that "stat" takes into account many years of accidents before msf was around as well correct. what about 90% of last years accidents?
i only ask because of all the people I have taught to ride none have crashed, my son who went to MSF crashed.
was it msf fault of course not.
I guess I would say the stat is 100 % of crashes are msf grads.

Thats actually pretty sharp, the pink not so much, but I love the pattern. Are those plastics or actual paint?
