    You get a 10 for being honest that you crashed on a fire road. You may want to practice riding on tarmac and go really slow. Again a 10 for being honest.

    here's the entire video below ... alot of things came together to make this crash possible ...

    first i had my seat up in the climbing position so i can pedal downhill more easily and thus faster (so i was not able to drop my butt to help turn the bike) ...

    second i had loosened my brakes so i can pedal through turns while braking (i'd seen the pros do it, but their seat wasn't up) ...

    and obviously i took the turn too fast and at the wrong angle (probably could use a front tire that grips also) ...

    the crash it at the 5:30 mark

    Nice! At least you crashed towards the inside and not over the edge.
