I know what ya mean Eric. As a motocross racer jumpin huge doubles and triples don't really bother me. It's nice and quiet in the air, relaxing so to speak. ( if all goes well) But I've done a few haresrambles and the trees freak me right out! Not to mention all of a sudden your flying through the woods and then there's a turn out of nowwhere straight uphill. No thanks, I'll stick to the track where an ambulance or Lifeflight can get to me quick!

closest equivalent are rally racers - they go 120+mph down dirt roads just wider than the car surounded by trees inside a steal frames car with a steal tube cage inside it and they still sometimes die.
