i don't get all the haters on the clipless
i keep mine set pretty loose, but i bail out of them now like they're second nature. i had a front tire wash out on me last time out. i bailed off the bike and didn't even have to think about unclipping.
after you really get used to them it's no big deal. but i also keep em set loose.
taking unsafe rigs to a whole other level
I agree about the clipless. It took my years to even try them because I was afraid of not being able to get out of them quick enough. After just a few rides I was perfectly comfortable with them and to be honest, don't know if I could ride without them.
If you have never tried them, give them a shot.
Though I will say, I was never huge into real downhill. The downhill I did was out of necessity since most all single track around here has hills...and I would rather be going down them than up.
The Dr? Really?
x2 on the clipless. The Dr. huh.....hmmm.

hmmmm lets see, hand hurts to the point I can bearly type... Its all swolen and black and blue, no strength in it... YOU FIGURE IT OUT! Im no doctor, and its better to be safe than end up with a crippled hand for the rest of my life!
Oh, Chris theres a difference between being exposed on a bicycle than being enclosed in a vehicle... With a partial degree in engineering I would have figured you would have known the difference...

that sucks dude! ...i swear i still have rocks in one of my knees.
my buddy nick headed out there, but i had to work...and it was hot. He was on a king fish that I was going to end up buying, but wrecked it bad. WTF! ...I need to get out there though!
About the clip-in's... I was pretty convinced myself that they were the shit UNTIL I did moraine state park's trails. Granted im no professional, but when you are on serious, rocky terrain where there are drops, log-overs, bridges, etc, you cant just lolly-gag over this stuff being clipped in. I firmly believe that if you bow to clip-in's, then your a XC rider; if you hate clip-in's, then your downhill bound. I would be into the combo pedals, but they weigh a ton.. i might be switching...
lame
I use to ride Moraine all the time. That was actually my favorite place. That is also where I trashed the most bikes.
The Dr? I ahve had dislocated hip, knee cap, broken wrist, crushed knuckles. It wasn't until I put a hole in my leg that I went to the Dr. Ice works well for swelling.
did your doc give you any of these?

you make it sound like i am the only one who flamed you.
next time you wreck your bike and decide to post it, ask your doc for some sedatives so you aren't so moody.

and i need to get over myself???and im an adrenaline junkie, so it works! Honestly after the wreck I stood up and didnt feel a thing! I rode the bike off the mountain. The guy working the slope asked me if I wanted to get looked at and I said no. He asked me why I hit the jump so hard, and I said "Go big or go home!" I think he thought I was nuts at that point!
