yes, and while one might plead ignorance or inexperience in this
area, no one who is riding this sport at most ANY level has the freedom to be
ignorant. It is a tough and very dangerous sport - I got out of it about as

inexperience, to me the very next question should be "then WHY are you
participating"?
