As an aside...as you all know I DO love to go off on a tangent
:facepalm:
After Dave Mirra's suicide, due apparently to contracting CTE...is our sport really safe long term ? Frick knows with all the growing popularity of huge jumps, racing through forest trails at 50mph with the inevitable collisions, what could be lying in store for the next gen in 20/30 yrs ?

Re:
Hopefully not THM !
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in athletes (and others) with a history of repetitive brain trauma, including symptomatic concussions as well as asymptomatic subconcussive hits to the head. This trauma triggers progressive degeneration of the brain tissue, including the build-up of an abnormal protein called tau. These changes in the brain can begin months, years, or even decades after the last brain trauma or end of active athletic involvement. The brain degeneration is associated with memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, and, eventually, progressive dementia.

Thankfully we were more into the cardio and scenery in our prime.

Re:
Today I wore skinny jeans, and remembered why I never do these days.
No pocket safe for phone. No zip up pocket for my wrap of £20s.
Not so much getting old, just knowing what works.
