You'll ruin your knees!
some good stuff here... direct line is good... just past the point where you think you are out of control... the wobble board/maze is cool!

Yes, thanks all.

I'm trying to learn how to run downhill on gnarly trails better.
The last time I did this (March 26), I tore a tendon in the top of my foot. It's gonna be a long, long time before I can try, try again.

Imminent Catastrophe
Once right after a technical trail race I was walking across a parking lot and fell! Now that's embarrassing!

The more I run trails the less I fall. Used to fall often (not picking up tired legs mostly). Sorta the "practice" thing you mentioned.
I still fall but usually due to some unseen obstacle.

You guys are the best.
Only one fall and one ankle turn, neither of which was at all bad.
Thank you!
