I totally agree with you Michelle.  If I don't crash/fall I feel like I'm not pushing hard enough...I rode for the first time this weekend in some serious deep, goopy mud.  I had such a hard time with it, kept falling, stalling, etc...I finally listened to the advice that was given to me "When in doubt, gas it".  After my second time through the mud I didn't fall as much, but damned if I don't make myself go back there and try try try until I get through it without falling once.

A couple of weeks ago I went on the Paragon trip.  I fell so many times it wasn't even funny.  I feel in everything from loose sand, to mud, to rocks.  But after two days of riding in completely new environment I felt a lot more confident.  And after seeing people I was with, who are much better riders than me, crash and fall I actually felt better (that sounds so rude!!!).

My point is...the more you crash and fall the harder it makes you want to work and tackle those things that usually kick your butt!!!
