I practice every week...seriously, at least 2 times per week, you will find me in the publix or mall parking lot (always use a lot that is professionally swept/maintained) doing circles and figure 8's. I drag pegs doing as tight a circle as I can. I try to increase my speed every time. sometimes you can avoid a fall by being able to bob and weave around or away from trouble. Don't laugh until you can perform a figure 8 inside of 2 parking spaces...it's not that easy and you will drag a peg or knee, you are over that far

Safety experts suspect older riders with a lot of disposable income are buying more machine than their aging, out-of-practice bodies can handle.
