I too learned to practice falling from age 10-up (IIRC inspired by cub leader), and that has really helped me avoid injury in countless bicycle, motorbike, and ski crashes over the years...
My best non-crash was riding at local market area (Granville Island) with old rail tracks still in place. One wet day, I was riding my Fargo where the tracks were parallel to the direction of travel, and tried to ease across these tracks. Something did not work as hoped, and the front wheel must have "tripped " on the rail, causing me to do a 180. I ended up still right-side up but facing the opposite direction I had just come from! Happily, no motor vehicles were nearby.. Phew, EricF Van BC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
