    For me.....exposure is about don't fall off the side of the trail. Could be 25'...could be 300'...doesn't matter.

    Weather/elements is not exposure

    Exposure and I don't get along. I can ride trails that are narrow, rocky. rutted, but put that trail next to a cliff, and I am out. I am a "what if" person, and I suffer from Vertigo, so those exposed trails are not on my list of "to do" trails.

    I'm mostly with you on that, but I've found that my tolerance has increased quite a bit. Motorway doesn't bother me at all; SART was manageable; the FLoop is still sketchy. :p

    There are limits I won't exceed, and I'm not real concerned with how others see that.

    I actually laughed out loud. Well done. :thumbsup:

    And unlike my friend @Redman, I have peripheral vision. And it warns me of danger. Can't help it.

    So that's why your eyes are on the side of your head. Now I understand.

    To some degree, but it's always active. Highly beneficial in sports performance in most contexts. Maybe not so much in alerting me to danger I wish to ignore.

    If, in the event I crash, I can recite my favorite limerick before I stop falling/tumbling, that's exposure.
