Hey all,

I've been reading with interest all the dissection of the St. Honore crash. One thing that I find really interesting is the discussion of pack dynamic and failure to focus. Another is the fear of riding in packs. I'd like to suggest that you give BMX racing a try. That will cure any tendency to let the mind wander while rubbing elbows. I think BMX will also greatly help with your pack riding skills-- you're essentially sprinting while simultaneously jockeying for position, pumping, turning, and jumping. (In case you're wondering, I'm 41 and there's plenty of competition in my age group at the tracks.)

Ride safely out there guys.

Brian J.
