Yeah, my knee's are pretty much gone, and the landing impact got to be extremely painful after a while which took the fun out of it. There's a real science to landing. All it takes is one really wrong landing where you mis judge the wind direction that can completely mess you up.

Beiseker had a really bad reputation I was invited out there once and I refused. I didn't trust them to pack cutes, and they wouldn't allow me to pack my own. Plus their attempt to cover up one death gave me the wiggins.
