Yes, but I have cut way back on the more extreme stuff, like big drops and riding down super steep rocky terrain! In almost 8 years of riding (6-7 days a week!) I've never had a broken bone or an injury serious enough to put me out of commission for long. Mostly bad sprains and bruises.

The last was a water balloon sized hematoma on my back from falling square onto a protruding rock, during a fall down rocky section. Prior to that I jammed my finger so bad that I'm still wearing a splint 3 months later!

I used to ride mainly for the thrill and challenge myself to go "big", but more and more I do it for the sheer joy and for the adrenaline rush, and the endurance aspect to keep in shape.
