ep 62. How to Fall—Really? Yes, REALLY!

Let’s face it—falls happen. But did you know you can actually get better at bailing? In this episode, we break down key techniques to minimize trauma when things don’t go as planned. From riding within your limits to practicing exit strategies, we cover how to fall smarter and get back on the bike.

Some tips we dive into:

✅ Ride within your wheelhouse & take breaks when tired

✅ Keep your bike & gear in top shape

✅ Wear protective gear—helmet, pads, gloves, sunglasses

✅ Learn exit techniques like the North Shore dismount, tuck & roll, and how to ditch your bike safely

Oh, and when in doubt… dance it out! 💃
