Here's one to ponder: Does a rider's skill eventually get them into trouble?? I'm thinking about Trip's when to slow down thread. He feels he's at the point where he can not safely go any faster w/o harm/ serious risk. He's smart enough or mature enough to see this. BUT many out there, keep pushing and pushing the envelope until they are in the high percentile risk of crashing.
The Awesome for example only knows one way to ride, has TONS of skill, but has also decided he can no longer accept the risk of riding. Once you have reached that potential or that your skills are on par with the bike, it's only a matter of time, given the slight margin for error is even less.
