Whip-it Wednesday
Let’s talk about the pink buffalo in the room… crashing.
.
Let me just get this out… you fear crashing WAY too much!
.
There it is, I said it. Phew!
.
Most of my crashes don’t hurt beyond scrapes and bruises. (let’s be honest, you brag about them when you have them…)
.
Believe it or not, most crashes do not result in broken bones and stitches, especially if you are a rider with a coach ;) Don’t get me wrong, some serious injuries happen in our sport, and even with my athletes.
.
So here is my advice for you: PRACTICE CRASHING!
.
Practicing crashing helps you:
Learn to anticipate a crash
Better planning and execution of a crash
Tuck and roll (no stiff arms please!)
Crashing in many ways
Toughen yourself up a bit (you need it, you know it)
Land on your feet more often!
Bailing (ditch the bike, save the bones)
Become more athletic
Check out this video I made about the topic.
