Two thoughts about the vid.
1) I admire the skill some of them have
2) There's no way in hell I'd be doing that without a cowhide layer between me and anything around me

Actually, the first thing that struck me about those guys was that they were riding without any eye protection.
A lack of other protective gear can't cause a crash, but if something blew into their eyes at that speed, they'd be fucked.

I disapprove of such a fatalistic outlook.
On a bike, at every moment of every ride, you're the one in control.
Your imperfection does not condemn you in those moments; it merely places upon you a burden of care.
Pride may come before a fall, but considering the fall inevitable is almost in itself a form of pride.

Now, now...get off (gently) you shortarse pony...
I was not being fatalistic, just realistic...I am not thinking of it as inevitable, but as a very likely outcome...the odds are that wether we like it or not, we all will at one stage or another in our lives as riders, irrespectively of our own individual skills, will be involved in an accident...
The question is: is your outlook preparing you for it better than mine is preparing me?
I like the defensive riding approach: always be prepared for the worse.

To which I would reply sweetly: you might consider not being such a pontific arse at times, and make a conscious effort not to misread things for the worst all the time...Well, that's OK then.
You might consider phrasing your statements on the subject more precisely.
Not me, cos I would trailer the bike over and spend all my energy on the track, not on getting thereMy question is: Which of us is going to be all sweaty and grumpy after riding to a racetrack and walking around in the sun all day?
