Hi everyone!

I've created this poll to complement the one created by @SamSuffit here:

Combining the data from both of them should yield some interesting insight into our EUC use, if you haven't taken his "general, EUC-usage" poll, I encourage you to do so! :)

There's unpaved trails and there's grassy fields. Grassy fields = death. I think the grassy fields might be the most dangerous of all choices because you cannot see holes and hence cannot avoid nor prepare for them. It's like purposefully riding at night without a light on an unknown road with known potholes. The majority of crashes that I didn't run off were grassy fields.
