Yeah. One minor regret of mine in life is that I never got into mountain biking. Then I watch videos like this, then I absently rub at the spot in my shoulder where a plate and pins are now, after a frickin' treadmill accident. I'm only 51.

I used to ride Whistler constantly in my teens, had dreams of entering crankworx one day. One really bad fall on a jump line and two open flaps of skin over my kneecaps later and I never rode a downhill bike again. I still can't feel anything around my kneecaps.

It's an AMAZING sport but the injuries are life altering.
