I used to be a hardcore longboarder. I'd burn down mountain roads. The worst injuries I experienced were the super sudden stops where human reflexes just aren't going to cut it.

"Making it a natural reaction" simply doesn't jive with physics when you're going a certain speed. Sorry, but what you said is dumb hippy logic.

I definitely wasn't writing this to the hardcore longboarders, it's my training strategy for city commuters and it has been quite successful in practice.

If you're burning down mountain roads my advice would shift to suggesting knee and elbow pads.
