this is all good advice grassi. I'll add one thing. If you are really hauling a$$ sometimes the best thing to do is to just put yourself down. Its better to have a controlled fall then to careen down the trail like a pinball until you just blow up.
and the part about waiting too long is totally true. I try (emphasize try) to eat up as large chunks as possible cause alot of stopping and looking at lines and such, personally, makes me more tentative.
