It's true.
It is simple. You just can't give up on stuff like that. I have fallen off my bike numerous times with my tire getting caught up a branch, sliding on slick pavement (when there's a lot of rain), and other conditions. I just be a man, get up, and keep moving. Falling once does not stop me from going back to the same place again either. I dunno what it is with these quitters, because I fell MANY times on a snowboard my first time (some really bad, even partially hitting my head once). I just kept right at it eventually having a perfect run, much less falls, etc. Just don't give up, that's all I do with extreme sports.
I might try to get back into skateboarding next.
