whoaa, FIERCE rock garden crashes!!



And those of you that are fans of RUSH, and don't MTB, lick me.

You ought to learn to mountain bike, but uh, if you don't have
mountains, then maybe not.

This rock garden is tough cuz it's not on the side of a mountain, and
the speed that MTBers need has to be created by themselves, not
gravity. Also, most of these guys are picking "bad lines", they're not
knowing the other side of rocks, or prepping for the other side, and
all the crashes happened when their front wheel locked up on the
opposite side of a rock they cleared, so poor anticipation and no
preparation for slots, & pockets, and what you see is face-plants (I
did them on Deer Creek Canyon 3 times), always by the front wheel
getting locked up. I know personally I could clear this rock garden,
and the whole trick to it is picking a good line that is visible, and
that usually means picking the biggest rocks and going over them, then
preparing for your front wheel to get locked.
