“You’re guaranteed to crash,” Scott says to a nearby customer who wants to rent a mountain bike for the Skyline trail down the spine of the Haleakala volcano. Scott is a bike mechanic who days later shattered his wrist to powder on a dirt bike. Pins, plates, screws and wire hold what is left together; he still has no feeling in his fingertips a week later. When he talks about crashing, you have to wonder whether you share his pain threshold or not.

You again, really?
