• Honestly crashing is probably the best part of CX / messing around in the woods. Crashing on the road is 100% shit and suspension on mountain bikes let you get up to collarbone-cracking speeds, whereas if you're fucking around on a cx bike generally you end up in the bushes before you actually get going or get "rad" air.

    Also crashing during a CX race means either you're a chopper or you're trying really really hard. Both of which will probably be true for a number of your first races.

    .....and onwards of course.
    There is also the other reason of failing brakes which resulted in me hurtling head first through a hedge onto the only rock in Tredegar.
