If your not wrecking your not trying hard.(B.S)
I hate when i hear this . I always hear some of the older guys telling this to other riders .If your crashing its cause your doing something wrong plan and simple.you can ride really hard and try new things all day and still barley lay your bike down I know i do it all the time.Dont get me wrong though everyone crashes or throws there bike from some kinda error.Like ill get bad high sides when im coming in hot for a circle and overpower my brake then gas it hard and ill throw my bike .Or just some completely unexpected thing will happen then you wreck.
but the pint is dont listen to this bull **** .(if your not wrecking your not trying hard enough.

The guys that say that, just arn't pushing them selves. Daily drivers who just 'cruise'
If you want to get fast at the track, good at stunting, then you will go down regularly, you gotta push it past the limits to know where the limits are.
Just look at dirt bikers, they go out and crash over and over and over and over. The people who never crash never get fast!

Re: If your not wrecking your not trying hard.(B.S)
nah the way i see it is you just need to go past your limits a hair at a time, then practice a trick till you get blue in the face, master it, then push another hair further. crashing is for people who go wayyy beyond their limits, and people who get stuck are the ones who never push themselves. gotta be balanced when it comes to everything in life in order to be happy, lol.

I think its true to an extent.
theres a fine line between being flat out stupid and taking a calculated risk
