How to train UPDs?
I ride my 36er every other day and for months I have not had an upd. I don't go as fast as my legs permit because I am unsure if I can run out a high speed fall. Is there a way to train this ability?

Ride fast, jump off the front, and see if you don't fall.

Also someone suggested running – this could at least make me feel more confident when speed increases. |

Not running out of a UPD is not that big of a deal. You may get a bit scraped up. At the very least, make sure to wear wrist guards (and a helmet!) when riding faster.

add knee guards if you're really worried about it. stay sharp when riding fast and roll if gravity really gets the best of you. avoid direct blows to the knees.
