I'm getting more comfortable with the cyclocross remount but every time I do it, in the back of my mind, I hear a little voice that says "don't land on your nuts".

I had to look away everytime Tom remounted. He had the superman take off and landing going and I was sure it wasn't going to end well. Art was using the traditional land on the inner thigh approach. See how his knee is higher and his hips are rotated and lower. From that position, you just slide onto the saddle. Much safer and faster. Watch and learn young grasshopper.
It's a leap of faith.

Maybe cups should be required gear, like helmets!
