[QUOTE="redsput, post: 1229027, member: 59075"] Good advice so far. Important to keep limbs close to the body, but not rigid. Rag doll is good - bones and connective tissue break/tear when you get rigid and try to stop yourself. Not crashing - yep - obvious. How about Protective gear? I slapped a tree last weekend at about 30+ mph woods riding after catching a squirly root out of a fast corner. Shoulder glanced off a tree then I flew like superman (or maybe stupidman?) till I landed very much not like a superhero across a down tree laying off the trail. Broke my Fox chest protector. Arm cap ripped off and the chest plate cracked in two places - but it did it's job. Yea - ouch and will be for a while, but xrays show nothing broken. I attribute that to good gear. Boots, helmet, neck nut, chest protector, knee pads, and if you're a woods rider, a good set of hand guards also to spare those mashed fingers. Wouldn't ride without! [/QUOTE]
