I can use a knife to cut stuff, in fact I do that all the time. So I'm sure I can juggle them. In fact, I've flipped them around in my hands before this means I'm good enough to juggle them on TV. In fact, I've juggled with balls before once. So, I'm good enough to use knives. I even did it with knives once.
Have I mentioned that I only have 3 fingers on my left hand?

didnt say you did have problems with regular riding. What is meant by that is that regular riding is a good place to learn things and gain tips and tricks and experience, twisties are not. To try and anagize it. When learning to shoot guns you didnt go to the range and do tuck and roll shoots first or moving targets first because those are hard. What you do is shoot at non moving targets while you arnt moving, once you are profiecent you move on, but you continue to practice basic shooting as that is the base of your skills. Make any sense

i see, well, i don't lack practice regular riding since like i said, i do all the time. it's a dual purpose, i get to my destination and i get practice as well.
once again, im not saying your lackign regular skills, just that you can never have enough of em. why not just ride around for a few hours in regular areas 2-3 times a week. cant hurt your ablilitys, and youd be suprised what you can learn on boreing main streets, at least i always am.

Just tell me you have wireless and a laptop - because I want you to post us from the hospital. You continue to be one of the best lessons for what I new rider should not do. Since you won't stop, you can at least continue to teach others as you fall away out of existence. I'm glad you are OK this time, but it seems like you are only sure you needed to be better prepared to turn fast - instead of being sure you should have slowed down.

i never said i wanna turn faster, i already gave that up long time ago. what i wanna learn is to be smooth, like i mentioned earlier.
i made a mistake, and i don't wanna run away from it, i wanna learn from it.
if i avoid canyons then that will mean im running away from my mistake.
i wanna apply the stuff i learned from my crash and do better on that canyon. what's wrong w/ that?
BTW... i didn't go home after i crashed, i continued canyon riding, i refused to go home since as long as i can still ride, i'll get up and try again.

i understand and am the same with with mistake and such. But charging head first into a mistake again is not what i want. I believe taking some time off of riding canyons and focusing on perfecting your basic foundation of skills is a solution to your problem and will help you ride the canyons.

Yeah, I think that Verm has had a hard lesson learned, lets not make this Blog the Roast of VermilionX
. I am interested in this new paint scheme. I have been cooking up some ideas about changing the color scheme of my bike too. I'd like to see some future ideas about the color scheme of your bike too Verm.

x2. Maybe this is a good opportunity to sit down with a few spraycans and do your own paintjob. You're working on junk fairings anyway, so you can be creative and paint it over and over until you get something you really like.
Then, when you're ready to get new farings, maybe you can have them professionally paint them in the same scheme you did your old farings.
Just an idea.
