, learning how to ride/fall and wearing the right GEAR).
