"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
--Thomas Jefferson
we used it forever and a day ago at our bmx track. it helped give traction for riders with clipless pedals. it held up to steal scratching against it all the time.
think it's just too expensive. I imagine they find the cheapest thing as possible to paint those lines.

A couple thoughts on this.
First, it's great you're still with us, and your family still has their dad. Hope you heal up quickly.
Stuff happens, more so if pushing the matter like we all have done.
I have ridden fast for years, over 40, and have wrecked once, and have been taken out a couple times by others, so I can comment as I understand how the risks versus rewards scenarios happen, but.....
Like double A ron stated, anyone who has rode with you in the last few years knew this was going to happen to you sooner or later.
The poor choices you were making riding was a recipe for disaster.
Passing on the right, passing on blind corners, passing everything was incredibly dangerous.
Splitting cars where they are so freaked out they both go into the shoulder, and speeding everywhere has finally caught up to you.
You got off relatively lucky, as it could've been fatal, and not only for you, but others as well who you put in danger.
Please do everyone, yourself, and your family a huge favor, and never buy another bike, ever!
If you think I'm being to harsh, good. It really needs to be said, and perhaps it will open your eyes and others to what happens when a person rides like you have.
There is a time and place to go fast. Anyone can go fast. The trick is to know when to go slow, and have the maturity and self control to do just that.
Please post up the video, I'm sure it will reveal exactly why you wrecked.
