Your best bet is to slow down and crash as little as possible. The speed will come more quickly if you limit the time upside down.
Yeah, I wondered if bending and weight could be a problem. The local in-door track here has some pretty big jumps so I'm finding it hard to find a slow and easy pace there that flows well. I will try to heed your advice though, thanks!
