I know what you mean about not breaking any bits. I like to ride hard, but I always try to stay in control. That is why the guys are busting me about my downhill speed. I just can't seem to let it rip. I am 44, and if I take a big fall, it will take to long to heal. I took a slow fall a few weeks back on really rocky terrain, and it took two weeks for the deep bruises to heal up.
I am getting better though, riding faster downhill without being out of control.
