Ditto all that. Yesterday I had one of those learning experiences. Trails were SWEET after an afternoon rain and it was cool, and I was cooking along at a nice pace and on rain packed trail 😃
There in the the trail was about 3" limb laying across the trail with some vines going down to it’s [i:3fl3cz0m]left[/i:3fl3cz0m] end…. no biggie I thought and just proceeded to loft the front over the log and blast on over and through the trail junk- that’s how I do it on a dirt bike( with 220 more # of mo and hand/brushguards…) so WTF, right? Well no sooner than my rear wheel came over the limb did I realize instantly that 1) I was decelleration at an alarming rate 😮 2) and I was rapidly endoing and rotating around the front wheel 😏 then 3) was flying through the air, already laughing before I hit the ground- tuck and roll and giggle 😆 The vine had gotten hung on my front brake and I did the stoppie from hell. No injury other than a minor knee booboo.
Note to self- respect vines more 😆
