ha!
it's safe, don't worry - I only displaced my ribcage and had to 2 chiropractor sessions... :)
Spds are not the best indeed, but I managed to not fall too much. These clips are from the most hardcore guys, Doug, Zach, etc...

every sunday they have Mr. Frank who plays in NYC, and he is about 50, with a geared MTB. He loves it and plays pretty slow, doesn't fall off often, and never badly.
These guys fall cause they push each other and go really fast.

Anyway I'll take it easy too - don't even think I can play on sunday (only 3 weeks after a foot fracture is very soon).
But let's get started! We need mallets mallets mallets!
Oh and a few street Hockey balls
