Yeah the advanced/difficult trails where I ride are more rocky, technical, with elevation and features (some man made but most natural). The problem was definitely between the ears on this crash. Because it was "easier" and I had "ran through it" alot I figured in my adrenaline induced arrogance that I could just hit it a good two or three mph faster and all would be well.
Well three miles an hour faster and it totally changed the topography of the launch point, landing zone, and elevation of a relatively benign drop - a change that I didn't account for and paid the price. But like anything, its about learning, adapting, and building the skills to accommodate it. Some lessons just hurt.
I am much better with the bruised ribs and contusions today but the rash all over is awful and the heavy laceration is threatening infection. Had to go back this morning and get check on.
