Well, some people land on their feet more than others, and you may not
know until it's too late. One bad fall is all it takes.

A friend of mine who was learning (and has "great balance and good on
his feet"), rode away from his support, fell off and broke his wrist.
If he wore the wrist guards I had for him he would have been fine, but
he insisted he didn't need them. He refuses to try anymore.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist
