[TPR] With LINK this time. Re: An E-ticket ride

[steve at donegan.org]

Other than stunt drivers trying to spin I think all other spins are 100% driver error (well I guess mechanical failure too as that happened to me once). You either haven't judged the conditions, are being too aggressive for your skills, enter conditions unsuitable for the speed, or in your case try to make up for an ooops and get another ooops :-)
