Cross Country Thread!

Do you think riders are taking more chances/going off long strides BECAUSE there are frangible pins? ie are the fences no longer being given the respect that they need?
 
I dont know if it's my age, hormones, that's I'm a sap in general or a combination of them all but I get all the feels when I see Willberrys out on course 🥺

I don't think it's the knowledge of the pins being there, I wonder if it may just be a touch too long with the striding and with them being such wide fences you have to be really stretched out to make it over.
